I hope that everyone was able to have a great Christmas Day yesterday! We definitely enjoyed it. Church only included sacrament meeting, and then we had lunch with one our Bishops, Bishop Dunn, and his family. I ate eggs benedict for the first time, it was pretty good! In the afternoon, we Skyped our families, and I loved talking to mom haha. In...

So many things happened this week, I can hardly keep track of it! Today, I turned 21 years old. I remember thinking as a teenager, once I'm in my 20s, I hope I have my life all planned out, and know who I am, and who I want to be. Somewhat true, but still a work in progress! I'm grateful to be here,...

This week was another wonderful week :) We had MLC in town on Saturday and Elder LeGrand Curtis Jr. gave some training. He really focused on how Jesus Christ was the greatest of all, but also the biggest servant of all. A call to lead really is a call to serve those around us, as Christ did. "The church is like volleyball; we...

It's officially December! If you'd like a Christmas card from us, please let me know your address! We'll try to send out some this week. :) And 20 days until Christmas!  This past week was full of wonderful conversations and people. I love love showing the Christmas video to others because it just touches their hearts, and reminds all of us to think...

It's almost December! Now that Thanksgiving is over, we can show the Christmas video to everyone who comes to the Visitors Center :) If you haven't watched it yet, go on mormon.org/christmas ! I love the Christmas season because we can ponder on the influence of Jesus Christ in our lives, and what a gift He is, but the initiative is inviting all...

Another transfer complete, and a new one to come. I can't believe how fast it's gone! Sister Evans will be with Sister Nunez for her last three weeks (she's living mid-transfer so she can be home for Christmas), and my new companion will be Sister Allen! She's from Provo, Utah, and she served for half her mission in the Japan Sendai Mission, and...

We went on two exchanges this week and it was fun but tiring haha. Really fun because I get to know and learn from how different sisters approach their missionary work. Tiring because I feel like I talk a lot more on exchanges than I usually do hahaha. I'm grateful it really is learning experiences for both them and me. This week I...

Aloha! Yesterday evening, we had the privilege to listen to Sheri Dew, who is the CEO of Deseret Book Company. Some key points that I learned: even a little improvement means a lot to the Lord  questions are good, having questions does not directly correlate with your testimony, questions are a way for us to gain knowledge, revelation, and faith; as long as...

Aloha! I can't believe this is already November! About one year ago was when we first landed in Hawaii to begin serving in the Visitors Center. So many changes since then, and so many lessons learned, but I'm super excited for the Christmas season to get here! I got to go on exchanges (we switch companions for 24 hours) this week with Sister...

To be honest, being a sister training leader has a lot of challenges, but many blessings too. I know I don't know everything, but Heavenly Father helps me to do what I can, and to learn from everyone I serve with. We finally met Sister Sicotte yesterday, coming straight from the MTC. She's called her Mandarin speaking, but she is from North Carolina....

Happy belated Canadian Thanksgiving everyone! I totally did not think about it until Sister Lee told me haha. But I was able to meet quite a few Canadians on vacation who came to visit the temple. The new sisters are getting used to missionary work here, and have really good companions who are helping them along. I wonder if I looked overwhelmed or...

(she's been an STL for a while), and there's actually two pairs of STLs now to...
