humbling myself

This week was a little hard. I had to be taught a massive lesson with humbling myself and just really giving everything to the Lord. It was good though. I really love the fact that if we want to know who we are... SERVE A MISSION. If we want to know who the Lord wants us to be... SERVE A MISSION.

The Book of Mormon is one of the most precious things to me. It has changed my life. YAY! But what else is greatest was that I got a book of Mormon in Maori! YAY! Life is same old same old. Just a normal everyday missionary that has trials just like everyone else. Not exempt even though I wish ;) im still a normal human being. Missionary Life is the good life.,.. Best decision everrrrrrr! This week my companion was very sick and I had a massive headache too and so we didn't have such a great week but I introduced my companion to the McDonalds Frappes and she was against them before because she thought it was bad and then she had one right after the doctors and oh she is hooked! Last night we had a fireside and I got to see my beautiful President and his wife as they came and also got to listen to President Going and his wife talk as well as it was a missionary fireside! President Going is the temple president and he used to be an All Black but retired now obviously! But it was amazing just all being together and listening to their talks and then seeing Sister Tepa there! She came up behind and tapped me on the shoulder and I turned and freaked!!!!! We just started jumping up and down and hugging whilst still keeping control of ourselves and I just loved seeing her again. Sister Tepa is from Brisbane Australia from the Ipswich Australia Stake and so it was so much fun being with her again even if it was only talking to her for 2minutes. Her companion is Sister Prince and I love Sister Prince too. Im just so priveledge to have been here serving with these sisters in this time of my life. I really am surrounded by amazing missionaries.... elders and sisters that I dearly love and that's why heavenly father has called me to this place in this moment in time.

  Surprise letter in the mail from my MTC companion who is so thoughtful and I haven't written to her since we left the MTC in February and her name is Sister Travers from Tasmania, Australia. So precious isn't she. And I also got letters from my precious primary kids back in my home ward. Precious!

Oh and one even said to me if I liked McFlurrys!!!!! Probably because my last name is McFlinn!!!! Classic!

And then being able to be with Sister Simkins and Sister Clarke for a little while as they had to come up to Auckland and do some things. I cam out at the same time as Sister Clarke and so it was amazing to be able to get to know her a whole lot better and Sister Simkins also.
