Hey y'all I'm back... it's been a long 4 days lol. I GOT WHITE WASHED!! And no this is not racist saying, cause when I first heard that, I thought it was. White wash means they took me out of my beautiful Soaring Eagles area😭 and put me in an Elders area!!

So I got a new comp. She's pretty cool ig.🤷‍♀️  We got put in East Plains Zone, but it's called Eagles Point Area. I don't know why all my areas so far have had an Eagle in the name lol!🦅 So they took the elders out of Eagle Point and put us in, and this ward has not seen Sister in like 10 years. We first had transfers so I had to say good bye to my trainer, the great Sister Simmons. It was hard cause we became very close these past three months! I know she will cry every night cause of how much she will miss me😁😢 but it's all good. We can party it up in P-town soon!! 

RIP AMYS DONUTS😭

We then headed to Eagle Point ready to serve!🫡 We opened the door to the new place and found two rusty, dirty, bikes in the middle of the living room. Making the carpet black because of it lol. Because this was an Elders place, it was a mess. So every night after 9, I chose one thing to clean, and my first project was the fridge. It was disgusting!🤮 I deep cleaned that thing lol!! I washed every shelf!! So if you need a cleaning service I'm free in 15 months, so call me 1-800-RMclean! But for real, elders If you have Sisters swapin' y'all out in the area, clean those apartments! Mold is no Bueno!

The ward is eating us up!! They absolutely love us. We had a dinner the first night we were here and they cried when they opened the door. They said the whole ward has been praying for sisters so it's gonna be lit!! Dinners Every night🙌

I had to say goodbye to the old district, but it's ok, I left a lasting pickleball impression🙌 We played kings court, and of course I'm queen of the court!! But for real though, the district was lit and we will play in Utah, so no worries!

I have a new comp, her name is Sister Brooklyn Wilkens, but when I first found out I thought her name was Sister Webkins. Like those stuff animals we could play with online if anyone remembers that. She's awesome she's from Mesa Arizona and she's been out for about 11 months!! She's pretty cool. We had some fun so far singing "This is Me" from Camp Rock, in the car, so that lit.

People here are meannnn!! I'm in a nicer area then where I was, so the houses are nicer and stuff like that, but the people are not nice lol! We went tracting and so many people yelled and slammed the door, but it's fine with me cause that's their salvation down the line, until sprit world life!! I play games during tracting cause it makes it more fun, so I like to guess who lives there and how will they react. I'm right 90% of the time lol. 

That's basically it.  Sorry this is soo short lol, it's like I just wrote one 4 days ago 🤔

Just wanted to end with a little spiritual thought! A lot of my friends this past week are leaving soon for their missions so they're giving their farewell talks, which is so amazing because the mission life is lit and they will love it!!

I wanted to share a quick scripture verse about us missionaries! This one is from Alma 26:15.

"Yea, they were encircled about with everlasting darkness and destruction; but behold, he has brought them into his everlasting light, yea, into everlasting salvation; and they are encircled about with the matchless bounty of his love; yea, and we have been instruments in his hands of doing this great and marvelous work." 

We truly are doing the most important work on this earth and don't y'all forget that!! You will see so many blessings and be surrounded in His love!! I know for me the first 3 months were hard, and tbh it's still hard, but I know that this work is soooo marvelous and will bringing people to Christ is the best thing you can do!

Love you all!! Have fun with summer, and wake surf for me 🏄‍♀️☀️
