A Letter For Mumma xx


Man I miss you Mumma. I am really sad to have to come home BUT I am also so very excited to embrace you!!!!!

 

The mission has taught me so much Mumma. The Gospel is so PERFECT. We are NOT! But if we heed to the teachings of the Gospel we can be... as much as we can be in this life anyway. This is preparation for the next life and so I know that we can try our hardest to do all that we can... Mumma!

 


I love the mission with all of my heart, the people that I have met here, the converts I have helped to receive that salvation, the eternal friendships that I have made... I am going to miss it all but I am so BLESSED and so GRATEFUL to have this opportunity! I know that my life would have been incomplete without it. Thank you so much Mumma for being the perfect example for me. Everyone I meet always tell me to thank my parents, especially my Mum for raising such a beautiful woman. THANKS SO MUCH MUMMA!!!! I LOVE YOU. I would be nothing without you, being born and raised in the Gospel has been the perfect gift.

 

The Atonement is so real, I am not proud of the things that I have done in the past BUT I am blessed to know that the Atonement of Jesus Christ purifies all things. It doesn't matter who you are or what you've done... Jesus Christ made a sacrifice for us so that we can have that exaltation and be saved... I am so grateful for the Priesthood keys that have been restored to us through a true servant of God, Joseph Smith. He restored the Gospel of Jesus Christ with all of the ordinances that Jesus Christ established His church with when He walked the earth. This Gospel is PERFECT and if we want true and everlasting happiness in this life then we need to LIVE the Gospel not just know it BUT LIVE IT!!!!!

 

But Mumma, I love the mission. The island has its temptations but I'm stronger than that... I am called of God to represent Jesus Christ. Don't worry about me, I got this!!!

 


Also, I forgot to tell you earlier BUT we sister missionaries have been approved to wear pants... HEKTIK TRUE??? It’s ‘cos of all the deadly mosquito diseases going on and so the First Presidency has approved it... #YEAHHHHBOYYYYY... and so as we speak … Sister Alden is making me and Sister Scott's... She's the bomb dot com!!! I love the Alden's...

 

Hmm, what else? Well we are throwing fire over here... DOING WORK #gettingitdone... Also we are celebrating America Day today... so exciting... HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY AMERICA!!!!

 

Well Mumma, I love you... Kiss my Daddy for me. Tell my sisters I say hey and I miss them... Hug my brothers for me and kiss my 7 wonders.... I LOVE YOU MUMMA MORE THAN YOU KNOW!!!!!!!! Don't worry too much about me, I'm working and working hard... work work work work work work work hahaha! I LOVE YOU!!.... Until next week!

Days turn to weeks and the weeks feel like days


Sorry not alotta time today but know that I love you...
 
Yesterday we had a baptism and it was scary cos we dont have a font so we use the diving pools across the road. The kid jumps in first and starts drowning and then Elder Cujil jumps in and cant swim so then he starts drowning too and so another elder and a sister from the branch jump in to save them. It was so scary but everything worked out fine. So it was okay...







The island is hektik!!! Im so blessed to be here.
Sister Scott was my MTC companion and we're so excited to be here!! We are going to finish with a baaang!! I love you Mumma!!!

Don't miss me too much, I have an IMPORTANT work to do!!!

The Island - 21.06.2016




Aloha...Jokes. What up!? Weh di guan?! G'day mate! 

 

So emergency transfers isn't that bad. The island is BEAUTIFUL!

The people are just as great and the senior couple here The Alden's make the island wonderful. So we have been here all of 5 days and it's amazing!

The elders have been helping us out heaps cos we know nothing about this place. But cos it's an island (like Samoa) it's not that hard.


It's great being with Scott again cos we started together and we'll finish together #startedFromtheBottomNowWeHere.... Lol! We are happy we're together cos we just wanna work hard!!! But sad at the same time cos we know it will go fast :( 12 weeks too fast...


But I know I'll be ready when it comes. Fun fact: sister Alden's first love was Sam Atoa from Samoa. They were too be married but then President David O. Mckay said no... That's another story though. She's awesome though. I love them! She sings all the Samoan oldies. So... its a little overwhelming

BUT I am so ready and its great when your companion is also willing. We're ready to throw FAYAAAAAA!!! (fire) hahaha. But I love you guys. I hope all is well down unda!!! 12 weeks... 86 DAYS TO SAVE SOULS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

All my loving,

 

Sister Loli

Don't miss me too much I have work to do xx

LA ISLA BONITA - 14 JUNE 2016


Just got a call, I am going to the ISLA BONITA! #EmergencyTransfers...



So crazy, two more changes and thats it. Ugh! But yeah, I don't get to kill Alcantara :( I am sad!





This week was goodbye to the Hintze's.. so depressing! But I know that our new President will be just as great... I love the Hintze's though. Ugh! So hard!


Elder Osiek summed it up well, "But also this week we had our last multizone with our mission president and his wife, really bittersweet. We learned lots from them, and we will forever be grateful for them and their counsel and guidance". 


But yeah.. so I am out! I am going to the island with my MTC companion Sister Scott. Crazy but yeah... But I am going to miss Santa Elena.


So depressing! Ahh! Yeah crazy crazy crazy! I love you guys... just wanted to fill yous in. I love you all! Pics pics pics!!!
