CRAZIES IN NAPIER - 15 June 2026

Hey whฤnau! Pretty chill week this week! Me and my comp are still kinda just trying to get to know the area which is kinda boring and we lowk like don’t have any friends we're teaching so it’s felt slow ๐Ÿ™ƒ but hopefully we find some keen people soon! One thing about this area is that it’s literally aged. Everyone here is elderly. ๐Ÿ‘ต๐Ÿ‘ต But honestly if I were old and retired, I'd live in Napier. It’s beautiful here! I love driving and seeing all the farm land around with TONS of sheep ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ and also being so close to the beach ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

We had zone conference this week!!! It was President and Sister Clark’s last zone conference with us before we get our new president ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’” actually so depressed I am going to miss them so much. I had my last interview with president and he was making me teary eyed ๐Ÿฅฒ he’s the best. We sang a song for them as a zone and it was so presh! I honestly think it was my favorite zone conference by far! Everything that was shared was SO good! Our zone is also so goated and it makes it so fun! We get to have another zone conference this transfer when the new president comes in so I'm so stoked!

I finished the Book of Mormon again for the 2nd time!!! It’s genuinely the best book ever! I can’t begin to explain the beauty and the joy that comes from it! We met this guy who is a devoted catholic and we talked with him for prolly over an hour about our church and what we believe and we were just going back and forth. It was super respectful and out of genuine interest but me and my comp would just continue to testify of the Book of Mormon and the power it has in our lives. We ended up giving him a Book of Mormon and he said he'd read it with interest! I hope that he really does and that it touches his heart. Our conversation really strengthened my own testimony of our church. I’m so grateful for the restoration of our church and the priesthood keys that give meaning to everything we do!

Some exciting things in napier this week:

-had a lesson w a girl who got an eyebrow transplant? 
-another one who said she couldn't leave her house?...she’s on parole and has an ankle monitor ๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿ˜น
-cleaned this lady's house cause they are moving soon...it was THE MOST NASTY EVER. I genuinely felt sick after. We cleaned the kitchen and the bathroom...๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคฎ

I love meeting crazy people it’s hilarious ๐Ÿ˜‚ 

I was reminded of a talk that I love at zone conference from Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf called "Our Heartfelt All" and it’s so good everyone needs to go read! But he talks a lot about sacrifice and consecration! I love when he says "It requires letting some things go and letting other things grow."  Following the law of sacrifice isnt just giving something up. Everyone sacrifices things in their lives but we have to have a purpose behind it. It should be a sacrifice that grows us closer to Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. As a missionary, we sacrifice our lives back home to be a missionary and to not only help others grow in their testimony, but to grow our own understanding and testimony! ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฉท

Anyways love y’all have a great week ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿค™

Kia Ora from NZ!!!!!!๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ Hey guys wow I’m in New Zealand!! Crazy to think I’m literally on the other side of the world right now. It's only been a few days since I've gotten here but it feels like I've been here forever cause so much has happened so I'll just tell yall everything. I left last Wednesday and it was the longest flight of my life. I really tried to sleep most of it but it was so hard to get comfy. But we met up with some missionaries in LA and I was sat with some sisters on the flight so luckily I wasn't alone. But after the longggggg flight we time traveled to  Friday morning  and we got right going. I was so surprised with how quick they jumped into things I was so exhausted. I got my tag and we just had some orientation kinda stuff and my companion is one of the sisters we flew with!!!!!!!!  Honestly the first day was SO OVERWHELMING and all I was thinking was that I wanted to be home. It's been hard. Held back tears all day lol. We had a me...

HOLY PRISON ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿ˜‡ - 20 January 2026

Hey y’all!!!! Another week down in the MTC! Last email was lowkey depressing I apologize but this week was great!! However I can't wait to get out in the field lol. Our MTC president said that someone called this place a holy prison. Hate to say that's exactly what this is. Literally just stuck at this place secluded from the outside world haha. Anyways here's my week! Last Tuesday (pday): talked to my family and that's really all I needed. Miss them so much. But that definitely pushed me through! We had a devotional later that night and it mentioned that destruction is hard but is what then is built after that is important. When things are hard and we have "destruction" in our life we have to remember the growth that comes from it.  Wednesday: TEMPLE DAY!!! got to do baptisms, confirmations, and initiatories and it was so great to be there wow its the best! There was an elderly guy that started talking to me and my comp while waiting and he shared a miracle t...
