WEEK 20 - Elkhorn, Las Vegas, Nevada

 Hello hello not a very eventful week, pretty slow but it is what it is. Let's just get into ittt

☆HIGHLIGHTS☆

• Service for 3 days let's gooooo!!! Our whole zone helped some members move. It was very fun 

• Teshane (recent convert) showed us his bike and told us allll about it  he LOVES it lol

• At one member meal they had a parrot named Chili it was soo big and pretty  

• Yesterday we chatted with Teshane, then we went to have a lesson with someone but that ended up not happening so we went back to the apartments where Teshane lives to do some more knocking and we ran into him and started chatting again 

☆LOWLIGHTS☆

• It's so slow up here ahhh everyone is either a member already or not interested and there's NO ONE outside 

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT

★ I know we are blessed in so many ways that we don't even realize. It is SO easy to just let our days pass by and not see anything particularly significant or different. But I know that if we try to LOOK for the blessings and the tender mercies, we will start to have a better perspective on life and be able to see how we are blessed and see the little joys throughout our days. 

★ This is something that I definitely want to try more and I invite you to really try to look for the little things in life that bring you joy or that are little tender mercies or miracles.

     ★ It could be a pretty sunset seeing a butterfly seeing a friend plans lining up etc etc etc idk... doesn't have to be anything big

★ And one step even further! I invite you to say a little gratitude prayer when you see these little tender mercies. I know this will help you to see it even more

I love you all!️

have a good week 

Teshane (recent convert) showed us his bike and

Sister Smithhart!!! She's so fun and cute I'm already having so much fun 

☆HIGHLIGHTS☆

A little bit about my new area: 

• THERE IS A TARGET IN MY AREA!!! (We went today YAY I've missed it )

• Its is quite a switch up from Montebello WOW! It is a much much bigger area, lots of other stores and such. To paint the picture a little, instead of cats everywhere I see horses and bunnies, and instead of trailer parks it's gated communities. The members are all SO SO SO sweet and nice.

• My new apartment is so nice whaaatt I have my own closet and bathroom 

• So many member meals like basically every day! Don't need to buy so much food anymore 

Other highlights from this week:

• One of the members is brothers with the singer of Imagine Dragons lol so that's cool

• My district seems pretty fun so far! I've got more sisters this time not just elders haha 

• Shoutout brothers Owen and Ethan it was both their birthdays this week

• Seen some peacocks!  I used to hear them all the time in Montebello but never saw them. Also didn't know they went in trees

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT

Alma 26:37

"Now my brethren, we see that God is mindful of every people, whatsoever land they may be in; yea, he numbereth his people, and his bowels of mercy are over all the earth. Now this is my joy, and my great thanksgiving; yea, and I will give thanks unto my God forever. Amen."

♡♡♡ God loves ALL of His children, including YOU! He is mindful of you and knows you, no matter what stage of life you're at or whatever you're going through. He understands and is always there! ♡♡♡

I love you all!️
