Week 62: Happy Halloween!

This week was good. We went on 2 exchanges and saw tracting miracles and had fun getting to know more of the awesome Sisters we have in our mission. They are all seriously the best and I think I learn more from them every time we go on exchanges than I could ever teach them- funny how the Lord's plan works to benefit us in ways we never expect. He is literally all-knowing and wise and loving! 😁💛
He's the best.

We had a fun Halloween going to the New Plymouth trunk or treat, and dressed up as princesses (we just wore our matching dresses and put crowns on that we bought from Walmart lol..) and got lots of candy. 😁🎃

Also, a lot of pass along cards and 3 copies of the Book of Mormon were given away by a family who loves to serve people on Halloween so they buy A TON of full size candy bars and put them in bowls on a table in front of their very decorated house and talk to people as they line up down the street to get some of the "good candy". Every year they like to get the missionaries involved and see it as an opportunity to share the gospel so they put the pass along cards in the bowls with the candy in case anyone wants to take them, and disperse the Book of Mormons around the bowls of candy on the table, if anyone wants to take one of those as well. They are so awesome!

Finding ways to share the gospel fills your life with more meaning, purpose, and joy and gives you opportunities to share and grow your own testimony as well.

So, this week I invite all of you to look for a way to share the gospel that you've never thought of before. Get creative and make it fun. B/c "missionary work is easy, and fun!" 

Let me know how it goes!

Love you! 😁💛
