Mother's Day 2018!!

We had the best visit on May 13, 2018, Mother's Day!!

We are so PROUD of this boy!!!!

MOMMA!!!!

Happy Mothers Day to YOU!!!

So just a quick email, I'm going to be transfered from Oakland to Pittsburg after having spent 3 transfferrs here as a zone leader. Now I am back to being a normal missionary which is pretty great haha. My new comps name is Elder Vainuku and I've never met him but I hear he is a pretty cool guy. Perks about the new apartment, 2 bathrooms and a washer and dryer in the apartment!!! so great! My time has been good here in Oakland, I wouldn't say we were recieved so warmly by all of the members here but there were a choice few families that I grew to love. With a lack of support from the ward in the missionary work Elder Ballard and I worked really hard to find teach and baptize. I got to meet and teach many really wonderful people here that I won't ever forget. I am so grateful for the oportunity that I have to share my testimony with others on the restored gospel. I have seen the difference it makes in the lives of others and I know the power this new knowledge has. If anyone reading this has any doubts about the church I invite you to look at the results that comes from someone or some family that is actively practicing the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, it doesn't mean they are perfect but it will mean they are happy. And that's what our Heavenly Father wants for us, to be happy here in this life and prepared for a life with him. I love you all and I still have a while in the mission but I'll see you soonish!

We went to the visitors center after a meeting on Sunday night to snap some pics

Basic white girl, good morning... Still enjoying the gift card!

We did service this week at this Greek Orthodox place that is next door neighbors with the temple, we helped move a bunch of desks and stuff from the kindergarten classes upstairs because they are having a festival.   ...Brig made the same face in every pic 😮
