♡ In case you haven't heard yet sister missionaries all over the world are now allowed to wear dress pants A.K.A. slacks. My instant reaction was, "Cool but no thanks." THEN the mission told us we all got a budget to go and buy slacks. And if someone is going to give me money and tell me to go shopping, even if it's for slacks you BETTER believe I will take that offer. (I love clothes and I'm SO SICK of my missionary clothes.) So I got the slacks.
♡ Went to my happy place (Banana Republic) and realized cute clothes still exist. Got some slacks there and here is evidence that slacks can be cute. (Hermana Takahashi was supposed to take a picture of me and this was the best one she got. Haha!)
♡ Found out I still have legs.
♡ The slacks were originally $80 but were on sale so I got them for $25. (It was a tender mercy (': )
♡ Okay, I'm done talking about slacks.
♡ Hermano Juan de Dios who we have been teaching for SEVEN MONTHS finally set a baptismal date and we are so pumped!!!
♡ This Saturday we are getting the transfer board and it's the last time my face will be on a transfer board and I've cried about that 3 times this week. WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN MY LAST TRANSFER??? Ok, I already know cause President told me at interviews but I can't tell you guys till it's on the transfer board so stay tuned to next week. :p

♡ Went on exchanges with the cutie Hermana Young. I love exchanges and getting to meet such unique and special sisters. They all do missionary work in a different way with their different gifts and strengths. I'm so grateful to know them all and get to serve with them. I learn so much as an S.T.L.
♡ TODAY IS TAGGART STEPHEN INOUYE'S BIRTHDAY AND HE'S MY FAVORITE HUMAN IN THE WORLD (Sorry David Archuleta) AND WE ARE SO BLESSED TO BE ON THE SAME EARTH AS HIM.
♡ We were snowed in all day yesterday. It started Saturday around 2PM and didn't stop until sometime last night around midnight. Church was cancelled so it was a sad day. We tried to be as productive as possible having to stay in all day by texting, calling and sending videos. We saw blessings from it! Now today we are stuck in our apartment again cause of the ice out on the roads. Sad day.
♡ In a lesson this week a person asked what we think of the Pope (btw we think he's a GREAT guy). Hermana Takahashi meant to say "Papa Francisco es un buen hombre." [Pope Francis is a good man] but instead she accidentally said "Papa Frita es un buen hombre." [French Fry is a good man] The person we were teaching got a good kick out of that.
We studied the new "Come Follow Me" manual with a family we are teaching. Pause, I hope you are ALL reading that with your families and personally cause if not you're all missing out on HUGE blessings and a ton of knowledge. Back to the story... After everyone in the family spoke the mom got emotional. She talked about how she had gone to so many churches throughout her life and still she felt like she knew nothing about the Bible or God. She shared that having come to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints she has learned so much and feels like she personally does know God and has a relationship with Him. She feels like now she knows the Bible and the Book of Mormon. She shared how she also couldn't find a place her children could enjoy and now 2 of them are baptized and love the gospel!
This is exactly what our purpose is, we help others become spiritually independent. So they have life the gospel, have a relationship with God and continue to learn and grow after we teach. Like her I also have gone to many churches but have learned sacred truths and come closer to God in the restored gospel. I know this is His church, I see it change lives every day as it changes mine. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
