This week was a weird whirlwind of food and introspection, and I'm not really sure what happened, so I'm just going to use the pictures I took to narrate the week. Because honestly I don't really remember the rest. It was good though! 

This Thursday was an Elder in our District, Elder Geary's birthday, so on Monday we made him nachos and cookies to celebrate. In this picture, Elder Councill is cooking the chicken, Sister Smith is spooning on the beans, and I'm about to check the cookies. 

I just kind of left my camera on the counter for most of the day, and let other people pick it up, so photo cred goes to Elder Moh for these first two pics. Here are Elder Moh, Geary, and Provard in the back. Elder Geary came on island the same time as I did, so we've been going through training together. It's fun to have another newbie in the district.

To celebrate Elder Geary, we filled a bowl with nachos, stuck two cookies on top, and stuck a candle in the top. You can also see Sister Jones, one of our Sister Training Leaders, in the background. 

I stumbled across this scripture the other day, and it has now become the scripture of the week. I love how it correlates with 2 Nephi 9:50-51 -Come, my brethren, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters; and he that hath no money, come buy and eat; yea, come buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Wherefore, do not spend money for that which is of no worth, nor your labor for that which cannot satisfy. Hearken diligently unto me, and remember the words which I have spoken; and come unto the Holy One of Israel, and feast upon that which perisheth not, neither can be corrupted, and let your soul delight in fatness.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ truly gives us an abundance, and now that I have received that abundance, it's my job to share it with others that they may also have these blessings.

Sister Smith got ahold of my camera and decided to take a selfie while I was braiding my hair.

Over the last two weeks we taught the relief society how to make skirts. The first time we met was terrifying. There were like 10 relief society sisters yelling at eachother in Chinese (happy yelling, Chinese is just a very aggressive language sometimes), kids running in and out, and babies crying. This last week was so much better. There were only about six sisters, two children, and no babies. We got a lot of the skirts finished, and it was super fun! We actually have a really cool relief society full of lots of amazing women. I love our ward here in Daya.

Today is momentous because I have officially completed an entire transfer on island. We got transfer calls Saturday night telling us where everyone was going. Sister Smith and I knew that we'd be staying here because I still have one more transfer of training, but we were pretty sure that Elder Councill was going to be transferred. We asked him to make a final dinner for us on Sunday night, because his food is legendary. We used our dinner time on Saturday to buy food. Since we didn't have time to go somewhere else to get Saturday dinner, we all just kinda picked up random food for dinner. I had the healthiest dinner with a can of corn, yogurt, and a pancake thing with chocolate filling. Elder Councill had the unhealthiest with chocolate milk, papaya milk, and oreos. Sister Smith and Elder Moh were somewhere in the middle. It felt just like college again.

​Sorry this email's short and weird- it's been a short and weird week. Life is good though, and the gospel is true! Hope you all have an amazing week!

lots of love,
