Week 2!!

Merry Christmas Eve in NZ!!


My fire week
Ok so Thursday I took my family name to the temple which was such a slay, then we got to go see Christmas lights down at the Hamilton temple!!! We were out till almost midnight which is crazy late for missionary life, so the next day half our zone was sick, including my comp but she's doing so much better now! Our teachers started making us stand up and dance because everyone keeps falling asleep in class, but it's honestly my favorite part of the day, and then we got to listen to the provo mtc devo, which was so amazing and yeah that's it!

On Sundays our mtc pres likes to randomly pick speakers DURING sacrament, only a 2-3 min talk but still so scary, anyways this Sunday he gave the promt of sharing our thoughts on the Christmas lights and how Christ is the light of the world, he then said we will be hearing the thoughts of ... Sister Ashton. Guys my heart sank. I looked up at him and he goes uh oh shes giving me the look, im in touble.
But he always reminds us "Talks are not burdens, they're blessings", so looks like I'll be extra blessed this week.
   Anyways I got up and shared how much joy I felt walking up the lit up path of lights all the way to the temple doors, and how the lit up temple is like Christ illuminating our end goal, as we follow his path, his light will shine so brightly in our lives! He is the light of the world AND our world, strive to be like him in every aspect in your life, so maybe you can be a light in someone else's!! 

Fave scripture of the week 
(Oops I couldn't pick)

John 14:27
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

2 Nephi 31:3
"For my soul delighteth in plainness; for after this manner doth the Lord God work among the children of men. For the Lord God giveth light unto the understanding; for he speaketh unto men according to their language, unto their understanding."

He knows you personally 
He loves you 
He died for YOU!

ONE MONTH DOWN  every time my Bishop sees me he says KIA ORA CUZ ... we're 11th cousins once removed Rundown of my week Hey slayers! We made it out of the MTC! And this week has been crazy, I met my mission mom and she's the best, we  love sister Rentschler, we are in South Auckland right on the boarder of the Auckland mish, which is wild, and we're  PINK WASHING, which means we're both new to the area and we're the first sisters in over a year. The members are  very greatful!.. We've been deep cleaning our flat thanks to the elders there before us   and just meeting with a ton of ward members,  they're actually all so fun and nice, we do alot of biking and walking cause we have NO miles, but it's good for us, I'm  not depressed yet so I think that's a really good start!! people say "cool as" or "big as" and say nothing after the as, It always catches me off guard but I think it's my favorite  thing, I can't comprehend...

Week 3 Almost out of MTC!! Rundown of my week Guys! This time next week, I will be in the field. I'm actually scared for my life. Anyways I had a really good week,  Christmas at the MTC was such a blessing, so spiritual and so fun. We had to memorize the First vision ( pic below)  so I drew it out for my class. Not too much has happened, just a TON of teaching practice, and so many fire devotionals.  I have gotten so close to everyone here, getting to hear everyone's testimony and seeing kids my age be such amazing  examples has truly changed my life. Everyone here is so cool, it'll Def be a hard goodbye but I'm SO ready to leave!! Sprinkle of jesus -  This is a long one oops OK I was studying mosiah this week, I've always known prophets were important, but it wasn't until recently I realized  just how important they are! They literally recieve DIRECT revelation from GOD and tell us exactly what we need to  do in this life to have happiness, be success...
