TODAY, JUNIOR (adam sandler)

One of my fave things happened this week and I got to go on an exchange w/ Sister Hansen and have some bomb chill like lucky charms times and eat all of Sister Amani's grindz lol but she took me to Hollister and Filer and I love these tiny towns out here in the middle of nowhere. We met lots of good dogs and lots of good people and it felt pretty normal for a day which is rare out here. 

This week Sister Hansen said, "Be the kind of person who makes things happen!" Because there's people that watch things happen, people that wait for things to happen, people that hope for things to happen (or something li'dat) and people that make things happen. I love that. Cuz we're here to DO things and get things done (mark it on the board!) and that day was also a great reminder of while we make things happen, we here to love people and to be their friends. Sometimes I think missionaries need to slow down and remember that everyone's got their own issues and we here to be food/family/&friends (foodland!) with them. The gospel is simple. 

We met this super cool lady named Maria this week who wants to come to Church and have some change in her life because she just got separated from her husband and wants to raise her kids in a happier place. Keep her in your prayers this week if you be prayin'!

Love you fam! Email me if you need anything! Someone go eat some sushi for me and listen to Beck's new album pllzzzzzz! Keep juicing + being happy! If you not happy, find a way to be! Play some good jams and listen to the ocean! 

PS here's a pic of the oldest working elementary school in the US in Hollister lol. coolest thing yet in Idaho <3

Lots & lots & lots & mountains of love,
