the boys are back in town

This week has been a ride. I can't sleep at all and have had a killer headache for 3 days so keep me in yo prayers plz (also if anyone has any sleeping tips? I've tried exercising and meditating a lot but I guess I'm overstressed idk lol help) why is life so hard?

We were real stressed out this week and our zone leaders left ben & jerrys and a pizza on our front door. #bless then we got transfer calls and Hermana Corona went back to Boise and Hermana Sundstrom and I will be here in Twin Falls (for our 4th transfer together!). We knew it was too good to be tru (you can't have a brown companion for more than 2 transfers I guess) and it was one of the saddest goodbyes I've ever had to say. 

Me and Hermana Sundstrom have been finding some new people in Twin Falls, we're ready to kick her last transfer in the crap. We got locked out of our apartment on our first night together so we went and spent the night with some sisters and I keep saying that I miss camping so I guess blessing in disguise? We got to sleep on couches and eat some goob french toast in the morning though so the Lord is looking out for us. 

I've been struggling with figuring out why I'd still be in Twin Falls and what I need to do here. We found this cool guy named Fernando who came to all 3 hours of Church yesterday and I'm excited to do missionary work a lil different and find out what I can do better. I read this quote from a book that my Aunty sent me and I can't remember who said it, but this is it -

"The thing that is really hard and really amazing is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself." 

I talk about this all the time, but this week I was reminded that I'm a missionary and I'm me. You don't give up yourself to  become a stronger disciple of Christ - you add to who you are and you make a better you. And for some reason, someone in Twin Falls needs crazy Hanatea to knock on their door and talk to them about good stuff? Lol. Finding reason and finding purpose, one day at a time. I love this work - even through the headaches (send some mexicoke) and tired eyes and heartache and tears, we go through these small trials and the Lord knows what it's like and how we're feeling. 

Hope everyone's week is full of good grindz. Love you all friends stay hapy go eat some froze yogurt k byyyyeyeyeyeyeyeye
