She has become my best friend and we never stop laughing! I couldnt ask for a better person to be with me during the last moments of my mission!  ☆ birthday party at the Musa house!

Hallo! im back! Sorry I haven't written in over a month, my bad. For those of you who are new, welcome, this past month has been AMAZING and such a great time for learning and growth. The memories I have made in the past few months have meant EVERYTHING to me and I wouldn't change them for the world. God is so Good and I thank Him everyday for this beautiful life I get to live.  highlights ☆ I sent my cute companion søster matthews HOME! she is my other half. I love her with my whole heart and feel blessed to have been her comp. I have never cried saying bye to a companion before, but saying goodbye to søster Matthews was SO SAD! cant wait to see all the good she does #reunioninAfrica ☆ I got to spend a few days in Oslo with my 2 MTC comps, Søster Barker and Gundersen! Our past selves would be FREAKING OUT! It was the reunion that God knew I needed!  ☆ God introduced me to a new best friend! SØSTER HAYCOCK!

Whats good?!  These past two weeks have been AMAZING!!

In whatever way it is, whether that be a mission, bishop, primary teacher, nursery lea...

What's up?! Can't believe it's already been 2 weeks since I moved to Alta! These past few weeks have been such a great time for growth and reflection for me and I have been able to see God and His children in a new light. My motto this transfer is “Joy in the Journey” and I can truly say I've never felt more joy, smiled more or laughed harder than I have in the past few weeks. It's definitely been hard filling our empty days, with the days getting shorter and colder, but somehow the joy and light that I do experience, outweighs the difficult moments.  Here are some moments that have brought me JOY these past few weeks!  ☆ We moved into our new home! We are staying in an AirBnB and it is so cozy!!  ☆ We don't have a car quite yet, so we get to walk to the city sentrum everyday! It's about a 30 minute walk, and there isn't a soul in sight, which is unfortunate… BUT, me and søster matthews have had some of the best conversations ever!! Going on long walks i...

And... we made it to ALTA!!  Here are some highlights!  ☆ left a piece of my heart in Trondheim, and it definitely wasnt an easy goodbye, but I feel at peace with where I'm at right now and I know this is exactly where I need to be!  ☆ thursday I traveled all day and made it to Tromsø to meet my new companion, Sister Matthews!  ☆ we got stranded in tromsø for 2 days because we currently don't have a place to stay in Alta. we grinded it out there and worked our hardest to make it productive when we weren't in our area HAHA  ☆ Saturday we got a call from president telling us we are finally flying to Alta!! Yay! We took the tiniest 25 person plane and finally landed in our new home!  ☆ we have been living in a hotel for the past few days as we've waited for an apartment, but will be moving in tomorrow (best hotel breakfast EVER)  ☆ ive only been her...
