Yet Another Week

Kia ora!

I hope everyone's week has been good. Mine was good. this past week was temple week for our stake, so a lot of the members were/are at the temple, doing sessions before it officially closes for three years on Wednesday. Yesterday at church, people were able to go up and share their testimonies about the temple. Everyone had a lot of good experiences and testified about the great importance of family history work. It was a very good testimony meeting and made me excited to do my own family history!

Last Monday, Sister Tony and I went hiking, and it was fun... There were a lot of cows and even more cow poop, so it was a fun exercise to dodge it all. But it was good exercise and a nice view, so I had fun! I forgot my camera today, though, so I'll have to share my pictures next week.

This past week our district leader challenged us to pick a part from our mission vision to work on. I picked "Fearlessly opening our mouths to proclaim the restored gospel to all our brothers and sisters." Each day I tried to pray to do this, but I also tried my best to put forth effort. It's very hard for me to do this, but I felt like I was strengthened when I put in the effort. even just opening my mouth was enough faith exercised to show that I'm willing to do what heaven;y Father has asked. I'll keep working on it!

Not much else happened this week, but I feel that good things are to come. I hope you all have a great week!

Love,
Hailey

Another Week Gone By

Hello! This week was very busy. We had Zone Conference on Wednesday, and that was so good! President Walker always has us laughing and feeling the spirit. Our training was on recognizing and relying on the spirit and it was really good. It can be hard to just trust in God, but as we do so, we will see that He has a lot more power than we do! President also trained us on how the Book of Mormon can help bring people to know these things are true. He read with us Moroni 10:3-5 and we went though each qualification a person must have in order to receive a witness that these things are true. I never realized how much is required before Heavenly Father will give this witness to us, but really, it isn't too much that we can't handle it. And the blessing of knowing these things are true is worth anything else! We also had exchanges on Friday (Friday the Thirteenth!) and those are always good... I was with Sister Chaves and she is very knowledgeable about the gospel! i aske...

Howdy! I hope everyone's week was very good! Mine was good! Last Monday, the sisters in my zone got together and we went to the Waipu Cave. It was fun... It was actually very fun, just very dirty! It was so dark in there, and at one point I took a step forward and my foot fell into a ditch full of water. So my shoe got soaked. And then I was inching my way down a little hill, when my foot slipped and I just slid down to the bottom. My pants were just super muddy. we all had fun though and it was a nice time to get to know some of the other sisters a bit more. And then we got ice cream afterwards, so it was very nice! We got a new investigator this week! Her name is A and we already set her for baptism! she's a nice girl and she's from a part member family, so she knows quite a bit about the gospel. We were able to teach another investigator this week named R, but he lives alone, so we brought a member with us. We actually brought a young couple, the Tipenes, who a...
