Sister Sughroue : Week #15 - October 8th, 2017

Dinner at a FLASH as house on the Waikato River

KIA ORA!!

This week was so amazing!! And conference was so good!!!!!!!!!! Everyone needs to watch it! So this weekend we had a lesson with my favorite family ever. I love everyone we teach but this family is truly so special to me. we went to their house for a lesson after a dinner appointment we just had, and they surprised us with dinner haha! They are so sweet! It was so yum but I honestly thought I was going to throw up.. 2 dinners in a row.. There's a record where elders had 11 dinners in a row. haha Thank goodness that hasn't happened to me. So we had dinner with them and it was so awesome!! The youngest sister is Evanne, who is 14 is getting

Waikato River

baptized this Saturday! we sang hymns and read scriptures with them it was so awesome! So Arleith who has te Akurangi, a 2-year-old, and Karadia, a 6-month baby girl, came with Evanne and her partner, who is less active, to Conference with us!! Arlieth and evanne then came out to the Visitor Centre for another lesson and Arleith ended up getting a priesthood blessing from Elder Stout, one of the senior couple missionaries here! Arleith knows the church is true and wants to be baptized but she has to take care of some relationship stuff first, she is the strongest person I have ever met.. she is the one that holds her little family together and she told us that after every lesson we have, everything makes sense and that lesson applies to her life that week! She isn't even a member of the church yet but she is LIVING the gospel. Heavenly Father has truly prepared her and her little

sister Evanne to accept the gospel at this time in their lives. They have such a special light about them and it is the LIGHT of CHRIST. Oh my goodness, I LOVE being a missionary so much and can't even explain how much this gospel means to me. It's perfect and when we actually LIVE the gospel we will truly find so much HAPPINESS and LOVE in our lives! I love you all so much! Apply what you learned from General Conference, remember there is a difference in knowledge and wisdom. LOVE YOU HEAPS!
