This past week we had transfers! I stayed in the SB YSA ward, but I was moved to the other area and got a new companion! I am the senior comp and it is #stressful! My companion is Sister Taupa'ū, she is from Samoa and I love her! 

We whitewashed the area and we are so excited to hit the ground running. We are teaching a whole bunch of people but many of them aren't actively progressing and we will need to stop teaching them and find new people who are ready to put in a little effort!

I was struggling a little this week to be consistently happy because I was so stressed, and I wasn't focusing on keeping up my personal conversion or my spiritual growth! As we were knocking on a complex this week, it was just about time to head to a lesson we had scheduled when I had a prompting to knock on one final door. We knocked and a man answered. He then proceeded to go off about how our church is a conspiracy and is racist and all of this stuff. He told us he had done his research on the church and was not interested.

I bore my testimony that Christ is the center of our belief and the head of the church, that the Book of Mormon is true, and that God loves all his children. Then we left. I was taken aback at first wondering why Heavenly Father would prompt me to knock on his door. He was so unwilling to listen to anything we had to say and was very rude. It hadn't been the best day and that contact had been the cherry on top. 

In my prayers that night I asked heavenly father why. Many of the thoughts and feelings I had during the contact came rushing back. Answers to his question he was just unwilling to listen to and my feeling of conviction in what I know to be true! I realized that Heavenly F




ather used this experience to remind me of my purpose and testimony. He knew I needed a reminder of my own conviction! He works in ways we never expect and it amazes me!

I hope you all can look for the ways God speaks to you in your life. They may not always be what you expect but his hand is in all our lives all we need to do is recognize it and trust it!
