A mission is better than melatonin…
Hey everyone!
It's been another awesome week! We are SUPER busy but I am sleeping the best I have ever slept in my life. As soon as my head hits the pillow I'm am out. Usually I toss and turn for like an hour, but not anymore!
We found a couple people who want to learn more this week which was awesome, and one of the people we are working with, we set a date for! She is getting baptized August 21st!! It's so awesome! A lot of our time is spent talking to inactive members. It seems like half the city of Burbank is baptized, but only 5% are still active. So we are working with a lot of returning members which is super cool. We were doing service for one lady and her massive pit bull got out and bit my leg, so that was epic. I have a big yellow and purple bruise on my leg now. Don't worry though we got a saw and amputated my leg before the rabies spread to the rest of me.

I have definitely seen how this works because we have seen so many miracles this week. I have been able to remember scriptures or phrases I wouldn't have been able to on my own. Even just having more courage talking to random people. I still don't like it, but I am getting more used to it and better at it too. Knocking on peoples doors and talking to them is basically my worst nightmare haha. But I know that with help from Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ I can do it. It isn't easy and won't be easy but with their help I can do it. I have already had so many cool experiences that have helped me learn that.
We went on a hike this morning as a zone for pday and it was really pretty. But other then the hike I didn't really take any pictures this week so I took pictures of me in the apartment doing my favorite missionary activities so y'all know what I look like as I do them
