Love At Home - Aaliyah Rose & Jr. Maile

 "There is Beauty all around"

Shout out Beckstrand Fam FHE's for this song! Still a banger!

Wassup yall! First off want to apologise for not writing an email last week... I forgot. Anyways, the last 2 weeks have been really eventful and really testimony building weeks.

2 weeks ago was Zone Conference week. So for P-Day we went to SM and played in the arcade for like 5 hours straight. We also picked up Elder Hess my MTC DistrictMate and his companion because they stayed at our house. It was nice to catch up with Elder Hess.

Zone Conference was dope! This Zone Confrence was a lot different from the ones we've had. To start off Zone Confrence President Scholl bore his testimony. Something I love to do when listening/reading General Conference talks is really listen to the Holy Ghost as the General Authority bare their testimonies. Something hits different when a testimony is borne, so when my Mission Pres shared his it filled the room with the spirit.





This Zone Con was mainly about Consecration and Consecrating ourselves to the work. 

Sister Scholl's always has something impactful for Zone Con. Using "rocks" to symbolize our sins, She shared how we often carry these burdens, sometimes adding more to our bag and other times putting them down, only to pick them up again. Sister Scholl emphasized the importance of supporting each other in releasing these burdens, rather than adding to them. She invited us to help one another lay down our rocks and leave them there, instead of picking them up and adding them to others.

Last Saturday and Sunday we were having problems setting a time for a baptism with the Bishopric in our sisters area in our District. We ended up just deciding that the missionaries would do the baptism.

 I got the opportunity to Comfrim them. It was a surreal experience for me. The Preisthood is so amazing. To be able to give someone such a gift as the Holy Ghost will be something I won't forget.


P-Day we went to the beach as a District. It was dope, played volleyball and basketball. Elder Alalan cut open his foot tho so work was kinda slower this week lol.

This week was lowkey buns. We started off really slow this week with like 5 teachings a day because Elder Alalan stuggled to walk and it was just slow. Friday and Saturday though were a lot better with a lot more teachings. So Grateful that I'm able to help all these wonderful people out with the joyest Gospel I live everyday.


Love yall! Have a great week!

Time Travel to the Philippines

 He made it!  I can't wait until Sunday night to hear how it really went and all the adventures it took to get them all there.  But, this much I know...They left around 11:30 on a bus to the Trax Station where they got on in Provo and went straight up to the airport.  Sophie jumped on in Lehi and travelled with them all.  She took him some Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies.  They got up to airport, checked in their luggage, and went through security without any problems that I know of.  They had until 6pm to eat and play some games.  I sent a mini Bop-It, Simon and some UNO Cards for them to play while they waited.  They all got on without any problems and flew to LAX.  This is where it all gets sketchy... Apparently, we all forgot to tell them that they just needed to go straight to their new gate, because they somehow went out, maybe got lost, maybe thought they had to pick up their luggage?  I do not know. However, they ended up hav...

  Kamusta po everyone! Yeah so sorry for not emailing last week kinda caught up with everything here at the mtc but im chilling now. Anyways, I'll try to catch you all up to speed. Home MTC Home mtc was a blessing. I loved getting to know my Companion and my district over zoom before in person because I am mad awkward. My Companion is Elder Grow, He is from Morgan Utah, he plays soccer and is such a dope dude. My district is so cool I will probably talk about them a lot in the following weeks. But home mtc was nice the first day was such a spiritual high it was amazing. That next week was cool. There were definitely some ups and downs but having the constant companion of the holy ghost is such a surreal feeling and is something I hope stays with me for the rest of my life. Not much really happened during this week, it was really just to get to know my district. Provo MTC 1st week! Getting dropped off at the MTC was a lot more emotional than I thought it was going to ...

  Hello po! What's up y'all. Hope you all are doing well! The MTC has been such a fun experience thus far. This last week was definitely a rollercoaster but it was all good. So Tuesday night we had our Big Devotional we have every Tuesday. This week's Devotion was amazing, Brian K. Taylor from the Quorum of the Seventy came and talked to us. His messages were truly amazing. He shared a quote from President Ezra Taft Benson: "If you have the Spirit (Holy Ghost) in your life, you will achieve your righteous desires. And if you don't you won't!" I just thought that this quote was truly amazing and so simple that I would share. We have another Devotional Tonight and we are all super excited because this weekend is General Conference so we have a hunch that it might be one of the 12 tonight since they should all be in town!!   Wednesday was a long day. We had a service project in the morning. It was mad chill. Me and my comp Elder Grow skipped breakfast bec...
