Just another Beautifully Random Week :)

FAMILY!! :)

This week has been... so amazing. I love my companion Sister Mount so much! She is seriously and angel. And we have seen so many miracles... Serving online has become a goldmine of crazy experiences, I could happily serve here for the rest of my mission, to be honest. Amidst the crazies, it has been such a blessing to be a part of helping others learn more about the church and answer their doubts and fears and helping them develop their own personal relationship with God and our Savior. What a blessing. Technology is awesome!!

We also met some seriously inspiring people this week at the Visitors' Center. None that were exactly interested to learn more but they inspired me!! We met two older ladies (I'm talkin 70's) and they were telling us that they had surf lessons set for the next day. We also met a lot of truly Christlike families that were not members of our faith, but gave us good advice for raising our future families and were such amazing examples of service. Man. I love people.

In other GOOD news, I found THE ONLY available source of true Mexican Food on this side of the island! Nelly's taco truck. They are my new amigos :)

Lastly... The highlight of my week. This weekend was graduation for BYUH and we were invited to the President's Luncheon by Bishop Gary A Stevenson of the Presiding Bishopric. They are family friends of Sister Mount :) That was. So amazing. He and his wife are the nicest people I have ever met. Dang, that was the fanciest meal I have ever eaten though!! I didn't know which fork to use, mom! I should have paid more attention growing up! hahaha Good news is, I had my napkin on my lap. #success

All in all, this was one of the most random weeks on my mission, but it was full of Tender mercies and I could not be more grateful to be here, serving the Lord and the people that I meet. I love this gospel. I know that it is good and true with all my heart. 

As Matt 11 says,
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

I know that when we yoke ourselves to the Savior, that is when our burdens can become light. It is when we lose ourselves in His service, and leave behind the things that don't matter, that we can realize who we are, and with His help who we can become. 

I love you all! Pay for someone's lunch today :)

Love Sister Willardson <3
