"Total eclipse of the hearrrrttttttt"
Shout out to my father who taught me from a young age that there is an 80's song for any given situation. Really though, LIVE TWEET EVERYONE this cute old man just came into the library where we email with his welding helmet and said, "Sisters! Come look at the eclipse through this!". It was neat.
Lots has changed since last week, I'm now in a trio (for the fourth time on my mission). Still with Sister Gallagher in Kelowna YSA, but now covering a family ward too with Sister Davis! She's from Jamaica, which means I am the sole americana in the companionship. So I now only have one little flag in our car instead of two. Compromise. We also had to stop and take pictures with some school buses this week because, lo and behold, neither Scotland nor Jamaica has yellow school buses "like the movies" and that was just a thrilling experience for them. I was dying hahah. We were also out in Narniaaa in Vernon in the middle of nowhere that day so we stopped at Denny's for dinner and we had to take photos of that, too. Bless my sweet comps' hearts. Really though I love them and I love their accents and I love running at a million miles an hour to cover both areas! We found EIGHT new friends to teach this week which was very nearly mind-blowing. Heavenly Father has got our backs, and apparently really wants His other children to hear what we have to say <3
Also, speaking of accents, every morning when we read from the white handbook during companionship study I of course take the opportunity to practice my British accent with Sister Gallagher there to correct me. At the beginning of the transfer it was alarmingly Australian, but this week Sister G looked at me and said "YOU SOUND LIKE THE QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!"
Started from the bottom now we here, my friends. God save the Queen.
ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HERMANA WOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDD my favourite roommate of all time. Thanks for filming me sleep talking and such all of freshman year. Que tenga muy buena semana <3
Okay now this is the most important thing I have to say to all you people whom I love:
Heavenly Father made you, and He wants you to be happy. Every piece of every experience you're walking through are in order for you to be happy. Now and always. Obedience and happiness are not mutually exclusive, a God who loves us would never ask us to make that choice. We got to church, we get on our knees, we read the scriptures, because we want to be near to Him. We want to know Him, because we are His daughters and sons. I love my Heavenly Father, I love my Saviour. Happiness is not conditional on circumstances, or even on understanding.
Que tengan feliz dia!

PICS:
1. Shoutout to Soeur Laken Quigley <3
2. ELLEN has my heart. Her mother was murdered when she was twelve, and Ellen has wanted nothing more than to take her mom's name to the temple (like 5 hours away) so that her mom can receive the same blessings she has by being baptized. Finally got all the paperwork and such figured out, never seen her happier!
3. Found the Ogopogo.
