THE ONE WHO FELL DOWN THE STAIRS - 02/10/2020

My favorite Tahitian!!

WELL HELLLLO!!! Hahahaha SO do I have a funny story for all of you! You see, we were at a members house for a tea appointment and it was so funny because we finished and I had to use the toilet at the end of it so I went up and used it then I was walking down the stairs or in other words I SLID DOWN THE STAIRS HAHAHA classic Sister Farnworth, love it!! BUT I had to own my fall so I just yelled "OH NO I just fell" and then started laughing really hard and the members were laughing and it was just a good time but now my arm is bruised so that is exciting, we love that!! Hahaha but it was good fun and a memory I will never forget!!!

I MADE FRIED RICE, YUM!!

BUT this week was pretty good!! We had exchanges which was SO FUN!! AHH I love exchanges so much!! AHH we were able to meet with one of their friends and she said she wanted to be baptized so we picked a day and we are so excited for her!!! AHH so good!! Then we had the greatest companionship inventory, we just talked about how important the Saviour is in all of this and we talked about how amazing this work is and I LOOOVED it!!

WELL now let's get real everyone, this week was a hard week hahaha and sister farnworth is learning A LOT but if we are being real I am so grateful because there have been SOOO many moments that I have realized what I am learning is going to help me so much in the future and I AM HAPPY. I was reading a talk called "Lift Up Your Head and Rejoice" and there was a line in it that says...

"We can and should find joy when we face hard things."

one tired farnworth

AND I LOOOOVE IT SO MUCH. AHHHH I have thought about that often and yanno missions are AMAZING and I love mine with my whole heart but they also push you and try you so you can learn and grow (kind of like life hehe) BUT I know we all find joy when we face the hard, no matter what!! AHHH and what is even greater is it is possible because of our Saviour. IT'S JUST TOOOO GOOD YANNO I LOVE IT. SO yes I just want y'all to look for the good and the joy in everything you do because I PROMISE it is there okay? okay!!!! HAVE THE BEST WEEK.

LOVE YOU ALWAYS,
sister farnworth
