I am Queen Wheat-ling

 Man oh man what a WEEK! I am going to be 100% honest right now when I say that I genuinely love the MTC. Others may beg to differ but everyday is so fun and it probably helps that I've been here for like 2 seconds and I leave in a WEEK! (from tomorrow) Yes that is correct I have received my travel plans and I'll be leaving next Tuesday (the 11th) to Cape Verde!! I feel very blessed that I got my visa and I'm able to go straight there because my whole district got their reassignments today so they won't be going to Portugal for a little while. S/o Cape Verde for being chill like that.

You may be wondering, whaaaaatttt she's a queen??? Wheat-ling???? Me and the girl's in my district have finally stopped going to bed at 10:15 because we remembered that we brought cards so now every night (the past 2 nights) we have played very intense games of monkey bridge and the sister that wins is then deemed as the queen the next day. Unfortunately I did not win the first night because I lost by one point but I made up for it by winning by about 20 points last night bless up so my name got put onto the beautiful paper crown YAY. Also for legal reasons this whole last paragraph is hypothetical, no card games allowed!

Quick commercial break right here I just wanted to take a second and say how big of a difference not having social media has been in my life. I feel like I actually use my phone as a tool now instead of checking it whenever I'm bored and I feel so present all the time. Fomo doesn't exist if you don't know what everyone else is doing 24/7😎. Anyway I just challenge you all to try and take a break from your phone/social media for a day or maybe even a week or something cause it's fun to just live your life and realize that you don't have to share everything in order to feel like what you're doing is meaningful. That's all!

I had some high expectations for watching General Conference as a missionary, especially while being surrounded by other missionaries and it definitely lived up to it. I felt the spirit stronger than I ever have while watching general conference. I couldn't stop crying after the Sunday afternoon session it was just so powerful especially after President Nelson spoke. I love him. If you didn't get the chance to watch general conference pleeeeasaassssse go to gospel library and watch it I promise you it will give you the guidance and answers you need in your life!!

I am so happy to be a missionary. I have never felt closer to my Savior and it's not because I'm trapped here with all these missionaries it's because I've been given the opportunity and time to really learn about Jesus Christ and who He is. You don't have to go on a mission to develop a relationship with Christ or to feel God's love. You just have to put in the effort to look for that love and to learn about who they really are. This gospel is the only way to have pure joy and I know that to be true! I'm so excited to keep learning and growing! 

I'm not even lying I usually have hymns stuck in my head but when I didn't here were the songs that were stuck in my head this week. Yes I write them down.

- "The Weekend" SZA

- "I Miss You" (Maybe "Miss you"?) Hannah Montana

- "Oops I Did It Again" Britney Spears

- "Because of You" Kelly Clarkson

- "Total Eclipse of the Heart" Idk the artist sorry maybe bonnie something 

- "Photo ID" Remi Wolfe and Dominic Fike

- "Talk Too Much" COIN

- "Burnin Up" Jonas Brothers

- "Lost Souls (clean version)" Baby Keem & Brent Faiyaz

- "Honest (clean version)" Baby Keem

- Idek what the song is called but it's that "candle in the window" song from Home Alone

- "Just Give Me a Reason" Pink (this one is slightly embarrassing)

- "When Christmas Comes to Town (comes around?)" Idk just that song from The Polar Express

I love you all! Bye! 

S/o to my companion Sister Ikeomu for literally being the funniest person on the planet and for making this sick handshake w me. Don't know how I got blessed with the literal best companion ever
