Hiiii everyone!!!! This week has been real crazy. 

Imma just start off we that. Also, shout out to my girl, Sister Broschinsky!!! She about to finish her mission this week! Congrats bestie!! 
🚨 The crazy thing that is happening is that we are doing an ET! Emergency transfer!! So Malay and I are getting new comps and new areas. Not gonna lie, it has been really challenging these last few weeks. I feel like all the pressure and stress just hit all at once. Like a literal bus hit me. So, due to some personal issues for Malay, we decided that what's best for our companionship is to end it a lil bit early. She da best tho! Excited to see her become happy and strive! 🚨
3️⃣I will be in a trio now with the Hermanas!!! Such a blessing though! We have had lil tender mercies here and there with hispanic people and it all paid off because now I am going to a spanish speaking area!!! Bye bye Khmer, holaaaa Español! 3️⃣
🎀This last week we had a Sisters Conference. So all of the sisters in the mission, got together for the whole day! We had a scripture scavenger hunt, which was basically a proslighting activity, and we had to act out scriptures and take photos of places that represent those scriptures. Then we had an amazing feast at Presidents home! It is heckaaa nice!! Then Sister Brown gave us a lil training and advice for our future. One word to sum it up was, Birth. Hahaha she is a powerful woman. Like how all moms are :) 🎀
📚One thing that I learned from my studies this week is Conversion. Each day, I am converting more and more to this Gospel. Daily conversion is needed to endure to the end. When we feast upon the words of Christ, repent, partake of the sacrament, go to the temple and so much more, we are converting ourselves. Conversion doesnt stop when we are baptized. It needs to be EVERY DAY!! We will see our efforts magnified and see the blessings that will come from daily conversion. As we do this, we will be able to withstand the temptations from the adversary, hear the promptings of the spirit way clearer, and love this gospel even more. I love this gospel. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. 
I love you all so much! Oooo fun fact, did yall know the book, "The One and Only Ivan", took place in Tacoma?we went to the mall and toured around the exhibit! Issa real story! CRAAAAZY!!!! Okay, my bad for getting off topic. Ofa Lahi Atu family and friends!!! 
Also, I want to ask you all to please pray for my Papa Harvey. He is one of the greatest examples of christ-like love. So giving and so loving to all. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to wear his name on my heart, with the name of Christ right by it. I love you Pops! 🤍 
Love, Sister Alapa🌸
