Trio!!!

Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well!

This week was transfers! I moved to Ayutthaya, and I am now in a trio with Sister Bun and Sister Bartu! 
I LOVED Bangkok and I am so sad to leave! But I know I will be back one day. I also love my new area and hope I stay here for a while :)

This week, we had two amazing families come to our English class, which tripled the class size haha. Families are such a blessing! The energy they brought was so special, and each of them were able to feel the spirit with the support of their family members. Supporting our family members is so important! Especially in their callings and righteous desires. This includes our ward families! I believe ward families are so important, and when we support one another, we can act as missionaries by helping each other come unto Christ. 

I invite you all to look for ways to support your families and wards this week. This can even be as simple as attending activities that others worked hard to prepare.

I love you all! You inspire me to be a better missionary every day! 
Thank you for all of the birthday messages! They made me feel so so special from all the way across the world.

Keep sharing your light!

Character of Christ
This week I want to talk about my uncle Derek South. I have always looked up to him and admired the way he lives like Jesus Christ. I feel so grateful for the opportunity to grow up close to my extended family and to have close relationships with all of my aunts and uncles. Derek has always been such a good friend to me and the others in my family. His thoughts revolve around how he can help everyone in our family feel included and loved. He points his children, nieces, nephews, siblings, and parents towards Jesus Christ through his gentle example. Jesus Christ goes after the one. Every single soul is precious to Him. You are precious to Him! Thank you, Derek, for helping me understand my Savior through your efforts to be like Him. And thank you for all of the ranger rides Madi and I dragged you on!

Last Week of MTC!!!

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone is doing well! This week has been amazing!! We only have about 3 more days here, which is CRAZY, and then we're off to Thailand!! This week I've been thinking a lot about my family. Growing up, they always taught me to be the first ones to start working and the last ones to leave. I learned to always "ask for your next job" until the work was completed. Whether it is doing service projects, cleaning up ward activities, or working on the playhouse, we always strive to follow that motto.  In the Book of Mormon, the brother of Jared and his family were living in a place called Moriancumer. They had put a lot of work into building up their home there, and they were very comfortable and content. After 4 years of living there, the Lord spoke to the brother of Jared and asked him why he "remembered not to call upon the name of the Lord".   The Lord always has more work for you to do! We can't just sit in our comfortable li...

THAILAND!!

Helloooo from Thailand!! I am so sorry I don't have a lot of time today, but I will try to send a longer email next week! It's official! I got here last week, and it's been crazy but so so good! My trainer's name is Sister Skidmore and she is absolutely AMAZING! I am so so blessed to be with her, and she knows literally everything haha. I am so excited to learn from her! I am in Hua Hin and I LOVE the people here! The hardest part has been the culture shock. But I have found so much comfort in the Spirit! "for the Spirit is the same yesterday, today, and forever." - 2 Nephi 2:4 No matter where we are, the spirit and the gospel are the same for all of God's children. I have never been more grateful for this truth, but I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only way to find true peace because His Spirit is consistent and constant.  I love you all!! And I miss you! Good luck 23A! - Sister South Leaving the MTC In the Salt Lake City airport

Thank You!!

Hello everyone!!  I wanted to thank you all for the thoughtful emails you sent me this week. They completely turned my week around and helped me feel so much love and positivity. I am so incredibly blessed to have friends and family like you supporting me while I am gone. Thank you for following the promptings of the Spirit. What may have seemed like small gestures to you were huge miracles in my life. Thank you for being such amazing examples to me! I love you all!! This week has been a rollercoaster! But so so good!! I love my district more and more every day, and it is so hard to imagine being a missionary without them. I can't wait for these next 10 days together!  Probably the hardest part about being in the MTC is not having children in my life! I miss them sooooo much! Children love so freely, and they love so simply! I try hard to see the world through their eyes without all of the prejudice and judgment, but it's really difficult! Loving others is so simple, and I adm...
