SNIP SNAP SNIP SNAP
This entire week was just emotional whiplash ALL DAY EVERY DAY I'm not even exaggerating for effect
Sr Frey flew in from French Guiana and was with us for a day then flew to Barbados (she finished her mission) and that was awesome to be with her, she's the most intelligent person I've ever met, so so aware and kind and loving
Sr Monteiro flew in from Guadeloupe so she wouldn't be alone during transfers, then her new companion flew here, her names sœur Teanuanua she's from French Polynesia, and then those two flew to Guadeloupe together
So a lot of airport trips
It was so funny when it was Sœur Williams, sœur Monteiro, Sœur Teanuanua, and I because it was 2 Americans, a French gal, and a French Polynesian. So it was QUITE THE MIX I will tell you WOW.
I learned a very precious and important lesson from that experience that I will cherish for the eternities: no matter where you're from, what your life is life, etc, there's always one common ground that all women share: one direction
I recreated the board game Secret Hitler out of paper and it's is the solution to everything amongst us 6 missionaries
Broke ALL OUR KITCHENWARE. Replaced our cups! Then I was WAHSING ONe OF Them and then it SHATTERED IN MY HANDS?! Sliced threw my dress, cut my garments! (woah that sentence is like "fell down 2 flights of stairs, went through a window!")
Not too much to update on, a wack week as for usual, had a huge eye opening moment didn't change my life, but it changed me, and that's undeniably more important This vid 
it's 5 minutes only

when I was in the DR I was on a completely empty beach at near dusk and I went in the trees and like poured out my soul in prayer and then I felt the worst I've ever felt and I was like WHAT IS THIS!!! WHY DO I FEEL SO MUCH DARKNESS I FEEL AWFUL!!! and I was like panicking, I was like is God even real?! And it was quite the faith crisis. But then over time I got MANY confirmations that this church is true etc, saw many undeniable miracles. But that experience stillbalways bothered me, I was like why??? Why the freck did I feel like I was unexplainably literally in hell
But then yk what, I've been wondering about that lately. And then in the quite of one morning, I was feeling pretty low, and prayed asking about that experience and why I didn't get a "good feeling" after I prayed, and then I distinctly got the sentence in my mind: "Do you think if you had a good feeling, you would've known it was from God?"
I was like like oh. OH. I would've just been like "what a blessing, what a spiritual experience!" but I think that really would've been it. More sentences came to mind,
"Do you think for these past nine months, if it was all just highest joy, you would've known God was with you? Or would've you just felt that His "blessings" were?
Would you have drawn near unto Him, if He already felt near?"
If I'd sat in joy for 19 years, it would've been debatable that there's a God who loves me and blessed me with that joy. But being DELIVERED from sadness to joy? I'll say this, where there's a delivery, there HAS to be a Deliverer. It's like the fire verse John 17:3" and this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
It's not about blessings, it's not about the way your life plays out, it's just about positioning yourself in such a way so that you're learning Christ through your life experiences. Faith in the blesser not the blessing.
Oh yeah the subject of da email, sr Monteiro said "when I think Felt, the next thing I think is boys"and then sr teanuanua REALLY like that so she kept saying "Felt... Boys" oh man that girl gets LAUGHING then I get laughing.
