I hope you all had an amazing christmas filled with family, love, and the savior. 

My christmas was interesting. It was weird being away from home, but we had some awesome members that took care of us. I killed our car twice on christmas because I left the lights on...classic Sister Beck haha. Very thankful for the district leader who came and saved us every time!

This week has been good full of teaching. Sister Sapoi and I were sick for the last half of the week so we didn't get as much work done as we would like, but we still saw so many miracles. 

Francis, a 9 year-old boy from our Tongan ward, has committed to baptism and is set to get baptized this coming Saturday! This is such a blessing. This will be my first baptism on the mission and I know I will remember this for the rest of my life. I wish you all could meet Francis and see the light that he brings in every room. I know that he is so ready for baptism and that he truly loves this gospel, his family, and Jesus Christ. Him and his family are my favorite!!
The rest of the the work here in Manurewa is moving along and we have so much to do...I love it! 

I still don't know Tongan, but I am learning some words and phrases with sister sapoi so hopefully soon I can communicate a little bit. The tongan ward is awesome and I love them all so much. Also their singing is AMAZING!! they don't have a pianist so they sing everything accappella and it sounds so cool. I love just sitting in sacrament meeting and listening, its heavenly!

This week I have seen so many tender mercies and they have made the long and sick days so much better. I invite all of you to look for tender mercies in your life and recognize them as blessing from our Heavenly Father. Write them down and send me an email telling me about them! I promise that as you look for these blessings you will feel so much happier and grateful about life! I would love to hear from you all so send me a message and I will hopefully be able to respond today or on my next pday!

New Companion, Same Area (mom questions answered)

Sistah Uata (new companion) and Sistah Beck in Manurewa Hello everyone this has been a crazy week, but I am doing so good! I have a new companion, Sister Uata, and I am in the same area! Sister Uata is from California and she is Tongan, but she is in the Samoan program (which means she was originally assigned to labor in NZ to the folks who speak Samoan) and now she is serving in a Tongan ward. Its crazy but God works in mysterious ways. This area is amazing and we have seen so many miracles this week. The work here in Manurewa is INSANE. Guys I know I always say this, but there is so much to do. We have 2 baptisms this week and we had 8 people at church on Sunday! It was crazy. We have never had more than like 4 people before. There is always so much to do. It can be overwhelming at times, but I am so grateful.  The reason this area is doing so well is because of the members . They help us so much and are always out fellowshiping and visiting people. I love e...

Q-time....PDay at home

Well .....as most of you know I am now home because of the corona virus. I am heart broken to leave my home in NZ, that country has my heart and I will miss everything about it. I am so grateful for every experience I had and all the amazing people I was able to meet. I will cherish those relationships and memories for the rest of my life:’) I know that this is heavenly fathers plan for me, even if I can’t understand it right now. This is definitely not what I wanted to happen, but I know that this will all be for my benefit in the end. I have no idea what the future holds, but I am looking forward with faith and trust that I will be able to continue my mission else where for the time being and hopefully be able to return to New Zealand again as a missionary! God has a plan and I know everything will work out.  My friend shared with me a scripture today that I loved. It’s in Romans chapter 8 verse 18 “ for I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to...
