I bought a Game of Thrones jackets for myself and mika. I picked House Targaryen and Mika is House Stark. This is an early birthday gift for me and early Christmas gift for Mika and I. The coolest thing is that I bough matching House Stark rings for Mika and I to wear. Since we don't have wedding bands I thought it would be cool to have something for the both of us to have that we like. It was pretty nice to see my husbands facial expression when I asked him if he wanted his Christmas gift early. Classic! I love to do simple and nice things for my husband and my family. Well Merry Christmas Honey!

NEW COMPANION!
Man I can't tell you how much I love my companion Sister Murdock! She is an awesome trainer! She has helped me so much! We got our transfer call last night! Sister Murdock is being transferred out of Spring Creek and will be going to Carson City. I am going to miss her!
My new companion will be Sister Merrick from Vernal, Utah! She has been out for 4 months.
So funny story,, I met Sister Merrick at Sisters conference in Reno. (not knowing she would be my companion) She seemed really familiar so we were trying to figure out where we might of seen each other. She told me that she knew me from somewhere and we couldn't figure out where we have met. I really don't think we've met before, I told her that we must of known eachother in the premortal life! She said, "Yeah! Maybe we are supposed to be companions!" LOL and look at us now! We are companions!! haha She will be driving up from Reno on Wednesday! I am excited to get to know her more! She seems pretty cool.
SISTERS CONFERENCE!
Our trip to Reno was so much fun! We had a lot of trainings on how to be a better missionaries. There are 37 sisters in the Reno mission. I felt the spirit so strong. I was able to give a short talk on the Holy Ghost. I was nervous the whole time and was stressing out about it,,Up until I was up there on the podium! It was weird cuz I wasn't nervous or scared at all when I was giving my talk. Ive had this happen to me a couple times now! But I got lots of compliments saying I did good! I am grateful for the Holy spirit that was with me, comforting me so that I could give my talk!
Something that really stood out to me at Sisters Conference was to BE YOURSELF. I have struggled with this because I had this high expectation of a great missionary in my mind. I learned that you don't have to be a talkative, outgoing person to be a great missionary! But to just be yourself! Come as you are and the Lord will change you. Be yourself so the Lord can use you as an instrument in his work!
Well anyways,,,I wish I could keep writing but I gotta get back to work haha
Have a Happy Halloween!
Love Sister Tupuola!
Ether 12:27

Sister Conference

Heaven wanted to take a picture of me lol
I'm so excited that my husband got us tickets to go to the First Presidency Christmas Devotional for December 3. We've always wanted to go to it years prior but it was always Sold Out. So we would watch it online or on Youtube. But this year we are going with my brother Henry and Sister Juanita. Hopefully my nieces could come but we will see. I'm excited and I hope to be edified by the wonderful messages given by the Prophets. Thanks Babes for this upcoming cool experience.
Hello Fam! Its been a good week!
TABLETS!
We just got word from our Mission President that we will be getting tablets to help us in the work! All of the missions in the US and Canada will have Tablets and smartphones by next year. We will be doing a lot of training on how to use them. I am excited! Right now, my mission is using the good ole flip phones haha the ones that you can buy at walmart for $10. Having a tablet will be so much more resourceful and helpful!
Last week my companion and I carved pumpkins. We put them in front of our house and the next morning it was scattered into pieces all over our driveway! The dang deers ate them! haha Our neighbor told us that there is a reason why no one has pumpkins on their porch! lol we spent so much time on them! haha we just died laughing! But yeahh I learned that Deers like to eat pumpkins.
CYNTHIA WELLS
Every Monday we go to Walmart to get groceries and stuff. Last Monday, in the parking lot, a woman in her mid 40s came up to us. It was hard to understand her but she asked us if we could give her a blessing. We told her we weren't able to but that we would call the Elders to give her one. She said she thinks that she is being possessed by an evil spirit and needs help. She went on to say that her apartment complex is cursed. We told her we would be glad to help and so we called the Elder missionaries. They were able to go to her house and give her a blessing. We were not able to go because it was not in our area. (I really wanted to go haha) The Elders told us that her apartment is in a sketchy area and it looks haunted. They were able to give Cynthia a blessing. I am not sure how it all went but we are going to talk to the Elders later today to find out more details!
NATALIE
Natalie is a lady we met yesterday who had her records removed from the church. She told us that she has a strong desire to come back. She has met with our bishop and he gave us permission to teach her. We have a lesson set with her on Tuesday! She is in the process of getting rebaptized. She has to take lessons from us before she does. We are excited to get to know her more! She is really nice!
But anyways,,I love the different people that I am able to meet every week! I love this gospel and the Book of Mormon! I love my companion! This will be our last week together :( She is getting transferred out! I will find out on Sunday who my next companion will be. But I will stay in Spring Creek for probably another 3 months.
I love you all! The church is true!
Love Sister Tupuola :)
