Weeks 31 & 32: I Have No Gift to Give

Making Tacoyaki (octopus ball)

Hello! Some things that have happened lately:

-We taught a law of chastity lesson for the first time in a real setting.
-I gave a brief talk in Japanese for sacrament meeting and I was informed of this responsibility right as I was going to bed on the Saturday night before.
-Because all of the sisters in my apartment are Nihonjin, I'm teaching the English class.... First time it was great. Second time it was a hot mess. And I live another day to troll everyone. But speaking of hot messes....
-We made tacoyaki (octopus ball) with a member and it still tasted delicious so
-I can't speak Japanese lol.
-I modeled designer clothing for a less active.

The weeks are just flying by... Sometimes my best just doesn't feel enough, but then one day I had the song, "The Little Drummer Boy," stuck in my head. I know these lyrics are probably wrong, but...
"I have no gift to give that's fit to give a king." I realized that I'll never be able to "pay back" my Savior, so it's not about being enough, it's just about trying your best. The greatest gift I can give is my obedience... being fully consecrated.

"Pray as if everything depends on the Lord, and act as if everything depends on you." Thanks Brother Hainline. I love this saying! Have a great week everyone!


Companion exchanges with Yoshida Shimai. On point.
This cat made a comeback. (See transfer 1 pictures)

 A less active member let me model for her boutique designer clothes. :D
