Bomb.com!

Bula vinka (hello in Fujian)
Happy 4th of July, Happy Birthday Cookie girl,  Happy birthday
daddy, and Happy anniversary mommy & daddy!
My week has been filled with making sushi, interviews with President
Samuelian, catering to the needs of sisters, and learning lessons.
Seriously where do I start....

I feel like a new missionary. The amount of stress I currently have is
out of control ! I'm in a trio with two Hawaiian sisters
#getdownwithdabrown.

I had an interview with President this past week. The following is an
account of our conversation....
President : Sister Zubicki would you offer the opening prayer?
Me : sure, I would love to.
Me : Our Dear Father In Heaven.... In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
President : (immediately stares into my eyes) Sister Zubicki (in his
sacrament voice)... Are you tired of being asked if your Polynesian?
Me : hahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahah actually yes
because I'm Fijian.
- Sister Purcell and Agader are from Hawaii and they told me I needed
to pick a island to say I'm from so I picked Fuji... They taught me
some words... I feel super cool. I can't tell you how many people
think I'm actually from Fuji :)

Sister Agader really likes to cook so we made sushi with a less active
couple this week. It was seriously so much fun****  We shared a
message about eternal marriage at the end of our lesson. It was so great!
We are also helping them build their house. They are doing the habit for
humanity program so, every Saturday we help them for a few hours.
It's super hard but really rewarding.

We had a baptism this week... Which was awesome!!! We live in
a house that is literally the size of a shoe box. I'm currently
living out of my suitcase. The ward is on fire! They've have 7
baptisms this month. <~ super exciting. We are working with a family.
The mom was baptized a few months ago as well as the daughter and the
son. We are currently working with the dad. His name is D---. He's
awesome ! I invited him to be baptized on July 12.
Keep him in your prayers...We will be teaching him on
Wednesday.  I feel like daddy needs to send D--- a letter about his
experience in joining the church.

I found out that Eggie and her baby (new companion) scheduled someone
for a baptism! I'm SO excited for them both!

We are going on an exchange on Saturday in Rockaway Beach!
I'm so pumped to see all of my peeps!
I also bucketed 1 ton of hay this weekend. It was bomb.com!

Please keep me and all of the missionaries around the world in your prayers,
we need them, some more than others but, we ALL need them!
I love you all more than I can put into words!


XOXO
