Happy birthday mum. I love this woman so much though I may not say it or act like I do, but trust me when I say it's all in the heart. ❤️❤️

I'll remember this day for as long as I live, when I die, when I'm in the celestial world... Always! Haha The day I opened my mission call. I remember feeling so excited yet nervous. Excited for it was a day I was looking forward to basically my whole life. Nervous in case I was called to the Wellington mission despite saying I wouldn't mind being called there earlier haha. I remember specifically the moment I read those words..... Actually nah haha I saw "Provo missionary training center " first and I was over the moon! Then I saw "December 1st" and slowly my buzz was buzzing off THEN I read it ..... "Dear Sister Fakaosilea, You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of the church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the Thailand Bangkok Mission." I use to watch prospective missionaries open their mission calls on YouTube all the time, and would even tear up! I was so sure that I would cry when I opened my call. Well I wanted to, but I didn't. It was that moment that I learnt that the spirit isn't always in liquid. It was simply there in my heart full of gratitude. Yes, grateful that I was going out of NZ, but more grateful to know that the Lord had chosen me to serve his children in Thailand. I was Grateful for the gospel in my life. Grateful to have a testimony to share with the people. I remember the moment I read those words, I loved the people of Thailand in an instant! My heart was already with them. But that had taught me that I should love everyone around me first. My neighbours. The ones who are much nearer to me. The ones that I know. The ones that I see everyday yet never talk to. What a lesson, what a blessing.

The ultimate Tempe experience. Too sacred for me to write it on a blog. Instead, it goes in my journal. All I can say, is that the spirit was strong felt. The experience was overall sacred. And I loved it
