"You Two Look Like Sisters"

Oh my goodness, what a week. I have never been so tired, so excited, and so ready for a 5 day nap in my life. But it’s all worth it because THE GLASCOS ARE GETTING BAPTIZED THIS WEEK!!!



Highlights:

☆Said bye to Sister Lee… But hello to Sister Rasmussen! I’m so excited for what this transfer will bring us! Everyone says we look like sisters so that's cool.

☆2nd night of the transfer, we had a thunderstorm warning- no big deal. In a span of 15 minutes it turned into a tornado watch, then a tornado warning, by then it was too late to go into our weather contact, so we ended up going to the Hermanas apt and had a night full of Uno, learning spanish slang, and freaking out because we couldn’t go to bed until everyone in our zone was safe (since we are the stls, we report to President) and no surprise the Zone Leaders fell asleep so we didn’t go to bed until 1:30…

☆made a new friend named Amya! She is so cute and told us that she wants to learn more about God. Please pray for her!!

☆had MLC, oh it was so fun, and so good to see all of my friends and past companions. ☆We got a new car! It drives SUPER weird, I have a really hard time with the gears, so pray that I don’t wreck this 2023 Nissan please;)



My spiritual thought this week comes from a training given by President Hugues during MLC. We talked about the similarities between John 6 (Loaves and Fishes to the five thousand) and John 21 (Feed my sheep). 

In John 6, we focused on the lad with 5 loaves of bread, and 2 fish. He must have been feeling so inadequate and so nervous! But he gave all that he had, and Christ took his offering and made it not only enough, but MORE than enough. 

In John 21, Christ is talking to Simon, who was a fisherman. He asked Simon if he loved Him, to feed His Sheep. President told us that we need to be like Peter. He knew how to fish, but not how to feed lambs. Despite any anxieties that he felt, he followed Christ. He loved Christ more than his comfort, and more than any insecurity or feeling of inadequacy that he had. 

Do we love Christ more than our trials and insecurities? That’s something I’m still working on for sure. Just like the lad, I know I don’t have too much to give, but I don’t let that stop me, or weaken my confidence as a missionary. 

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. We are promised that as long as we give everything to Him, the people who we need to serve will have more than enough, and so will we♡



I hope everyone has a blessed week! Stay safe, and remember that Jesus loves you!

Hey y’all!     This has been quite. the. week.      Highlights: -got to see Sister Demmerly at mission tour! -Got to spend some time with Ann at Bingo -Had a ward Christmas party, all of the primary girls decorated cookies and gave them to me. And they waited for me to eat them…. it’s so good to see that they look up to me, and want me to get obese.  -had a Christmas devotional with the whole mission -Sister Okie drew me the best picture ever of me and Morgan Wallen, and Sister Sody told a story based on the picture. Funniest comp bonding ever:) -Held the CUTEST puppy ever named Lola.     So on Friday, we were in the middle of teaching Toni. The lesson was pretty good, when all of a sudden the biggest BOOM happened. Like the blinds and doors were shaking in the house. And there was the brightest light that flashed. (Now I’ve been in Missouri during huge thunderstorms, I thought I’ve seen and heard it all.) I thought that WW3 was starting. No joke....

Hey y’all! What a week! Hope you all had a happy Halloween! I love being a missionary.  My district and I joke that it’s giving us a sliver of what being a new parent is like.  You go to bed tired, you wake up tired, all day you’re tired. But it’s okay, because you love it!!  -My family made it to Italy! They love it! Must be quite the adventure having no car, no house, and having a loaf of bread cost nearly $10…  -I have spent over 50 hours on the computer between classes, lessons, and zoom meetings with my district and my companion.  -I taught my first lesson! It’s starting to feel so real and I’m loving every minute of it.  -Had the ward trunk or treat… I love halloween so of course I had to dress up… -Had chicken and rice for dinner! I’m telling you, any type of chicken is a food that makes me proud to be an American.  -Probably drank half of my body weight of lemonade and chocolate milk… don’t worry mom. Nama and Bampa are taking good care of me! ...
