What's up squad!

(I’m not that cool, got it from my friend Emmy)

I won’t lie, this week was a little bit rough. So this email may be a little bit short. 



Highlights:

☆After church Andy invited us to have a picnic with him. I will put down some of his quotes later, that guy is hilarious.

☆Actually had some member meals! usually we get 1-2 a week, but this week we had 5! I love getting to know members better. #miracles.

☆Went to Vance Air Force Base literally every day this week, probably one of my favorite places in Enid, I just wish it was Army;)

☆Became the Word of Wisdom police and raided Andy’s apartment. PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM!! He is trying really hard and can use any Heavenly help he can get!

☆had an exchange with the Hermanas in Spanish land, there's a Hermana who is from Honduras and doesn't speak English. So I spoke more Spanish than English that day. I even prayed for them in Spanish so that was cool. My brain hurt after the day was over. It still hurts. High school Spanish doesn't prepare you for anything, but hey it did something for me. The Holy Ghost helped me a ton. 



Andy is progressing so well! We meet with him almost every day. He made it to church on Sunday, he biked like 5 miles one way… haha he parked his bike in a regular parking spot, he got there before we did!! He was really nervous about people accepting him, but when we got there he was walking an elderly lady across the parking lot, and she invited him to sit by her so I think he will be okay:)



Quotes of Andy: 

**After hearing about transfers**"I'm gonna have to make some calls. Who can I call?"

"I'm not gettin no metal straws, the turtles got to quit learning to eat plastic straws. Save the dogs!" 

"If anyone comes to get you girls, Andy's gonna have to repent." 



John is doing pretty good too! His four year old daughter is attached to me at the hip so that’s gonna hurt the both of us when I leave… pray for him too. The Word of Wisdom is the hardest thing for him, and he could use some prayers. 



Well this week, we studied "Peacemakers Needed" by President Nelson. I love it!! We need to always strive to be a peacemaker, especially in this crazy world. In it he says, "Charity is the antidote to contention." 

This week I invited y'all to try to have a little bit more charity for others. If you do, I know that your lives will be full of peace. 



Here's the talk! Click on it.

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....

Next Stop: PROVO MTC

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! ...
