Continue In Patience

Howdy hey y'all. I won't lie, I don't remember a ton from this week, it was a whirlwind. 



☆I'm getting over one of my biggest fears…🐍. One of our new members has a boa named Ghost, he's 4 ft long and I HELD HIM!!! That's a huge milestone for me right there, Amelia you'll be so proud;)



☆We went out to eat with the Stanfields, one of the funniest families in Norman. I've loved catching up with the members here.



☆it's finally getting warm here! Nice and in the 70s-80s!! I love missionary work, but even more when you can talk to people all day outside!! 



☆had a galentines day with the hermanas and the stls! It was so good to see Sister Hay!



☆the Dummers had us over for a Valentines day dinner, we made chocolate covered strawberries and ate yummy food. Love them!



☆ had dinner with the one and only brother gorshe. What a guy.

I'm staying in Norman with Sister Herbst! Sister Macbeth is leaving to another area a couple hours away from here. 



I've done a ton of studying on Christlike attributes this week, so I'll share some of my thoughts on patience. 



Patience is a hard one. Sometimes I feel like I have patience until God gives me a situation that requires patience and I realize that I don't have as much as I would like. I love the talk, “Continue in Patience” by Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf. 



The main thing that's been on my mind is the realization that if we are going to reach our full potential as beloved children of God, we need to learn to be patient. Being patient doesn't mean to just wait, but to endure struggles with faith, grace, and fortitude. 



“The work of patience boils down to this: keep the commandments; trust in God, our Heavenly Father; serve Him with meekness and Christlike love; exercise faith and hope in the Savior; and never give up. The lessons we learn from patience will cultivate our character, lift our lives, and heighten our happiness. They will help us to become worthy priesthood bearers and faithful disciples of our Master, Jesus Christ.”



My invitation is to read/listen to that talk, it'll just make your day, I promise. Look, I made it easy for 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!! Oh. My. Goodness. I changed my P-day because I’m going the the temple today. I’m so happy to be going to the Lord’s house with Norma-Jean, but tell ya what I am TIRED!!! But in the best way;) Its been a kind of slow week and a half, the roads are COVERED with ice so we have not been allowed to drive. So that means: 1. doing all of our work over the phone… 2. begging members to give us rides 3. walking everywhere we go  Soooo this week we…. -did over 60 hours of phone work -had ALL of our lessons cancel on us -more than half of our member meals canceled on us -we ran out of food, money, and miles -I made sister sody so jealous because everyones little kids come and give me the biggest hug, then just stare at her…and it always happens to the people who we’ve never met. She says it’s a spiritual gift haha.  -got my fingernails painted by Dallas’ little girl named Haven.  -got our hair cut by sister kern, she’s from Salem and I had NO IDEA!! -watched “why I believ...

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! ...
