Saviors On Mount Zion

OKAY! Buckle up because this is by far one of the most unhinged weeks of my mission. Also happy Valentine's day!



Usually I hate doing “day by day” but I think I'm gonna do that since I'm still trying to process things. 



Thursday- such a fun exchange with Sister Knight, and I ran into a wall on my bike and got a mega bruise on my thigh. 



Friday- p day, we went to the temple, and President called me and asked if I would be willing to go BACK TO NORMAN 24 for and emergency transfer. Of course I said yes. I'm going from one trainee to another! I'll be finishing Sister Herbst's training!!!



Saturday- went to Norman and figured out why I got ETed… it’s a little crazy, but I know that God is aware of me, and that He is in the little details.



Best epic fail:



Sister Knight laughed so hard during our exchange that she had to use her inhaler. I LOVE to laugh, even if events of the day literally took Sister Knight’s breath away…



Honorable mentions:



♡reunited with some of my favorite people in the whole world. I love Norman so much!



♡I have a Valentine…baby Hudson gave us a rose and a cute little card. Love the Dummers!



♡there have been so many miracles that have happened here in Norman. Seeds that were planted while I was here last time have grown, and I'm so happy to be able to see them



♡saw all of my precious friends from Bingo, happy theyre still alive



♡had my yearly dr pepper and kit kat to remember someone special to my family, I love the Plan of Salvation



♡Sister Herbst graduated!! I am SO proud of her.



This week has been so hard, but my heart is so full. I know that God loves me, and has a plan for me and others around me. 



On Friday night we took our recent convert, Judd, to the temple for the first time. He got to perform a baptism for his mom, it brought me so much pure joy.



One thing that the temple presidency said in their little devotional before was that we were being “Saviors on Mount Zion” by doing ordinances for people who couldn’t do them for themselves. (For reference, you can look in the Book of Obadiah and Doctrine and Covenants 103). I have such a deep love for temple work because of the Savior. He has already done for me what I could never do for myself. Without Him I have nothing, and with Him I have the chance to have everything. 



I absolutely love being the hands and feet of Jesus, it’s the best opportunity I could ever be given in this life. My invitation for y’all this week is to find ways to serve this week. Whether it’s in the temple, at home, or in your community. 



I’d also love to invite those who have yet to serve a mission for the Lord to pray to know if that's in God's plan for you. It will change your life, I promise. If you have any questions or concerns about a mission, please email me and I'd love to help!



I love you all so much, have a wonderful week. 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!! 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! ...
