Sleepin'

Hey everyone! Hope you had a good week! Mine was a little tiring so this is gonna be mega short so I can take a nap.



☆we had a referral (Paul) that we had been trying to get a hold of for a little, and just as we were going to stop teaching him, we decided to try one more time to go over to his house. We knocked on the door but Paul didn't answer… but Johnny did! He wanted to be taught so we decided on coming back a few days later. Fast forward, we knocked on the door trying to find Johnny. Johnny didn't answer… but we saw Marcus and started talking to him! Next thing we know, all three are sitting with us, and we are teaching them about the Restoration. They love it! 3 new friends, and they are all friends!! 

☆exchanges with Sister Maughn was amazing. I love her! We had soo much fun and so much success. There was a cool lady named Theresa, and while we were talking to her I had the randomest prompting to ask her about life after death. She started to tear up and said that her husband died and she didn't know if she would see him again. We told her about the plan of salvation, and especially sealings in the temple. Long story short, she's now a new friend! Please pray for her! 

☆Zone Conference was amazing. We had trainings on resolving concerns, and extending powerful invitations. We each got to look President Hugues in the eye, shake his hand, and promise to be that kind of missionary for the rest of our missions. Of course I cried. I want to be that kind of missionary. 



This week was kind of a harder week emotionally and mentally. Every missionary has weeks like these at least once. I started to think to myself, “do I believe this enough to be going through this?” Or “am I really making a difference?” Sometimes it feels like I'm not. But I had a lot of really cool moments this week that felt like Jesus was calming those thoughts, “you know you believe”, “you're making all the difference” and “keep going!” Just when I would feel a little bit off or not doing the best, I'd be given a reason to keep going. Usually, it came through a person. We were teaching Shawn the other day and he had a lot of questions that I was actually asking myself earlier that afternoon. I was able to confidently bare my testimony regarding his questions, and it helped me realize that I really do know this, I really am needed here, and I am really making a difference. 



Okay I lied, it wasn't mega short. 



I love you all. I know that Christ lives and loves me and all of you. You know more than you think you know. You make a difference in this world, and God is proud of you! Keep going! Do something this week that makes you happy! 



God loves you and so do I!

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! ...
