Perfect Harmony

Howdy, yall!


Holy cow. What a beginning of the transfer. 


☆my new companion is Sister Caporale! We are 2 peas in a pod. Imagine a mix of Sister Allen and Sister Rasmussen, and you've got it. I call her Sister Capdawg, and she calls me Sister Jendawg. Love her. In 5 days we've driven around 15 hours together, lots of good and funny talks. 


☆Texas is such a blessed state. We have SO MANY PEOPLE in our teaching pool (not even joking, 34 people) I love the people so so much already. 


☆we had MLC with Elder Schmutz of the 70, it was so special to be with a General Authority. He is so tender and loving to everyone, what a blessing it was to spend an afternoon with him.


I'm running out of time here but I know that God is so aware of the big details, and the little details. I've had a couple of cool experiences that have helped me to remember. Elder Schmutz talked about when his son served a mission, he called and said that he felt like he was in “perfect harmony” with God. To be in perfect harmony doesn’t mean to be perfect. It means to be constantly trying to align your will to God’s unchanging will. Sister Hugues said that our quest as a missionary is to grow in love for our Savior.  In John 21, Christ asks, “Lovest thou me?” not, “Do you know everything about being a missionary?” or “are you perfect yet?” All we need to do is grow in love for Jesus, and the rest will come along when it comes to being in perfect harmony. That’s all:)


Have a good week! 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! ...
