Me + Jesus = Perfect

What a miracle filled week. I know that God lives, He is watching over us, and He loves us!! 



☆Dana has told us that she is ready to be baptized! We are so so excited for her. She took the time to pray and ask if the Book of Mormon is true and if Joseph Smith really was a prophet. And she got her answer! Seeing her open up about repentance and how Christ has changed her so far changed my life. This Gospel is so real, and I'm so blessed to be sharing it. 

☆We had a lot of departing testimonies this week, it’s kinda funny how the people I trained are now going home and I’m still here. It feels weird, but I’m so excited to be here one more transfer. Big things are coming to the OOCM!



T-DOC

Sister Caporale and I are staying together for my last transfer! I'm so pumped to finish with such a stellar comp! 



This week I’ve been thinking about what it takes to grow our faith. Going way back to our mission tour with Elder Schmitt, he talked a lot about how our faith in the Savior can grow through our missionary work. He said he’s not good at math, but he made some pretty good equations…

exercise faith = work hard

me + Jesus = perfect

To gain more faith, we need to be doing things that require more faith. Working harder than the amount of faith that you currently have will help you grow your faith muscles. My companion and I have been thinking a lot this week, “If we had just a little more faith, what kind of things would we accomplish today?” 

And then we did it. We stopped people in their cars, they were interested. We listened to the Spirit, and found someone who had been on date for baptism in another town who we would’ve never met if we didn’t exercise that faith. 

But, we aren’t perfect. Sometimes we’re slightly off tune with what the Spirit is telling us, or another trial comes into our view. And that’s where Christ comes in to perfect our efforts. He enables us to do what needs to be done. The power to make the things that need to happen come to pass is only through Jesus Christ. I’m so thankful that I’m not in just a duo on my mission. But we truly have Jesus Christ as our senior companion. I'm so thankful for Him.



Everyone have a blessed 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....

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! ...
