You Are His Light!

Howdy! Another great week in the work of the Lord! 



☆Some more crazy storms in the area! We lost power for several hours, and flooding was pretty bad, but other than that we were all okay! We had a 2 hour drive that day, and we got a free car wash x5 to say the least haha.

☆We found a family who has been less active, and they want to come to church more often. They have 4 little girls so I fit right in. I love them! When we talked about being sealed as a family, their eyes lit up. No words.

☆I learned that in Texas, there's no beans in chili. Hmm. If there's beans, it's not chili. 

☆Stake Conference was on Sunday! We had the opportunity to welcome Elder Lewis of the Seventy and his wife for the weekend. We went to the Leadership meeting (which was AMAZING) and the evening session. Lemme tell ya, Southern Linger Longers are INSANE. I probably gained 10 lbs and I don't regret it one bit. We learned about Christlike leadership and how we can show others that we love them. He gave us like 10 invitations (he told us there would be a lot in advance), and testified that Jesus is a God of miracles. My favorite invitation was him telling us that he knows we work so hard and sometimes don't see all the results we want. He said, “My last invitation to you is to hang in there. Jesus is the Christ, and you are His light. There will be someone who is the one.” I didn’t want the weekend to be over! He also took the time to meet every new member and non member after the Sunday session. He is so awesome!



Dana is our friend on date for baptism! We showed her the Rome, Italy temple virtual tour and the room filled with the Spirit. She is doing such a great job at preparing to make covenants with the Lord. Please please pray for her and her baby, Ivory!



I had a really cool thought with Elder Lewis. My companion and I didn't know what he looked like, and a whole bunch of men walked in. When they made their entrance, even though we didn't know who he was, the presence of the Priesthood and the Spirit was SO strong. 

I wonder if that's what it's like for people who don't have the gift of the Holy Ghost when they run into us missionaries, or even someone who has the Priesthood or has the Spirit with them. Cool thought? I've been pondering about it lately. I want to be the kind of missionary and person that helps people feel the Spirit when I'm around them, and they can see the light of Christ in me. Let's all try to do that, okay? The best thing we can do is to become who Christ needs us to be- for others. 



Anywho, that's all. 



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! ...
