Happy Faith Farmers

 Howdy Hey! This week was so good! Let me tell ya about it!

☆We got to celebrate Sister Caporale’s big 20! woot woot! Texas Roadhouse in Texas is a good way to go on a July Saturday night…
☆Please continue to pray for Dana! We are going full steam ahead to her baptism on Saturday at noon. We are so excited!!!
☆Can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this yet, but 2 week in a row we’ve gone to the Wichita Mountains. It’s been so fun to spend time with other missionaries! Medicine park, Mt. Scott, and super fun things in between! (Riverside cafe and the drink place across the street are the best places to go. Get the okie burger)
☆Owen G. made us the cutest little crosses that says "Jesus loves you" my heart!!

This week I want to share a little bit about a training that my mission president gave on Tuesday. His trainings are always bomb, so how could I not share?

As children of God, we all have such a divine potential. We have the availability to receive all kinds of gifts and blessings from our Heavenly Father- of course in His time, and according to His will. But one of the biggest things that hold us back from receiving all of those blessings available is our own personal faith and obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ. 
President said something that I love. He said to always have the Savior be the center of our lives, which means that we have integrity, being “Humble in the light, and true in the Dark.” Obedience is just as important when we are alone as it is when we are surrounded by others. 
I loved when he had us turn to the bible dictionary, under Faith. A snippet says, “true faith always moves its possessor to some kind of physical and mental action; it carries an assurance of the fulfillment of the things hoped for. A lack of faith leads one to despair, which comes because of iniquity.”
Our Heavenly Father wants us to be happy! 
Faith + Obedience = HAPPY!!!
Back to the Bible Dictionary, “Although faith is a gift, it must be cultured and sought after until it grows from a tiny seed to a great tree.” President Hugues then told us, “We are the farmers cultivating our own faith!” Oh, how true that is! When we are obedient to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we will be the happiest faith growing farmers on this earth!! I know it!! 
President Hugues then invited us to decide NOW to unite ourselves to the work and the Savior for the rest of our missions, and the rest of our lives. 
My invitation this week is the same. Please, choose today to unite yourself with the Savior. Choose to believe in Him! Let your belief influence your daily, hourly, minute decisions. I know that as we do this, we will receive every blessing possible that our Loving Heavenly Father has to offer us. 

God loves you and so do I! Have the best week everyone!

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! 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! ...
