New Area...

Hey! Long time, no see!

P-day is today since transfers are on Wednesday… I've been so busy packing and getting ready to go and I'm not even close to done! 


☆The Moores and Nuttalls made a little goodbye dinner for me with British food and ice cream cake. It's sad to leave them, but I'm so lucky to have such wonderful people to say goodbye to!

☆A random guy paid for our snow cones, turns out he was being taught by missionaries in another part of Texas and recognized who we were. Garrett for the win! 

☆IT. WAS. SO. HOT. Literally everyone felt bad for us on our bikes and gave us water/ gatorade/ all of the above. Love the southern hospitality! 

☆I gave my departing testimony… it still hasn't hit me yet that I'll be on a plane in 3 days.


I'm still in a little bit of denial that I'm going home. I feel like I’m just going to my new area. In a way, I am! 

I've been thinking about this scripture a lot lately in Moroni 10.

32 Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.

33 And again, if ye by the grace of God are perfect in Christ, and deny not his power, then are ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God, through the shedding of the blood of Christ, which is in the covenant of the Father unto the remission of your sins, that ye become holy, without spot.


Life is meant for us to practice being holy, so that one day we will be without spot. This is only possible through the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ. Our purpose is to do these things, and bring along anyone who will come. My new area will look wayyy different. I'm not sure what it will look like, but I do know that my Purpose will stay the same. And that is to bring others to Christ by living in my covenants and abiding by the Doctrine of Christ. 


For my sake, I'll send one more email haha once I'm home. No tears right now! 


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....

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! ...
