Moss is not my friend 😕

Howdy friends! 🤠

Last week we spent our pday with the district and it was pretty hype! We played soccer, ultimate frisbee, basketball, volleyball, and chair soccer. And let me tell ya we went hard! Every muscle in my body was sore for a couple days, plus I bruised my hip after I totally ate it during soccer on the mossy turf haha. I've missed playing sports so much and even being sore felt so nice!!

As always we had lessons with friends this week and it's so awesome seeing them progress. Our friends are pretty amazing! For example, our car wouldn't start so we said a prayer asking for guidance and help as to what we needed to do. After the prayer we decided to call our friend who is a mechanic. He recommended a bunch of things to try and finally the car started! So yeah basically our friends are all miracles

Other than that, this week was basically just a lot of driving and dress wearing. We had stake conference this weekend, zone conference on Tuesday, and interviews with President and Sister Hammon on Wednesday. We spent lots of time unterwegs jamming to Jesus music and trying to stay calm with the wack traffic. But all the spiritual litness we got was SO worth it! One of my favorite parts was a Thema on the importance of having high expectations AND high love for our friends and ourselves because that is where the miracles happen!!

The Book of Mormon: A True Story!!

Image
It's Thursday so here I am again 🤪 This past week was pretty crazy but I was able to find some pretty cool miracles!  We received a couple referrals which was exciting and we've had some fun lessons with some of our friends. My favorite one was about the Book of Mormon where I was able to testify at the end. I was tearing up, the two people we were teaching were tearing up, and the Spirit was SO strong!! Even though I was bearing my testimony, the Spirit was definitely doing most of the work because I felt it being testified to ME! It was an amazing experience and I'm so grateful that I get to be a vessel for the Lord full-time One of the girls in the ward is prepping for her mission to Canada right now and has a goal to read the Book of Mormon before she starts. We were talking about it and she told me that sometimes it's hard to stay on track with the reading schedule she has right now. We realized that we were almost at the same spot in the Book of Mormon and decide...

Merry almost Christmas everyone!! I hope y'all had a fantabulous week and were able to recognize the hand of God in it cause He is always present! Even when life is hard, God is so good and tender mercies are all around Another last minute email so I'm just gonna give some highlights and a few of my little miracles from this week I got to see Sister Dibb on zoom! I went to an online workshop about finding techniques for missionaries. The gal teaching it asked us to stay online after it ended for a little surprise and it was Sister Dibb!! I had just been telling my comp about certain people I missed and then I got to see one of them. Such a blessing! Sister Maughan and I made and delivered 235 cookies. We blasted Christmas music and made snickerdoodles, chocolate chip cookies, and sugar cookies. It was so fun!! And then we traveled around our area delivering them to people who had previously been interested in meeting with missionaries And then I had my first zone conference! I ...

My mom abandoned me at a train station

Image
Hey hey party people! Wanna hear something absolutely wild? I finished my first transfer and am officially no longer a newbie 🤯 This last week of the transfer was pretty awesome! We made some new friends, taught quite a few fire lessons, had friends at church, and just had a blast together. And then my comp decided to leave me. I mean she didn't really have much of a choice but it was still pretty rude of her haha!  Tuesday was kinda chaotic and also quite sad lol. I had to say bye to Sister Maughan at the train station and I've been a bit of a mess since. She is an amazing missionary (she's an STL now so you know she's gotta be), the most perfect person I could've been with for my first transfer, and easily one of my best friends now. But Sister Maughan if you're reading this right now, I'm actually totally fine and definitely have not cried at all since you left 😂 I spent majority of the day after that waiting for my new companion with other sisters who ...
