CHRIST LIKE LOVE August 13, 2018

HEY Y'ALL!! 

It's been a great week! 
Sorry I don't have more time to write, but here is a cool miracle that happened this week! I am so very grateful for the opportunity to see the Lord's hand in every day life!
 We had a miracle happen yesterday. We were at church and the thunderstorms were insane! Luckily people still made it to church, which was wonderful. As we were trying to greet everyone, Bishop came up to me and told me there was a man in a red shirt who just came in and wasn't a member. He asked me to go say hi to him, so I did! We went up over to him and he said his name was Yannick and he has never been to our church before, but he wanted to come see it for himself. So he came! He was very wet from the rain, but he seemed very happy to be there. Sister Rosenberg and I were already sitting with another one of the people we were teaching and there was no room left on the bench for Yannick. As the meeting started, I felt prompted to go sit with him. Then when the hymn started I decided to go and we all went, including the other person we are teaching. It was so great, because then I was able to answer the questions he had during the meeting. I explained the sacrament and the speakers and we were able to give him a Book of Mormon. It was a wonderful day for him to come, because there was someone giving their homecoming talk and it was perfect for someone new coming to the church. After Sacrament meeting, we invited him to our gospel principles class and he came! He also asked if he could come back next week. Of course, we said yes! It was such a miracle that he was so prepared to come learn more. It was also a testimony builder for me to always act on my promptings, because he probably would've been very confused if we hadn't sat by him to explain everything. Even though it was a huge thing, it was very important for him and for us as missionaries. I am grateful for the opportunity to share with others the gospel of Jesus Christ and help them understand the importance of the sacrament and the baptismal covenant we make with our Heavenly Father. We hope to see him again! :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! December 24, 2018

It's been an adventure of a week!  It started with our fun skit lesson we did with the elders. We have a family that feeds us every Tuesday and her sister lives in the Alma ward and her niece is being taught by the Elders so they asked if we could all do a lesson together at the church so we did! We (missionaries) acted out the scene of 1st Nephi when they go and get the plates. It was so much fun! It was a great to bring the scriptures to life and they all loved it. Plus, I got to be Laman and Lemuel so that was fun. After the skit we had a discussion about the faith that Nephi had for them to get the plates and how Laman and Lemuel repented from rebelling and they had to act on their faith as well. It was really special because then the lady who feeds us, both of her sisters aren't members and they were talking about baptism and learning more as well. So amazing!!! It was a great night. We are going to have another big lesson with them on Wednesday and I'll let y...

CHRISTMAS EVERYDAY!! December 17,2108

Woohoo! It's almost Christmas!!! One of our favorite songs right now is Christmas everyday by David archuleta. It you haven't heard it, I encourage you to go listen to it and his whole album. Ah. So good! It's been an eventful week as well!  We had MLC in bentonville which is where we went and talked about plans for our zone conference and future district councils. It was so much fun! Sister Rosenberg was called to be the other sister training leader so we get to go to that meeting together and we were able to do exchanges all day Wednesday and I stayed in Prairie Grove. It was so cool!!! I got to see a lot of the people I love and miss from that area. It was a blast being able to see them and be in their homes again. We had zone conference on Thursday and it was so fun! Since its Christmas it was a 2 hour meeting and the rest was just games and a talent show. Super cool! There are a ton of talented missionaries here. There was singing, kickboxing, roller skating, piano...
