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! :)

FIREFLIES AND RAIN! May 29, 2018

Hello friends and family!! This week was so good! We had a lot of fun and visited a LOT of people! It was fantastic! The members here are so good to us and really do want to help, so we are working hard with them to help them become even greater missionaries :) It rained a lot at the beginning of the week, but it was fun knocking on peoples door in the rain. We got into a couple houses because of it :) At night the fireflies all come out and it is so AMAZING! There are lots of fields here that are just full of them and it is so cool to see at night. Fun story, so today we got to do a little photo shoot with one our members and her 3 year old son. It was so much fun! Sister Wamsley was a wedding photographer before the mission so she has skills to do it. We took pictures of them making/eating spaghetti and cutting cabbage. It was cute. We were asked to do it for our Mission Presidents wife to use for the family history booth they have in Bentonville. It was really cool

BLESSINGS January 7, 2019

This week was so good and full of blessings! It started with New years eve at Bob and Wanda's. We went and they had all kinds of party toys to celebrate the new year. There were lots of people and as we were sitting there talking with our recent convert and his family (people we are trying to teach) and then these people behind saw us and talked to us for a minute and then later that night they gave us their phone number and addresses and told us to stop by soon. It was amazing! Tuesday we had interviews with our mission president and his wife and it was wonderful. It's so good being able to talk to them. We can tell how much they truly love and care about us which is super good. That night we had our big group lesson and we were on exchanges so I took our greenie that's down here and it was such a great lesson! At first, it was crazy and chaotic. There were so many people and lots of different t conversations at once. But after we said we would like to share a messag
