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! :)

TRY IT!!! July 9, 2018

Hello Friends and Family! This week was super good! I learned a lot! We got to meet our new Mission President and his wife this week! yay! They are so sweet! I am very excited to be able to work with them, even though it is sad to see the Lovelands go, they were amazing. I'm President and Sister Strong will be too! One thing I learned from President Strong this week was to TRY IT. He talked a little bit about how you won't know unless you try. This really stuck out to me because it works so well with everything! Like, you never know if that person is going to be interested in the gospel unless you try talking to them, right? You don't know if you'll be good at something unless you try. I love this so much! I'm not sure why it clicked so well, but it did. and it's TRUE! We are here to TRY. We have been sent to earth and given the gift of agency to try things. To try to improve and be better. We can't become perfect at something unless we try. I am so g...

OKLAHOMA ADVENTURES November 27, 2017

Happy Thanksgiving!!!  I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving on Thursday ! My companion and I were nicely fed by our new Bishop and his family. It was so nice! It's been an adventure shotgunning this area with two new missionaries. The area is huge here, but the members are few. Also, we don't have a car yet and we aren't sure if we will get one and my bike is in Bentonville sadly so we will have to wait till the end of this week to get that. So right now we are walking! It's been fun though, because we've been able to talk to more people that way. However we can only walk around Miami and it's a lot of walking haha but I love being here! :)  My companion is Sister Knight and she's from South Ogden Utah and has been out 6 Months. She has been in three areas as well and we get along great! We've been really working hard to get to know all the members and get to know the area since we are both new and there haven't been missionaries since J...
