GO HOGS!! August 1, 2018

I am staying here in Prairie Grove AR-Kansas with Sister Rosenberg another 6 weeks! woot woot!
I am so excited because we have amazing people we are working with and it's been such a fun companionship!! It'll be a great 6 more weeks! 

This week we were in a town in our area that we don't get to spend very much time in, just once a week and we weren't sure what to do. So we prayed and felt that we should walk to go see this less active member and then after go try a former person who was being taught. It was amazing to see the miracles come from that. We walked to the member's home and she said it was a miracle that we even caught her at that time, they just got home and were only staying for a little bit before leaving again. It was so cool!! We wouldn't have been able to see her if we would've driven because we would've gotten there before they were there. After that we went to visit the former and we pulled up and they were outside so we got out and said hi! They were happy to see us so we thought it was the person we went to find, but turns out it wasn't. The other person we were looking for had moved and the people we met had just moved in a couple months ago and had never met missionaries. We told them about the Book of Mormon and what our purpose is and they loved it! They said they've been wanting to go back to church, but weren't sure which one and so they wanted to know everything. It was such an amazing experience! The Lord truly is preparing people and it's been wonderful to see that. This was a testimony builder for me because it taught me a lot about the power of prayer. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God." James 1:5. I was lacking wisdom on knowing where to go to find those who are ready and I knew there was only one way for me to find out. I needed to ask God. I know that Heavenly Father hears us and answers our prayers. I am so grateful for prayer! I am also so grateful for all of your prayers as well! I can definitely feel them and see how they are helping the Lord's work progress! You are all amazing and I challenge you all to pray if there is something you don't know about it. Study it out in your heart and mind and then ASK God. We see miracles happen when we ACT on our faith and turning to Heavenly Father is definitely an action of faith. 

I love and miss you all! Have a wonderful week!! :)

SMALL AND SIMPLE January 21, 2019

Hello friends and family!  It has been an adventure of a week, that's for sure! We had a super fun last night at Bob and Wanda's. Some of the people from Prairie Grove came down to hear me sing again. It was sad saying goodbye to everyone, but I know Heavenly Father has a plan for me. Then we went to the Senior center on Tuesday and delivered meals to 66 different houses! That was fun running around and giving people meals. They were a lot more open and excited to see us, that's for sure :) Haha! Then we had my last group lesson Tuesday night. We did the Book of Mormon experiment and had everyone take a page from the Book of Mormon and then highlight every time it mentions the Savior and things that stood out to you. We had an amazing discussion and everyone participated in it. So good!! Wednesday I packed and said goodbye to more people, I definitely miss Van Buren. But. Thursday I made it safely to MOUNTAIN HOME!! woohoo!! I met my new companion sister Chandler and she ...

ROUTE 66 April 25, 2018

This week we had Zone Conference and went on exchanges in Joplin again. It was a blast! We enjoyed learning so much from our mission president and his wife. Good things are happening and I love it! We talked a lot about personal revelation as well. It's very important for us to recognize how Heavenly Father speaks to us so that we can act on the things we are prompted to do. So many good things, I'm not even sure what to tell you! haha  My wonderful companion and I went and played volleyball with our investigator, we just rode by and they were out playing so we joined them and Sister Najera went to hit the ball and I was talking with our investigator and she nailed me in the head. It was so funny! Luckily it was a soft ball, but it just reminded me of the times playing volleyball with the YSA back home. We also met the guy who owns the little Dairy King in commerce which is a landmark on Route 66. It was so cool! He had previously met with missionaries and has read the who...
