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!! :)

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...
