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!! :)

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...
