DO I TRUST THAT THE LORD WILL FULFILL HIS PROMISES?? September 17, 2018

Hey!! 

Oh man, this week was so fun! I know I just wrote on Wednesday, but we had a blast with a certain family in our ward this week. We also had an amazing spiritual experience as well. So there's a family in our ward named the Fox's and they have taken us in as the adopted daughters pretty much. it's the best. They are so funny!! We goof off with them and have great lessons with them as well. They have a son who is 15 and he loves to joke around with us. They called us the other day and invited us to go to lunch with them because they saw we were home at our apartment. They are so sweet! So, don't worry, I am definitely being taken care of here in Arkansas :) 

We also had a lesson with Yannick this week (the one who randomly walked into church one day) and he is doing AMAZING!! He is recognizing the Spirit at church and when he's with the members of the ward. He loves it and so we are going to be working towards the next step in his conversion! He is preparing for baptism, but we aren't entirely sure which day yet. It's very exciting to see him change. During our lesson on Friday we talked about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and how important it is to Endure/Enjoy to the end. It doesn't stop after he's baptized and confirmed. There is much more that we continue to do after as we serve in the church and renew the covenants we have made. He felt the Spirit very strong as we talked about it. We also talked about Hope. I have been studying Hope this week and I love how preach my gospel defines it as "Hope is an abiding trust that the Lord will fulfill His promises to you." I love this! I asked myself do I trust that the Lord will fulfill his promises to me?? and it took lots of thinking, but I have come to the conclusion that I do. I absolutely trust in Heavenly Father. I know that He has a plan for me and loves me so much. He has promised me and everyone so many things, but asks that we follow His son and trust in Him. I know that as we do, we will draw closer to Him and receive those blessings. Yannick also loves the scriptures and the talks given by President Nelson. I am so excited for him to watch General Conference, he's going to love it!! It's so wonderful!! 

We also had a stake relief society activity this week and we made blankets for children in need!! It was wonderful, we made over 100 blankets! I absolutely love doing service! Which, we also were able to help someone we are teaching plant a garden this week. It was an awesome opportunity to fellowship and get to know her! We absolutely loved it and hopefully we will be seeing more of her. :) 

I am so grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the knowledge we have of Him. I am so excited to be staying in Prairie Grove and have the opportunity to teach such amazing people! I know that the Lord has a plan for each of us, we just need to exercise our faith and hope in Him. :)

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...
