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. :)

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...
