JESUS CHRIST IS JOY November 5, 2018

Hey y'all!! 

I'm still alive and loving it down here in Van Buren Arkansas (: we've been having a lot of fun. I feel like Sister Buhler and I are always laughing. It's so great! A lot happened this week so hopefully I can sum it up for ya. We sang at Bob and Wanda's, went to Bentonville, saw S.Rosenberg and S. Wamsley, Claire Swaney is in our mission now (I worked with her at straws), Halloween with the Theobalds (games and treats and 7 kids), interviews with President Strong, saw the Vines from Prairie Grove, danced while volunteering, getting lost again..., line dancing, finding people who haven't been to church in a long time, 1st branch council, asked to give a talk, church is next to bluebell creameries, eating oreo balls, singing songs in southern accents, making jokes, meeting new people, literally running into my companion, and finding JOY. it's been so much fun getting to know more people here. There are wonderful members of this branch and amazing people in this area! They are so nice! 

We are working with two people right now who are preparing for baptism hopefully this month. It's amazing to talk with the other members of the branch who have seen them change. They saw them when they first starting coming and compared to know they have changed a lot. It's amazing how as we learn and fully understand the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can be changed. We remember everything that He did for each of us, and because of Him, we can be forgiven, we can start again, we can become the sons and daughters of God who Heavenly Father intends us to be. I've learned so much about my Savior on my mission and it has truly changed the person I am and who I want to become. Having faith in Him brings me JOY. I know that He is watching out for me and cares about the things I do. I love this gospel so much! I'm so grateful to be here sharing it with others. People notice everything we do, and so we should all be trying to represent our Savior in the best way possible. 

I love you all!! Thank you for your love and support!! I hope y'all have a FANTASTIC/FUN/EVENTFUL/CHRIST-CENTERED week!!

Temple Tuesday November 13, 2017

Hey Friends!! This week was so fun!! We had the amazing opportunity to go to the St.Louis temple this week! I loved it so much! I am so grateful we were able to go because we don't have on in our mission, but blessed with the best mission president :) We also had a fun time with our zone this week and did interviews with our mission president and his wife. They are such great people with lots of advice for us missionaries, I love it!  Something amazing that happened this week was we had exchanges with the traveling sisters (they go around the mission visiting all the sisters) and so there were four sisters just in our area, but it was the busiest day of the week! We had so many lessons that with each companionship we didn't have any gaps of time. It was such a cool miracle because we were able to teach so many people and have such a great experience. I just thought that was so cool!  Another thing that I started this week was reading the Book of Mormon and just...

GOD IS A GOD OF MIRACLES December 4, 2017

Hey everyone!! This week has been so great for the sister missionaries in Miami Oklahoma! So many good things are happening and it's wonderful! We've been able to see a lot of miracles happen. First, we were able to go to Bentonville this week for our Christmas Zone Conference which was amazing! So many good things were said and I was able to get my bike! So we can finally take a break from walking! haha But we were able to go serve and teach a few people in Baxter Springs Kansas so now I am officially a 4-state missionary, exciting :)  We've been doing service at the Coleman Theater which is an amazing theater built in the 1920s and it's beautiful! It's been fun serving there as well as the Dobson house and museum which is all about the history of Miami and a cute families home that is over 100 years old! We love being able to do service here and reach out to the people that are so involved in the community. :) Another miracle that happened this week wa...
