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!!

FIREFLIES AND RAIN! May 29, 2018

Hello friends and family!!  This week was so good! We had a lot of fun and visited a LOT of people! It was fantastic! The members here are so good to us and really do want to help, so we are working hard with them to help them become even greater missionaries :) It rained a lot at the beginning of the week, but it was fun knocking on peoples door in the rain. We got into a couple houses because of it :) At night the fireflies all come out and it is so AMAZING! There are lots of fields here that are just full of them and it is so cool to see at night. Fun story, so today we got to do a little photo shoot with one our members and her 3 year old son. It was so much fun! Sister Wamsley was a wedding photographer before the mission so she has skills to do it. We took pictures of them making/eating spaghetti and cutting cabbage. It was cute. We were asked to do it for our Mission Presidents wife to use for the family history booth they have in Bentonville. It was really cool

BLESSINGS January 7, 2019

This week was so good and full of blessings! It started with New years eve at Bob and Wanda's. We went and they had all kinds of party toys to celebrate the new year. There were lots of people and as we were sitting there talking with our recent convert and his family (people we are trying to teach) and then these people behind saw us and talked to us for a minute and then later that night they gave us their phone number and addresses and told us to stop by soon. It was amazing!  Tuesday we had interviews with our mission president and his wife and it was wonderful. It's so good being able to talk to them. We can tell how much they truly love and care about us which is super good. That night we had our big group lesson and we were on exchanges so I took our greenie that's down here and it was such a great lesson! At first, it was crazy and chaotic. There were so many people and lots of different t conversations at once. But after we said we would like to share a messag
