WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?? June 4, 2018

Hey Y'all!! 

This week was a great week! We got an odd job this week to take pictures of a family making spaghetti for a family history booth in Bentonville by our Mission President's wife. Sister Wamsley (my companion) was a wedding photographer before the mission so she did that and it was super fun! It was with a cute 3 year old and his mom. There are so many things I've done as a missionary that I never thought I would, but I love it! I love being able to help serve where I can. We visited a member who hadn't been to church in a while and she let us do her dishes for her, it was wonderful! Then, she came to church yesterday! It was so great! 

We taught another less active this week the Plan of Salvation and it was so amazing! We had one of the youth girls come out with us and she was so great. It was such a testimony builder to me, which it usually is every time I teach because as I am testifying I feel that I KNOW this is true. There's no way I can deny the Spirit that I feel as I teach the gospel. I loved how this woman felt as well as she was listening and discussing it with us. You could tell she knew it was true as well and couldn't deny it. It's amazing how the Spirit works with each of us and how we can receive those answers we desire as we pray, study, and testify of the things we learn. Ahh! I love this gospel so much!
 
Yesterday I was reading Elder Larry Y Wilson's talk again where he talks about Ensign Blairs experience and I just LOVE this! I have really been able to see a change in the things I do when throughout the day what's on my mind is, what can I do to help? I pray each morning to be able to recognize those moments of when I can do something and then each night I pray to tell Heavenly Father what I did. I know this has helped me to turn out like the Savior, rather than turning in like the natural man. I have felt so much more love for missionary work and the people in this area as I've been able to go outside myself and do what I can to help. 

Thank you for all your love and prayers!! :) I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Opening her Call!! May 11, 2017

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...

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...
