I LOVE THE SABBATH DAY!! August 6, 2017

If you were to ask me what my favorite day of the week was I think I'd have to say SUNDAY! So many amazing things happen on Sunday and we get to go to church and partake of the sacrament. It's seriously the best day ever :) 

Yesterday we had some amazing things happen at church. We got a referral Saturday for a 16 year old boy named Fernando (name has been changed by S.Rosenberg)  and he was so excited to meet us and come to church. So we got him a ride and he came! It was our first time meeting him and at first he was very shy and a little uncomfortable being somewhere he had never been before, but throughout church his mind changed. Our testimony meeting was so wonderful! There were many testimonies given on the power of prayer and acting on promptings. He said after that, that this was going to be his church and he felt like he was home. He even brought up being baptized! It was such a tender experience to see how when people come to church, they feel the Spirit and the Spirit testifies about the truth that this is Jesus Christ's church restored on the earth again. We also had members who hadn't been coming for a long time come and receive a calling! It was so great! I loved being able to see how this ward has grown so much in the past couple months. It was really a testimony builder for me that this IS Christ's church. and it IS the same all around the world. I know I talked about this before, but it's amazing to see how the church truly is the same all over the world. We talked about it yesterday in Relief Society and I kept thinking about how Fernando said he felt at home after coming to church and that's exactly how I feel. Even though I know I am miles away from home, I know that going to church will be the same no matter where I am. It brings me so much peace and comfort to know that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 
Jesus Christ's doctrine is never changing and because people are accepting and acting on it, miracles are happening. I love it! 

Something funny.. A member kept asking us where we lived and we were like, uh...why? and she wouldn't tell us. So yesterday we went with a different member to take one of the people we are teaching home and as we came back to the church to get our car we caught her putting sticky notes all over it and trying to leave us a little gift basket thing. It was so funny! The member driving honked at her and she's all "DANG IT!" It was hilarious!! 

I love the people in this area!! I am so grateful for all of your prayers!! I hope you all have a SOOOOIIIEET week! :)

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...

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...
