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. :)

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...
