More Pictures! Transfer day! January 21, 2019

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...

FAREWELL VAN BUREN January 14, 2019

TRANSFERS!!! I am..... leaving! I am going to Mountain Home Arkansas where I will spend my last 6 weeks on the mission! Crazy!! I'm sad to leave Van Buren, but excited to go and make the most of this last transfer. Sister Buhler is staying and training so that's super awesome! I'm going to be with Sister Chandler (I haven't met her yet so that's exciting!) But I'll also be in the same district (area) as my MTC companion sister McNeil!!! I'm so excited about that! In addition to transfer calls, it's been an adventure of a week! So much I feel like has happened. We sang at Bob and Wanda's last Monday and the Vines and Yannick from Prairie Grove came down to see me!! It was so awesome! Another thing that happened was we got a lot of referrals! We had our meeting with the other missionaries on Wednesday and we set a challenge for each of us to find 3 new people to teach before Sunday and so we all were out and working hard to find people a...

BANISH YOUR DOUBTS!! July 16, 2018

Hey friends and family!! This week was great!! I learned a lot this week. We had interviews with our mission president and his wife and we talked about our doubts. We talked about what are doubts are, where they come from, and most importantly, how to banish them. It was so great! I loved the list we created for HOW we can banish them. It's easy to think of the doubts and mostly figure out where they're from, but knowing how to get rid of them is the hardest part so I am very grateful for the list we made. I have been focusing on the small victories and other people. This has helped me think more about how it's not about me, it's about those I am serving and working with. This helps me focus on my purpose and the positives leaving no more room for doubts. We all came up with a list of how to banish them, here is some of the list: >Faith >Perspective >focus on small victories >attitude/mindset >Positives! >ACT, ...
