Happy Monday! Jan 24, 2022

 HEY GUYS! This week was a PARTY! And I'm sorry for the randomness of this email in advance, haha


I got my new companion, Sister Knoll!! She is the literal sweetest and I ADORE her!! We seriously party all the time, haha. 

And guys, GIGI GOT BAPTIZED!! It was AMAZING! She was so cute and excited, she seriously started stripping in the halls to get her baptism suit on, haha. And then in her baptism she wanted everyone to jump in with her and she was just clapping her hands and jumping around, it was just so cute!!

She shared her testimony afterward and talked about how her story is like Joseph Smith's! She has found her church :) I am so grateful that I got to see her story play out all the way from doorstep to baptismal font. She is AMAZING!

I hope you all have an AMAZING week!! And I hope you know that Jesus loves you. He loves you where you are, but He loves you too much to leave you there. When we let Him in He can change us into the people we were meant to become!! We just have to trust in Him and His plan, and that is what is so amazing about His Atonement. I am so grateful that His grace has the power to change me, to make me more, and i know it can do the same for you :)

I love you all!! Have the most wonderful day EVER!! (Until tomorrow, the days just keep getting better!)

lasting discipleship 10/2/2022

  HI EVERYONE!!  This week was super good, other than the two times we got flashed :/ But it's okay, our neighbor has curtains now! But you wanna hear something crazy?? I was set apart as a missionary exactly one year ago today. That blows my mind. It has been the shortest, craziest, hardest, longest, best year of my life. And I never want it to end. I can't even begin to describe the joy I have found in serving my Savior over the last year. I'm so grateful for the change that has come in this time. In the last year I have learned so much about Jesus Christ- I've learned things I wouldn't have learned any other way. There is nowhere else I would rather be right now. But I don't want to give Jesus Christ just 18 months, I want to give Him my life!! We're not just looking to be good missionaries, good disciples for a limited time, we're seeking LASTING DISCIPLESHIP here! I don't need to be a full time missionary forever (even though I used to think so,...

  Hey hey party people! Hope you had another amazing week! This week we did a lot of knocking! And one day the craziest thing happened... we looked back and saw a lady going door to door, warning all of her neighbors not to listen to us. It was crazy! I realized how hard Satan is working to oppose this work! But I also know that God is working harder :) With all the rejection in our finding, we've also seen some amazing miracles! We met a guy this week who was SO prepared for the gospel! He was raised in a very strong faith, but he doesn't have a Christian background. What we taught him about the Book of Mormon opened his mind to Jesus Christ and it was so amazing! I'm so thankful God let me see that miracle! I've felt a LOT of opposition in this area, but I've also seen some amazing miracles. I've felt strength beyond my own pushing me forward when it's hard. I learned something about doing things cheerfully this week. I had this scripture come to me on one...

  Hey everyone! Fun fact, this is the third weekly email I have written today, and every single one of them has deleted. So if this one doesn't work I'm giving up, hahaha. But this week has been super good! We got to do a lot of knocking, with varying levels of success. The ones that don't work out are usually pretty exciting, though! We had a fully nude man come to the door and say "I'm neked! Fixin to take a bath! Come back later." It might be a little awkward to come back another time, but hey! I can be awkward for Jesus :) We met some other people while knocking who were SUPER interested! One lady had actually read the Book of Mormon before and she LOVED it! She literally jumped for joy, hahaha. Her and her sister came to church with us yesterday and it was an absolute party!! They brought a 2 year old with them, and there are definitely not that many kids in our branch... so people weren't quite sure how to respond to a little boy running up and down ...
