Just follow Jesus!! March 28, 2022

 Hey hey everyone! Hope yall are having a GREAT day and that you do something fun with it!!


This week was an absolute party for us! We had our friend Richard get baptized and that was sooo cool! He's the funniest person, and has taught me so much about wood and frog butts and bunch of other random things, hahaha. But for real, his testimony is so inspiring!

He is going through a lot in his life right now, but somehow adding in the commandments hasn't made his life harder. It's actually given him more strength to deal with the hard!! That's something I studied this week, how taking upon us the yoke of Christ helps to LIFT us. Isn't that so cool?

In the Hymn "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" it talks all about this!! (It's #29 if you were wondering) I listened to that this week and was just shocked to see that whenever we give what small amount we have to Christ, He gives us so much more than we could ever get on our own. I'm so grateful for Jesus and all he has given me :)

I hope some of that made sense! Just know that whatever you need right now, God is that. He can help you with whatever you need! And I can sure try to as well, so just send me an email if you need :) LOVE YOU ALL TONS!!

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 yall!! Hope you're having an AMAZING day so far! And if it's not amazing yet then I hope you go change that :) You guys wanna know what my weekly goal was this week?? To FAIL!  And before you think I'm just giving up, hear me out real quick- I don't want to be controlled by a fear of failure!! I want to go forward with faith! And I want to ALWAYS try- even if I fail the first couple times :) And yall, I did so good at this goal! The week was full of MANY fails, hahaha. But for real, as soon as I accepted that failure was a part of living I became so much more excited to try new things and to stretch myself! So that's been a party :) And I learned something about failure and success last pday- we went hiking through a cave! And that is the first time I really experienced true darkness. The whole time into the cave all I could think about was how much further we were getting from the light... and how hard it would be to get out. Seriously yall, it was an intense...
