GOD IS GOOD & GOOD IS GOD May 23, 2022

 Hi everyone!! First off, I love yall :) I just wanted to remind you of that if you were wondering!!


But also, let me tell you about something amazing: LIFE!!! Isn't that just the coolest thing ever??! We get to live here, on this beautiful earth, with these beautiful souls. I can't think of anything more wonderful than that. 

I can't even find one thing to tell you about this week, because it was so full of brilliant moments! Everything from mountain music jams to catching fireflies, this week was simply magical.

When I look back on this week, and honestly my whole life, I just see so many miracles. Those little small moments might not seem very miracle-y, but I know that is exactly what they are. God's fingerprints are all over this world, and all over your story!! He created EVERY GOOD THING. Big and small, it was Him! He created the fireflies that light up the dark and the music that warms hearts, and He did it all to make youf happy. Isn't that just incredible? If that isn't a miracle I don't know what is.

Life just gets better when we stop rationalizing away divinity and turn to the simple reality: God is good, and all good is from God. Start recognizing it :)

I hope yall have a great week and that you notice the brilliance and beauty of the life you are living. EVERY DAY IS MEANINGFUL SO GO FIND THAT MEANING. Love yall!

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...
