JESUS IS BIG ENOUGH May, 9, 2022

 Hello hello everybody!! What is up??!


Things out here in West Virginia are straight up VIBING. It's getting warmer, it's getting greener, and I couldn't be happier!! The only thing that would make it nicer? A working air conditioner :)

We have spent SO MUCH time this last month driving our car to the dealership to get the AC looked at, and it's honestly been stressing me out a lot, haha. On those hour drives, with the sweat dripping off my forhead, I have a lot of time to think! And lately I've been beating myself up about how much time we spend working on our car, when we could be doing other missionary work...

On one of these trips, though, we met just the right person at just the right moment, and she told us that she immediately recognized us as missionaries. She knew she needed to talk to us. After our talk she told us through her tears that she had really needed us that day :) I could just feel Jesus telling me that everything was going to be okay! This is HIS WORK! He can work through my chaos. I need to have more faith in Him.

Isn't it just so cool to know that Jesus is big enough to do it?? Whatever you need Him to do or to be, He is that!! He's got you covered!! Just believe it :)

Having faith in Jesus Christ means having faith that people can change, including yourself. Because of who Jesus is, you can be who God needs you to be!! Don't give up on others, and don't give up on yourself- Jesus wouldn't want you to!!

I love you all and I hope that you have the most amazing week!! And that you can learn more about who Jesus is, and who He can make you.

LOVE YALL 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...
