you can't fail when you got JESUS!!! May 2, 2022

 Hello hello everyone! Thanks for tuning in to "how did Sister Petty embarrass herself this week?" Well let me tell you! I said the prayer at a dinner appointment and expressed my gratitude for Sally feeding us. There was a really long, uncomfortable silence afterwards, and it wasn't until Sister Humphreys told me in the car that I realized her name was actually Annie. That was a low point for me.


But now let me tell you about the high!! This week we met with a cute little widow in our ward, and she was soooo sweet. I decided to share the story of the Widow's Mite with her (the one in Mark 12) and I shared the General Conference talk "Our Heartfelt All" by Elder Uchtdorf. I didn't think too much about it, until yesterday!!

She got up in church and said that it had so blessed her to have us come visit. She had read through the talk multiple times, and the story of the poor widow just melted her heart. It made her realize that she was heard and valued, and that what she had to offer was enough! That Jesus can magnify us :)

It was so cool to see that God had given us the exact words she needed to hear!! I know that God loves each and every one of us, and that He has a plan so perfect and intricate, and we can't begin to understand the future He has in store for us! 

He knows YOU specifically, and He will send you the help you need! And, sometimes, He will send you as the help. Oh, what a wonderful experience it is to be that help. You might not always see the impact you have on others, but I PROMISE you it is there!! 

Because Jesus can magnify us, you are enough. Isn't that amazing??

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH AND HOPE YOU HAVE THE BEST WEEK EVER!! Remember how amazing and special yall are, okay?? Love ya 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...
