Week 17

Moroni 7:29- "Have miracles ceased? Behold I say unto you, Nay." We have seen so many miracles this week. The Lord is good, the work is working, and we have been blessed in abundance.

Our lessons with Luisa have been going really well! She's eager to learn and is always asking for more chapters she can read from the Book of Mormon. She couldn't come to church but has met our Bishop and a lot of ward members so it's just a matter of time before she makes her first covenant with God.

We met many amazing people this week but two to note are the sisters Cricket and Scarlett. We ran into them at a mall and they said they've been looking for a church to be baptized into. We talked for a while, asked if we could help them prepare for their baptism, and they said yes! Both came to church and absolutely loved it. The members took them in so much and helped them feel at home. We're hoping to put them on date this week!! Keep them in your prayers!

We played pickleball bright and early this morning with President and our zone. It was so fun! There is nothing more amazing than being outside while the sun is coming up and the world is still. I'm a big fan.

I always have a hard time choosing which spiritual thought I want to share because every week I learn and love new things. Alma 29:9 has been my motto for the past few days and it says, "I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy." This truly is and has been my joy. I'm grateful for the trust God has in us as insufficient servants to be instruments in bringing his children home. I glory in it!

Our ward mission leader was telling us about upcoming events and mentioned the trunk or treat... you can never start celebrating Halloween too early. Everyone soak up Fall in Utah for me!!!

Week 11

Surprise it's Wednesday. Our pday was switched because we got to go to the temple today!! I miss being able to go to the temple whenever. We're assigned a day every other transfer. This week was one of my favorites so far. The hard parts made it even better which I'll talk more about later. I went on an exchange with Sister Thomas (the new Sister in our zone) and it was awesome! Two little missionaries hanging out all day. She goes home the same transfer as me because I'm assigned 13 so we're in this thing together. We had zone conference and San Clemente had interviews with President/Sister Carter, so I got to see them a lot! Have I mentioned they're the greatest? Wow okay Sunday!! This sounds dramatic but it could've been my favorite day on the mission so far. We had a lesson with a marine named Wetterman on Saturday (which he brought his friend Williamson to) and they both showed up to church the next day! Braden, a marine we taught two weeks ago, also sh...

Hiiii everyone! I love my mission. Update on Cricket is that she's been quite unresponsive what?! Homecoming was this past week and let me tell you the high schools here go ALL OUT for everything- especially dances. So she was really living up the homecoming week, attended a few youth activites (which we didn't know about until after the fact), and therefore did not meet with us. She still wants to get baptized on the 28th which is the funny thing. We were like okay Cricket, in order for you to be prepared for your baptism we need to have at least 5 more lessons because we have so much to teach still. She got the memo but then didn't get the memo and we didn't have a single lesson. In conclusion, baptism is happening but probably getting pushed back which is still a win. Luisa is my favorite. I love her so much. She loves the gospel of Jesus Christ! She's been an amazing example to me of being eager to learn more. We send her lots of chapters/general conference talk...
