One Month... Tomorrow Or GET ME THE HECK OUT OF HERE (You Pick)

Hey everyone! My P-day got switched to Wednesday for my last week here. But don't worry, it will be back to the normal Tuesday next week.
 

This past week has been crazy. I honestly can't remember everything that happened. But I did have to say goodbye to my district this week, which was sad. But luckily we were able to spend time with them before they left. And I found out that I am pretty good at connect 4. I beat two people in my district, so that was super fun. Anyways *climbs on soapbox* my district is so amazing! They were probably the biggest blessing in my life during the MTC. Their testimonies are so strong, and they helped me strengthen mine throughout the two weeks we spent together. They are all going to be amazing missionaries. I love them all so much! *climbs off soapbox*
 

I started visitor's center training on Thursday last week, and it has been going pretty well. We are focusing on how to connect with people and changing plans to meet their needs. Going along with that, we got the wonderful opportunity to go to temple Square for the day on Saturday. We got put with one of the sisters there, and we were going to be companions for the day. My companion was Sister Toft, and she is just the best! She is from Denmark and is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She was the best at showing me around and being an amazing example of the missionary I hope to be one day. Ahh I just love her! Cool story, we were walking around and we ran into this wonderful older couple. After talking with them, we gave them a Book of Mormon, and they were actually interested in it. It was definitely a miracle. Anyways, we ended the day with Costa Vida, which was also a little miracle after the food I have eaten here at the MTC. 
 

So as my subject line says, tomorrow is my one month mark!! I can't believe it, it is honestly so crazy! Time flies when you are serving the Lord. As it also says, I am so excited to get out of the MTC. It has been great, but I am ready to get to Portland and start my mission. I leave Friday morning at 5:37, and I get to Portland at 12:05. I'm so excited! 
 

Little spiritual thought- I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are so mindful of us. They love us all so much, and they want us to succeed in whatever we are doing. They hear and answer our prayers, and they are always there with arms open ready to comfort us and love us. I love this gospel, and I can't wait to share it with the people in Portland.

Chapter 66: Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope you all had a wonderful day!  We had transfers last week, and my new companion is Sister Hailstone! She is also from Utah, and she is literally so sweet. I have already loved serving with her and experiencing her kind and thoughtful spirit. I am excited to serve with her this transfer, and I know that we will see miracles. And another little fun fact is that this transfer is 7 weeks long, and it is sadly my last transfer which feels so unreal to say. But I am excited to work hard in Glendoveer with Sister Hailstone!  This week, we have been trying to meet with our friends so Sister Hailstone can get introduced to them. And we have had some really amazing lessons with them. We had a wonderful lesson with our friend Mary, and we were able to find out a few of her concerns. Then she came to church on Sunday with her son! It was such a miracle and I am excited to continue to teach her and her son about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  On Thursday...

Chapter 16: Saturday P-Day!

Hey everyone! I was at the Visitors' Center on Tuesday, so I have the rest of my P day today! Since it has been so long, I don't really remember what has happened, but I will share some highlights.  We have a new person that we are teaching! His name is Cooper and he is so cool! Sister Davis found him on exchanges so the first time I met him was at a scripture study group. He is interested in learning more, and we gave him a Book of Mormon!  Also, we stopped by our friend Brian's and we brought one of our members with us and they really hit it off! Hopefully, he will come to church now that he knows somebody. We are keeping our fingers crossed!  Another cool experience, we had a lesson with a super sweet older lady who is the mom of a member. She isn't interested in joining the church, but it was nice to talk with her and learn more about her beliefs. She said we could come back and visit again, so that is awesome!  Spiritual Thought: I am so excited we get to study ...

Chapter 61: Beaverton --> Gresham

Image
Hello everyone! I hope you have all had a great week! We had transfers this past week, so I had to say goodbye to all of our friends and ward members in Beaverton and Summerlake. It was bittersweet, but I am so grateful for all the relationships I have made serving in these two wonderful wards.  I am now serving in Gresham in the Glendoveer ward!! I am companions with Sister Webb! She is super awesome and I am really excited to serve with her. Gresham is on the opposite side of the mission from my last area, so it is really different. But I know that this is where the Lord needs me to be and I am looking forward to all the people I will meet and serve!  I have already been able to meet quite a few of our friends and have lessons with them. Our friend Mary is so sweet, and we were able to have a really good lesson with her about the sacrament and baptism. She has the desire to be baptized, so we are hoping to help her make her first covenant with God soon! We had two lessons wi...
