Chapter 8: Life Is Pretty Good!

Happy fall everyone! I hope you all had an incredible week! 
 

This week has been pretty good. The Visitor's Center is still amazing! We were able to give some really fun tours this past week, and it is so nice to share my testimony of the temple so often. 

 
Sean is still the best! His testimony is so strong, and he loves the Gospel so much. We have had some really great lessons with him this past week. One cool story is that we taught him the restoration, and we asked him to pray and ask if Joseph Smith was a prophet and the Book of Mormon is true. Then he said, "oh I already believe in that, but I will pray because you asked me to". We were just like, ok that's awesome! And he is getting baptized on Saturday!! We are so excited! It is amazing to see how the Gospel has transformed his life and given him so much clarity and peace.

 
One other cool thing is that we got to teach Lorelai again! She is the young woman that the family in our ward has been bringing to church. She is so sweet, and she is really open to listening to us. We are excited to keep teaching her, and hopefully she will continue to learn and grow in the gospel. 

 
Other than that, we were able to do some service this week. Which I love doing! It is nice to put on some jeans and do some work. We also had some great member meals this week. I love our members so much! They are so wonderful and welcoming. 

 
Spiritual Thought- I love the quote from General Conference from Elder Sabin that says: "you will never be happier than you are grateful." It is so important to be grateful for what we have, and we are coming up on Thanksgiving so what a perfect time to be start being grateful! This week I invite everyone, myself included, to write down 5 things you are grateful for everyday. I know that as we all do this, we will be happier. 
 

I love you and miss you all! Have a great week! 
 

Love you!

Chapter 66: Merry Christmas!

Image
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!

Image
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...
