Jan. 7 2019

Hello EVERYONE!! 

I hope you all had a wonderful new years! 2019 has already been pretty great! Here are the highlights: 

So N and her kids and doing amazing!! They are still on baptismal date for Feb. 23rd. A while ago we taught them the Word of wisdom and N has stopped smoking!! So that was awesome! It was so funny when we were teaching the Word of wisdom D was drinking a cup of coffee and he over heard that we couldn't drink coffee. And so he with his full cup of coffee he went into the kitchen and dumped it all in the sink. It was so neat and funny! 

The S kids are doing so good! They are on baptismal date for Jan. 26th. So we are super excited about that. They are such amazing kids! Part member families is the way to go! 😊 

We also did a lot of door knocking! And we met some amazing people!! 

So first we wanted to see some less actives but we both thought that we should door knock around the area instead. And so the second door that we knocked on we met T and J. A son and mother. We were talking to T first. And we talked to him for a good 20ish minutes. And the his mom came out and started talking to us. And they both seemed interested in our message. We gave them a Book of Mormon and our number and they gave us their number and we set up an appointment to see them on Tuesday! 

And then on Friday while we were doing weekly planning I had a feeling to go see a referral that we received a long time ago and that we haven't seen in a while. We went to her house and she wasn't home! So we decided to door knock around her house. And we met some amazing people. One of them was F.  She was walking into her house and we stopped her and told her who we were. She said that she is always interested in learning new things. We exchanged contact information. And we texted her and set up an appointment to also see her on Tuesday! So that was amazing!! 

And another amazing person we met while door knocking was A. He is hilarious!! He is a total gander. He was telling us really cool stories and telling us about himself. He said that he would love to meet with us. And he said that he wants his friends to join as well. So we will be getting in touch with him soon!! 

So yeah, this week was pretty AMAZING!! I am loving this work so much! And I can't wait to work so hard for these last 6 months. There is seriously no other place I'd rather be. 

Love you all! Thanks for all the love and support!

Hello everyone! 

I hope you all had a very merry Christmas! I know I did!! I am so grateful that I was able to Skype my family. I love them all so much!! Anyway here are the highlights from the week! 

On Monday was Christmas eve! For dinner we went to the M's and had some amazing, delicious tamales! Everyone from the ward was there! It was a lot of fun. After that we went door knocking for an hour. It was actually kinda fun. And we talked to some really nice people.

Tuesday was Christmas. We had lunch with the N family. It was SO MUCH FUN! We had some really fun conversations and she gave us some really fun gifts. We also took some really fun pictures as well. I will attach some pics.

 Sister Martin and I wanted to buy some roses and hand them out to some people. But no stores were open so that was a bummer :( and then I talked to my family!!! And that was the highlight of my Christmas! I've come to love and appreciate my family a lot more! Love you guys! ❤ 

  We thought we would go to a gas station to see if there would be any Roses, nope Haha! But we talked to the person working there for a little bit. And we gave her a light the world card and told her to call us if she needed anything.

We then had a feeling to go to a member's house. So we did. And they let us right in. Right when we went in Sister W asked us if we wanted some pumpkin pie. So we ate some pumpkin pie and talked to Brother and Sister W and their daughter L. We also shared with them a spiritual thought. It was so much fun. Before we left they told us how much they appreciated us coming.

 They are serving in the west branch so that's why we never see them at church. They told us that it feels like people have forgotten about them so they said it meant a lot that we came. We then had dinner with D and her family. Amazing food. It was so good!! We had some fun conversations. And I am just beyond grateful for D and her cute family! Seriously BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!!!

On Wednesday we bought 2 dozen roses. We wrote a spiritual thought on a piece of paper. With the lighttheworld cards on them and in the spiritual thought it said that no matter the time of year, even if it's not Christmas to always remember Christ! We went downtown and handed out 10 Roses downtown. And then the rest of the Roses we gave to less actives in the ward. It was so much fun. 

On Thursday we had a lesson with D. I don't know if I ever told you how we met Dl. We met him at the human library. And we gave him our number. And ever since then he kept in contact. And then he started to show interest. We taught him a couple of times now. We put Dl on baptismal date for Feb. 2. He seemed really excited about it! So that was exciting. 

And we also met with D and the M family. And they are all doing good 😊

On Friday we had district council and interviews with President Brennan. I know I say it every time. But President Brennan is amazing!!! I always walk out of interviews with an overwhelming feeling of the spirit. 

And then we met with N. We made a calendar for her that shows her her baptismal plan. She seemed super excited about it. I have seriously seen a change in her since we've started to meet with her! I seriously love her so much!! 

On Saturday we met with M! Oh how I love and adore her. We taught her the 4th article of faith. And a way we helped her memorize it is:we made some hand signals so she could remember. It was so much fun! 

 Yesterday was a good day! First off it was our first 2nd hour block. We had 8 people who we are teaching come to church. And then at church a returning member V, her two kids H and S wanted to be baptized! So that was amazing!

After church there was a baptism for an 8 year old. We stayed after with D and her family and they watched the baptism. It was really cool to have them there. 

Afterwards we met with N and her 3 kids. Her kids said that they all wanted to be baptized! At the end of the lesson N's son C said the closing prayer. And as he did that I teared up a little bit. Nothing is better than hearing someone who you are teaching pray. The spirit was definitely there. After that V's other daughter Lout of no where said she wanted to be baptized too!! So we put her, H and S on baptismal date for Jan. 26th. So now in total we have 8 people on baptismal date. Sister Martin and I freaked out after the lesson! We are both just so happy!! 

Sorry for the long email! So many good things happen that it was too good to not share!! I am super happy and I am so grateful for 2018 and what it brought me! Happy new years!! Love you all!

Hello everyone! 

We are no longer a trio which is really sad! I said bye to my best friend Sister Anderson. She was transferred to MSU to be an STL! She'll do amazing though! 

Other than that this week was good! Here are the highlights: 

Thursday we had zone conference. It was the best zone conference ever! We had lots of musical numbers and the spirit was just so strong! My district and I did a musical number is was really fun! 

Friday night we met with N, she is doing really good! She says that everything is making sense and that she feels happier! 

That same night we went to the ward Christmas party and that was a lot of fun! We had some less actives come and D came as well so that was awesome!! 

Saturday we did a service project at B's house. We cleaned his backyard and basement he even gave us full on suits and masks. It was a lot of fun! And then after that we quickly went to our apartment got ready and dressed and then went to the mall to wrap some Christmas presents. That was a lot of fun!! We talked to some really nice people and it was a great way to light the community! 

On Sunday N said that she wanted to join the church. She just said how happy she was when she saw her kids there and how happy they were and she loves how there is no negativity there. She just started to cry! It was an amazing experience!

And yesterday we helped a less active in our ward, Sister D wrap some gifts. It was so much fun. I seriously love serving so much. And just seeing the look on Sister D's face made it worth it. I truly have felt God's perfect love for her!

I love being on a mission I've never been happier! I love the people of Michigan! And I am happy!!! Thank you all for the love and support!! Love you all!

Hello everyone! 

 N and her family again came to church. We had a total of 10 people at church yesterday. 5 if them are people that we are currently teaching! So that was amazing!!! 

It was also Sister Martin's birthday just last Wednesday!  Sister Anderson and I decorated her desk and made her breakfast- we went all out. I love Sister Martin! She is an amazing example to me of Christ-like love! I love that she loves this work! She is amazing! 

I am loving the new LightTheWorld initiative! It's even more special while I am out here on my mission! We've been doing lots more service and handing out cookies to less actives and members of the ward who are sick and the people we are teaching! I just love serving! I remember in my patriarchal blessing it says something like I will enjoy doing small acts of service. That is so true!! I love it because I am able to forget myself and go to work and to feel the christ-like love for the people here in Michigan! 

I have also officially been out for 10 months!! What the heck! That went my so so so fast! I am excited to make the most out of my last 7 months!! 

I love you all! Thank you for all the prayers and love and support! I can feel them all! Happy holidays!
