Happy Monday Yall!

This week was so great! We taught Jessica again! She is amazing! She read all of first and second nephi and all of Alma before we taught her the second time. We are teaching her the plan of salvation tonight. And Remington is still struggling to receive (well- recognize) his answer. But he is slowing progressing in the right direction! We are also teaching a few foreign students, and the cultural difference is so hard to get past, but they all have a strong desire to find truth! Its so cool! So pray for all of them:)

So my lovely comp (whom I love dearly) ate broccoli for the first time! And I made her try a teeny leaf of cilantro and then her stomach hurt the rest of the day. Im calling the bluff:) but whatevs:) Shes the best even if she doesnt like veggies.

We also went tracting with the elders! Cause I wanted my greenie to see new approaches- so that was interesting. But we all learned from each other! I will probs never do it again tho:) it was just weird.

Love yall!!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY YALL!!!! Shout out to all the wonderful fathers everywhere!

This week was amazing! We just found out about transfers and both me and sister hanson are staying!! I am so happy! We have too much fun:)

We have seen so many cool miracles this week! We started teaching Josh, and he comes from a tough background, and is curious about this gospel! I am so excited to see the power of Jesus Christ flow into His life and help heal him as he progresses. We are also teaching a girl named Jessica, who wanted to know why we believe the way we do. We were able to share our testimonies and the spirit was so strong! We are excited for Stillwater in the next 6 weeks! We know there are great things that await us here!

Love yall! Hope ya have a great week!

Happy Monday!!

This week was amazing! I wish I could describe to yall the incredible spirit that was with us this week. We had a mission conference, and Elder Echo Hawk (a seventy) and his wife came and spoke. I was able to receive exactly what I needed. And I feel like my spiritual horizons have just become unlimited! I thought for a quick minute that I had done pretty much all my growing on my mission and now I was just gonna use that to convert people. Thats definitely not true. The growth never ends!

Well, we didnt do any crazy stuff this week like dance in the rain with rats or have to catch lizards (like hannah) and we definitely didnt see anyone who was naked (like mckay). Sorry. But me and Sister Hanson are best friends:) and when you are with a best friend, life is just good and happy.

I know that Christ lives, that He is there for us, that He is going to help us if we let Him. Romans 8:31 says, If God be for us, who can prevail against us?" My prayer is that we will forever let Him be for us, because then nothing can stand in our way. We can trust Him, we can have hope in Him, we can live and be happy and not have to feel empty with the Savior.

Love yall, hope ya have a great week!!!

Hello!!! This week has been so great! More and more people are coming back to campus, so thats been exciting! Weekends are a little rough cause there are like zero people on campus, but then we just get to talk to literally every single person we see!

We had such a cool experience this week! We needed to find new solid investigators, and so we were sitting on our porch swing finishing up companion study and decided that it was time we find some new people to teach. So we said a prayer, and then started walking to campus. And we talked to this girl named Aaliyah! Shes so cute and so prepared! And the next time we met with her she said she had been going through a hard time and last week had started to read her bible and pray and that she knew meeting us wasn't a coincidence! We will let yall know how she progresses!!

We are going rock climbing today as a zone! Ill send pics next week hopefully hah:)

Love yall!!

mouse attack!!!

This week was so wonderful:) It is definitely getting warmer here:) and more humid, but I love it! I am just getting some awesome tan lines! We are biking everyday and I don't think Ive ever been more exhausted in my whole life, but I wouldn't change it for the world. The work we are doing is so worth it!

So this week we saw a mouse run across our floor!! So we put out a trap and put a huge dollop peanut butter on it. And over the next few days we didn't catch anything- but we definitely started noticing the peanut butter was disappearing! And then we put a goldfish cracker on the trap and the next day it was gone! So here we are, trying to catch this thing, and really we are just feeding it. So gross. So we got a sticky trap today. Hopefully that works. But so gross right?

Recently I have been studying the conference talks, and one of Elder Eyring's talks about peace has this wonderful quote in it, "You will at times have your faith challenged by Satan; it happens to all disciples of Jesus Christ. Your defense against these attacks is to keep the Holy Ghost as your companion. The Spirit will speak peace to your soul. He will urge you forward in faith. And He will bring back the memory of those times when you felt the light and the love of Jesus Christ." Keeping the Holy Ghost with us at all times will help us to remember. When we forget, we become like all the people in the Book of Mormon that missionaries preach to. So just remember all the tender mercies He has shown us- because this gospel is so true.

Love yall!!! Have a great week!!!

Hey Friends!

This week was so much fun!! I cant even tell you how much we have laughed the past couple of weeks together:) I love sister Hanson!

We were able to help out with the special Olympics this past week, and we had a blast! The theme was Sailing for the Gold (so pirates) and the community could see us, so we got even more opportunities to do service later in the summer!

Remington is doing well- he loves the gospel, just needs spiritual witness that this is true (which he has already had a million times so now he needs to recognize it!). We met a new guy named buddy- and he is hilarious! he comes from a tough background, but is so chill and came to church! So pray for them:)

Hope yall have a great week!!

This week has been so great! I love my little grean bean:) Shes just the best! We have been doing a lot of biking and a lot of role playing:) 

2 Nephi 9

50 Come, my brethren, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters; and he that hath no money, come buy and eat; yea, come buy wine and milk without money and without price.

God doesn't care where we are at in our lives. He bids us to come to Him. We can choose to continue to be parched and without water, or we can choose Christ, and be forever satisfied. He doesn't ask much, just for us to try. His love us endless and all encompassing. 

I love yall! So great to talk to yall yesterday! Keep reading the Book of Mormon every day!
