Last day in the MTC - 9/9/19

Hello family and friends!

Well, time flew by, I am heading to Arizona tomorrow morning! I am so excited to get there and to meet my Mission President, his wife, my trainer, really just everyone. I came down with a nasty cold though so any and all prayers would be so greatly appreciated!!

I don't have much time to write since today is comprised of classes, packing, doing laundry, and cleaning, ill keep this short and sweet. :) 

Faith is the foundation of literally every principle in the gospel. If you've ever read Preach My Gospel, I don't think there is a single lesson, chapter, or maybe even page that doesn't talk about how vital and necessary faith is. Faith is a principle of action. These actions include praying, reading scriptures, going to church, attending the temple, etc. Faith is required in our own personal conversion. Without it, there would be no progress made in this life. I find that as I study about daily repentance (following after the example of my dad (: ...  )  that faith is also necessary for repentance. Never forget how often you act in faith. Ask yourself, what does faith mean to me? How have I used faith today? Never forget how vital it is to read our scriptures and pray each day. It is the foundation of our testimonies and the foundation to build off of. 

I love you all so much! 

PS here are some fun pictures with my companion and district!





Hello family!
Just had to let you know I made it safe to Arizona. It is HOT. We landed around 12 and were immediately greeted by our Mission President and his wife. We took a few pictures, went to the Gilbert temple, took more pictures, then headed to ASU to proselyte and hand out copies of the Book of Mormon. We handed out two and one guy was interested in attending church! there were plenty of rejections but I'm following the advice of my teacher and embracing the awkward! 
We have been going since 3:45 this morning so were all pretty exhausted. Not only to finish up packing but then we were waiting for the bus in the rain for 15 minutes, rode that to the train that we were on for an hour, then another train for 20 minutes, then a plane for an hour and a half, then picked up and in the car for 45 minutes between ASU and back, now were in training. :) but I had a great conversation about God and Jesus Christ with the man sitting next to me on the plane. I am so excited for this work, I cant wait to put my whole heart and soul into this. 

Anyways, just want you all to know I'm safe, sound, and sweating. :) haha! Love you all!!

18 Lessons in 18 Months❤ 3/8/21

  1. God's timing is perfect. Y'all we have absolutely no idea how detailed His timing is. He is working on things right now that won't be applicable until 30 years from now but when it all unfolds, it'll be a miracle to everyone involved. He is so aware. 2. His grace is and always will be sufficient. 3. Arizona sunsets are UNBEATABLE. 4. There is beauty in opposition. That is the time you come to know God and see Him the way you can see the galaxies in the dark. 5. There is a reality of angels all around us. He never leaves us comfortless and that comfort comes in a variety of ways.  6. True humility is never something negative. We don't lower ourselves to be humble. True humility comes only once we see our potential.  7. Scorpions are the scariest things on planet earth. Don't even try to change my mind they are so scary and definitely of the devil. 8. It is OK to not be ok. There is power in acknowledgment. What matters is how you move forward, but give yours...

  Hi friends and family!  I hope you're all doing well. It has been a crazy week with getting Sister Dorsey sent off and readjusting back to just Sister Miner and I. We have also had some great success and awesome lessons. Outside of that we have started making more ukulele videos and got into coloring in our backyard for outside time. New activities have helped me really stay sane. :)  It is crazy to think that I will be in Phoenix for 4 1/2 months this transfer, and that I will hit halfway through my mission. Time is actually speeding up and it scares me to think how quickly the mission is flying! But during our Sunday sacrament service yesterday a member asked a question that I have really reflected on. "Do you think that you will be a different person after you get home from what you learned from the mission?" This question is asked a lot, but for whatever reason it hit me more this time. Will I choose to be a different person from what I experience on my mission? I c...

Week 2 in the MTC - 9/3/19

Hello friends and family!  First, thank you so much for all the emails it means so much to hear from you all! I am so sorry for not getting back to everyone time just flies on P days but please keep sending messages and I promise I'll get back to them as soon as I can! Well, officially one week from right now I'll be in Arizona, crazy! But I can't wait. Even in these short weeks, I have had such an increase in the desire to go and share the message of the restored gospel. I just want everyone to hear it and know how much it can bless their lives! Sister Wright and I have had so much fun teaching our assigned people here and have learned vital principles in how to teach. We work so well together I'm so sad we only have a few days left together!  This week in my personal study I was reading through a few general conference talks and after a few clicks found myself reading a message from the Ensign by Elder Ballard titled, "Now is the Time". I was so ...
