Hey everyone!

It seriously was such a crazy week! Sister Miner and I had a lot of meetings nearly every day. We had our mission leadership conference in Tempe so we had a road trip Tuesday and Wednesday. Then we had exchanges with the other Sisters on Thursday and a few meetings Saturday and Sunday. It flew by so fast but I'm also exhausted!
We were still able to see some awesome miracles though. We did a ton of service with people we are teaching as well as someone who was found by other Sisters in the zone so we have a new person to teach! God is so good.(: 
For my spiritual note this week I wanted to actually talk about the beauty of reading hymns. We sing hymns all the time , but how often do we take time to read them? I had a few days that I was struggling this week, but I was reading in this awesome booklet called 'Adjusting to missionary life' and it suggested an idea of reading some hymns. Here is some lyrics from one that really helped me, 
Is your heart faint and sad,
Your soul weary within,
As you toil ’neath your burden of care?
Does the load heavy seem
You are forced now to lift?
Is there no one your burden to share?
Let your heart be not faint
Now the journey’s begun;
There is One who still beckons to you.
So look upward in joy
And take hold of his hand;
He will lead you to heights that are new—
A land holy and pure,
Where all trouble doth end,
And your life shall be free from all sin,
Where no tears shall be shed,
For no sorrows remain.
Take his hand and with him enter in.
I love you all! Never forget that He is always there.

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...

"Testify Before Turned Down" 9/30/19

Hello friends and family! It has been such an amazing week full of crazy stories and cool experiences. I definitely can't share them all because this email would be WAY too long but here are a few! We had zone conference this week and they talked all about how important it is to remember your purpose. Teach off your purpose. Don't become stagnant. And to learn how to stand independent. It was such a good refresher and boost for the start of the week. Wednesday we had exchanges so I was out with the Hermanas in Guadalupe all day! I realized very quickly my 5 years of Spanish I understood 60-70% of everything that was said that day but could do little communicating back. So I learned how to pray in Spanish and have started to read the Book of Mormon in Spanish! I've also already memorized the missionary purpose and first vision. Also may have emailed President how much I loved learning and teaching in Spanish... so we will see where that goes!  Si...

Hello Friends and Family! What a crazy ride it has already been! The MTC is honestly heaven. It is crazy, busy, exciting, and unpredictable. The days are so long but are filled with learning so much about teaching and building our testimonies of Jesus Christ. I can't even express how much my testimony has already grown. The spirit here is indescribable. You really can't help but feel it in every lesson, workshop, and just walking the grounds.  My companion is Sister Wright and she is just AMAZING. We get along so well. She is from Pocatello, Idaho and is going to be serving in Edmonton, Canada! It's crazy how our district is set up. All six Elders are serving in Seattle, 4 sisters are in Detroit, 3 of us are heading to Tempe, and Sister Wright to Canada. But today after our temple visit we found 6 more sisters serving with her so she knows who she'll be heading into the mission field with. So far I have met 6 other sisters serving in Tempe (four out of six ar...
