Divine Discontent - 10/28/19

 Hello friends and family! 

What an amazing week! I learned so much and had some of the coolest experiences that have continued to help me grow and develop to being a more worthy tool in Heavenly Father's hands. 
We had some great lessons this week that definitely pushed me. We have a couple that we are teaching that know the Bible in and out. So when we were teaching the Plan of Salvation this week they started asking questions of where they can find the answers in the Bible. What was cool is when I was starting my study that morning I had specifically felt prompted to study Bible verses that would relate to the Plan of Salvation. I was able to use almost every single verse I had studied to provide clarification to all their questions. It was such a blessing. 
We also had an experience that testified to both of us the importance of following the spirit. We were walking through an apartment complex later at night that we had been multiple times before. We went to knock a door and they didnt answer so we decided to take a lap through the complex. Once we started walking Sister Snelgrove said she didnt feel right about being there. Right when she said that I realized that I, too, felt off about being there so we turned around and started walking to the car. As we were walking the feeling just started to grow more and more. I felt so sick to my stomach I knew that we had to get out of there immediately. We got to the car and as Sister Snelgrove says she will back me out (because it's a rule as missionaries to back out of the car) and I looked at her and told her to get in the car. I dont know why but I did not feel comfortable leaving her outside by herself but we backed out and got out of there. Right when we left the feeling was gone. We have no idea what would have happened but we are so grateful we were kept safe. 
This week I read some amazing talks but one that I LOVED was Divine Discontent by Michelle Craig. I invite each of you to read this and see how you can apply it to your life because it is such an inspired talk! My favorite part is when she references the story of Christ feeding the 5000. It starts off with the disciples seeing what they lack. They knew the didnt have enough food to feed the 5000, but they gave what they had to Christ, and HE performed the miracle. We can easily see what we lack. We see what we may fall short in. But we are not required to make up the difference. We just need to give all we have to Jesus Christ and He will make up the rest.
I love you all so much!! I'll attach some pictures from the trunk or treat (the guy that took the picture told us to look exhausted 😂) a picture from decorating cookies with activity day girls, a scary doll thing that I thought was funny, and some fun companion goals we made this transfer. 😊

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 ...
