Halfway Through Transfer Two! 11/11/19

-

 


Hi friends and family!
I hope you have all had an amazing week! This one has been full of ups and downs, lots of walking, and miracles. It is CRAZY that Thanksgiving is so close though, its still in the high 80s here and the lack of snow is throwing me off. 
We walked probably around 50 miles this week. Our car had the check engine light go on and off for a couple days so we took it in. The dealership said if we dropped it off in the morning they would know what was going on in an hour and a half max. Well, 3 days later we get our car back and nothing was wrong! But, all is good. We had a blast walking!
We had some pretty amazing miracles this week that seriously strengthened my testimony. It was around 8 one night and we had a specific person we wanted to visit. So we pulled up the street and started walking to the house. We noticed a man loading a truck across the street so we waved and continued to the house. After a few knocks and no answer we turned to leave. As we walked down the driveway the man across the street walked into the garage so we turned to leave. Just then the spirit VERY loudly said 'Don't even think about leaving without talking to him'. So we stopped and stood on the sidewalk until he walked back out. He asked how we were doing and so I put my arms out and said "We're great! it's always a good day when we get to talk about Jesus!". He immediately opened up and come to find out he had investigated the church in the past and was almost baptized! He talked about memories he had and how much he missed it. Then he said "I think it was meant to be that no one was home at that house so you could talk to me. I think He is talking through you." Ahhh! Bummer part is he doesn't live in our area, but he was really wanting missionaries to come back so we sent him off to the other missionaries! Miracles! 
Sister Snelgrove and I were asked to teach our zone this week on what it means to endure to the end. We are so excited! It is crazy we have wanted more opportunities to teach and connect with members so we taught the young women yesterday, we got asked to teach Relief Society on Nov 24, and Sunday School on Dec 1st. The lesson with the young women went amazing. We taught them how to teach lesson one, The Restoration, because their youth activity this week is all about missionary work. I had this idea for a youth activity and the young women's president loved it! They are getting paired up with a leader or ward missionary then going to different classrooms in the church that will have another ward member and they are going to teach the Restoration! Hopefully it goes well, we will see! 
I love you all so much! The talk for this week is "Are you sleeping through the Restoration?" By Elder Uchtdorf. It is SO good! Have a great week!

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 ...
