KENDAMA'S ARE BACK

Hello hello!!! Welcome to the first of many, I've been at the Provo MTC for about 2 weeks now, and I genuinely love it here!! I meet new people every 5 seconds and it is so fun ahh! I head to Arkansas on Thursday and I'm sooooo excited!


I am in a trio companionship and all of us are going to Bentonville together, yay!! We have gotten so close and they have so much knowledge I love asking them questions about the gospel. I'm so blessed to have started my mission with them at my side! My district is the funniest group of people ever. Even though the food here is terrible, meals are my favoritie part of the day because I always walk out just dying laughing, barely being able to take a breath. And if you know me, my laugh is LOUD. And it makes my district laugh even harder. We go play volleyball or pickleball everyday too and it is such a good time. I have met so many new friends, it will be sad to leave them all on Thursday but I'm super grateful for my time here to learn and grow with so many other missionaries!!


Kendama's have made a comeback and I have never been happier haha. Me and all the elders in my district play all day long. I feel like I'm in 6th grade all over again, it's the best. Definitely gonna be a pro by the time I'm home from my mission hehe


So many people I have met here are fans of wisewordsfromneve (I think my companions are getting sick of taking pictures and being there for my little meet and greets lol). It's so cool meeting people through my platform and it will be so interesting to see how it comes into play when I'm out in the field. Been feeling super grateful lately for that account, words can't even describe it.


Anyway, my testimony of Jesus Christ is skyrocketing and it so cool to see it grow. Elder David A Bednar came and spoke to us on Tuesday and it was such a neat experience, especially because he was the one who played a big part in establishing the church in Bentonville and I will see him again at the dedication of the temple there! I can't wait to get out there and serve others and invite others to come unto Christ! See you in Arkansas :)

OVERWHELMED WITH LOVE

Home!  I am at a loss for words as I write this final email. My mission has refined me and helped me become what God wants me to be. I have never felt such immense love for Jesus Christ. And I have never felt such joy than I have from serving Him. I love my Savior and best friend, Jesus Christ.  As a lot of you know, Arkansas was not my dream mission. Days up until my mission I wondered if this truly was God's plan for me. A year and a half later, and I can say with confidence that I wouldn't trade getting called here for the world. This experience changed my life. The people of Missouri, Arkansas and Kansas hold a special place in my heart forever. I'm so glad I decided to serve.  Nothing beat closing out my mission at Zak's baptism just two days before I left. He shared how God has been his Guide and Jesus has been His light. The spirit was tangible in the room as we sang "teach me to walk in the light".  I have learned so much throughout my mission about Go...

I MADE IT TO ARKANSAS!

Guess what guess what?! After a year on the mission, I'm finally serving in Arkansas!  I was not expecting to leave exile island after 1 transfer, but I guess God knew I couldn't do the lack of socializing for too long haha. Although, I was bummed to leave Sister Sloan... it was too good to be true being back together again. I'm now serving in Pea Ridge, Arkansas! It's so cute! I'm also finishing training a new sister to the mission, Sister Fuller! I live in Bentonville and get to drive past the temple every night yay! The members here are powerful and I'm excited to get to know them!  As I got thinking about being transferred here, I remembered how much I love change. It keeps you on your toes! I love getting to fall in love with a new town, a new people, a new ward, and a new companion! I'm so happy to be here in Arkansas!! Woo Pig! Remember how much God loves you!  Keep L-I-V-I-N!!

LIFE IS GOOD

Hey everyone!  Happy Thanksgiving! This week has been so good! We taught some fun lessons and we are having a blast. I am so grateful!  Watching Colby (who was baptized on November 15th) bless the sacrament this past week was a surreal experience that I'll never forget. This is why I am here. These moments make every bad one worth it. I love this work! Time is flying by! Wow. I've been trying my best to live in the present and just make the most of this last transfer. I saw this quote from Elder Wirthlin that said "worrying about the future creates unhappiness in the present". It couldn't be more true! I'm excited for what is to come but grateful for every second that I have left to wear my Savior's name on my chest. Also, if no one has told you that they are proud of you this week... God is!! He sees you and knows you personally :) Anywayyyyy, I also created a Google photo album for this last transfer so definitely join it for fun flicks from the home str...
