TACO BELL LESSONS

Very very busy last couple of weeks!! Our momentum took a turn for the worst on Monday, because I tested positive for Covid. Now we are quarantined until Saturday, which SUCKS! I've been really sick too, losing all my energy every time I get out of bed. It has not been fun.

But let me tell you, I have been getting FRAJAS! Aka Free Baja Blasts (my Aggie friends know whats up). There is a guy we met knocking on doors at this sketchy motel and he was in a rush to get to work but said he was interested. We got talking and turns out he works at the Mexican food mecca of the world... Taco Bell! ;) We have been teaching him at work and he promised us "free Baja Blasts for life". I love our Taco Bell lessons with John! 

We are teaching this guy from Turkey named Enver and he is AWESOME!!! We also teach him at work! In between waiting tables, he will run outside and we will teach him for a few minutes and then he runs back in. Unlike most people out here, he doesn't know much about God. It's been cool to teach the basic principles!! He hasn't prayed in over 10 years but when he found out I got Covid he said "I will pray Sister Pratt gets feeling better". I LOVE HIM!!

We keep having to push back the baptism dates of our friends because they just can't give up the cigarettes. Donna is almost halfway done with the Book of Mormon, and could get baptized tomorrow if she wasn't smoking. If anyone has advice for me I would greatly appreciate it haha!

I love hearing from you all! Getting your messages and emails make my day! Keep L-I-V-I-N! God loves you!!

OVERWHELMED WITH LOVE

Image
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...
