ARKANSAUCEY

Tuesday P day whatttt?! 

Anyway, hey everyone! Pea Ridge is the SPOT! The drive to our area everyday is gorgeous, the little gas station we study at is the best, the people here are so fun! Woo Pig!

*Here are some highlights from the past few weeks: 
-finding Sara, who is getting baptized on September 14th! She let us right in about 3 weeks ago and completely fell in love with the gospel! Has a cute golden retriever which is a major plus
-teaching Madison and her family! After losing contact with her for a couple weeks we went over to see how she was doing. A minute into the conversation she says "I had a revelation that I need to be baptized into your church" WOW!
-living in a quad again has been so fun! I haven't lived with other sisters since last november
-playing pickleball and spikeball for hours every P day with the district 
-i'm learning to crochet from a homebound member, she is awesome 

️*Little things I've learned recently:
-missionary efforts are not in vain if you make a positive impact on someone
-worrying about the future creates unhappiness in the present
-everyone has a story
-the best being who ever lived organized a church because individual goodness isn't enough to combat evil and darkness
-the faith and testimony I gain on my mission can endure and strengthen me far in the future. It will even effect my kids 
-He will magnify all we have to give

I hope everyone is doing well! Keep L-I-V-I-N!

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...
