1/2 month down!!!!

Hey everyone!! half a month down!! crazy stuff. I am so glad to hear about all the moisture and to hear that you are all doing well. thank you so much for the emails and letters!! i love hearing from you guys.

So this week was pretty good. Its hard but hearing the blessings its already bringing is 110% worth every minute. i love it!! I loved hearing my familys voice on mothers day! that was so awesome! So to all the moms, happy late mothers day!! <3 I saw 3 of my UVU classmates and ward people so that was really cool!! We had 2 investigators last week and committed one to baptism (whew whew) and the other to considering baptism and working towards it. It was awesome because one was very skeptic about praying, she didnt like feeling, and we could not get her to pray so we kept teaching her from the Book of Mormon that God answers prayers and right as we thought she wasnt progressing, she said that she had prayed and started crying about the feeling that she knew God was listening and loved her. So we literally went from not praying to considering baptism. The Spirit is an amazing tool in our lives, holy moly.

We got our flight plans and we leave TUESDAY for Canada!!! we leave at 3:30 inthe morningand stop in Seattle so i am SO excited for that. I love it here at the MTC and the Spirit is so cool. We got to hear from Elder Weatherford of the Seventy and we get to listen to another general authority tonight. Soi am so excited to see who it is. One more story real quick. We had this investigator and the first and only thing we saidduring the lesson was "tell us about you :)" she talkedfor 45 minutes straight about her life story. I was getting nervous because we hadnt even prayed or started a lesson. But i got the strongest feeling that if the Savior was sitting by me, he would simply just listen. Even though we didnt get a word in until the end, the Spirit was so amazing. She told us at the end that our meeting was exactly what she needed and she knew she had come to the right place because we had just listened and she knew we cared. We bore testimony of Gods love for all of us and for her and she started crying and ahh.. it was such a good experience. We are the only district in our zone and it was so sad when the district above us left. In one of my pictures is a polaroid picture that is captioned BFF... thats Sister Archibald and she is the most amazing and hilarious person ive ever met. Besides Rev, KC, and my sister...Sister Archibald will always be my "BFF". Her story is amazing and something that sums up her testimony is John14:18! That scripture is so awesome.

Theres so much to say but I hope that out of my letters you guys know that i love and appreciate you all so so so very much. I know this Church is the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and we can come closer to him by following his example!! I love you!! talk to you next week when i am in Canada :) :)

PS..im sending this now but will be back on here this afternoon. :)

Hey everyone!!! I hope that everyone has been doing great and has had an amazing week :)  This week has been great here in Beaumont :)) Beaumont is actually the 5th fastest growing town/city here in the whole country of Canada so that's cool! But we were able to drive out for a little bit and do some service in this awesome greenhouse!! it was so much fun to be there in the country and help this woman with all her flowers! It was awesome because in church we were talking about the three gardens that have added purpose to this life: Garden of Eden, Garden of Gethsemane, and Garden of the Empty tomb. So every time I see a person's garden, I'm reminded of those three life changing gardens in our own life <3 this week really picked up the pace for the work here and it was so awesome to see the Lord's hand in His work. We have a new investigator and we committed her to baptism! She is so awesome and is truly one of those that are prepared for us. I'm so excited t...

hi everyone!!! I hope that you have all had a great week and are safe from all these natural disasters!  This last week was good :) it was very busy and its going to get even more busy with the 2 baptisms coming up this weekend and 12 preset appointments we have. Its going to be a fun week! Our investigators are doing great and we are so pumped for this next Saturday!!! so life is good for everyone :) nothing really crazy happened this week. We have really grown close to the woman in the hospital and it was so cool to see how much she has grown. The first time we visited her, she was hiding the Book of Mormon around her roommates and was embarrassed of her religion. This last time we went and visited her, she had us bring extra copies of the Book of Mormon so she could write her testimony in them and give it to them! It was so awesome :)) I am so sorry but I really cant remember what even happened this week so here are some pictures. Oh we had Zone Conference!! That...

Happy 4th of July everyone! I'll try to keep some of the Star Spangled Banner in my mind today but after this weekend, O Canada is engraven in my head forever.   😂 Transfers came and I'm staying here in Beaumont and getting a new companion!!! Her name is Sister Patsy so I am so excited to get to know her and see her tomorrow!! :) :)) :) ):)) This week flew by. Time always flies!  We had a very busy weekend with Canada Day!! We were able to go to our wards pancake breakfast and a lot of the community came. It was a really neat experience to be there for their flag raising and all of their festivities. At the pancake breakfast, we noticed this family that we had knocked on their door. When we knocked on their door, we started going into a little discussion and nothing came out of it. Well they were there!!! At the pancake breakfast!!! And they recognized us and they started asking more and more questions and we taught them the first lesson right then and there in the m...
