118 degrees = sweatballs

Yes you read the title correct, I have biked in 118 degree weather

this past week. And it will just continue to get hotter which is the
awesome part. I feel like a human sweatball... It's not a very
Pretty sight, but hey I'm teaching the gospel so how awesome is that??

This week was pretty good, it went by very quick!! Sister Hansen and I
have become very good friends and I'm thankful for that. It's nice
when you get along so well with your companion because it makes it not
only easier to live with each other but easier to teach together!! She
is such a great missionary and she's only been out 2 weeks!! She's
great and we have so much fun together. :)

On Saturday I went on exchanges with the lovely sister Bauer. She's my
STL (sister training leader) so o was in her area for a day. We were
right by Midwestern university so we were able to talk to a lot of med
students. Their area is great!!! Plus a member took us to get chick
fila for dinner..... It was a beautiful thing.....

On Sunday I was able to bear my testimony. I don't think I've done
that in a long time but it was about time I did. Yesterday morning
before church sister Hansen and I watched a video by Neil L Anderson
and he said to "always have the savior on your lips, testify always of
him". That's what I bore my testimony on. I realized that even being a
missionary I could talk more about our savior. So that's my goal! To
constantly be talking about Christ and trying to be Christ like in
anything and everything I do. I love being on my mission. It's very
very hard sometimes but meeting people and creating those
relationships with those in my ward has been so worth it. It makes me
excited for the future and what I want to do with my life.

I've already been out 4 months..... How crazy is that?? It seems like
just yesterday I left Texas for the MTC. I'm glad I'm gaining
experience by serving heavenly father's children. It truly brings me
so much happiness.

Have a great week, love you all!!!

I love this family!

Training !

Hello everyone!!

Wow, what a week! I found out last Tuesday that I am a trainer! Im
training a new missionary!!! Her name is sister Hansen and she's the
best. She is so ready and prepared and we get along so well! Im
privileged to be able to be her trainer and her companion. Last week
was just a bit stressful for everyone just because we had to go over
so many things and set up technology and get used to the schedule. We
were able to meet and contact referrals and just talk to people in the
street. I think that's one of my favorite things to do, just walk by
someone and stop and talk to them about their lives and about their
day.
We had district meeting on Friday and I gave a discussion on
"adjusting our teaching  to the needs of the investigator". I actually
loved this topic so much because I have a real testimony of it. I
taught that it's important to get to know your investigator, know what
they feel, their concerns and how they react to certain things. We are
taught to teach people and not lessons. This means that we should be
teaching to what that specific person needs to hear. I love getting to
meet new people and love them because of who they are and who they
want to become. By teaching to the investigators needs, it helps me
realize and learn how to be Christlike. It's such a great feeling when
you are trying to help someone for their sake and not for your own. I
think that's why service is so important!
Fun/awkward story of the week.... We received a referral from some
sisters in another mission for a family that was in our area. We
didn't really know anything about them, but we decided to go over and
check it out. We get to their apartment complex, knock on the door and
meet this boy who was probably around my age. We asked if his mom was
home and he said no but to come back the next day. Sister Hansen and I
come back the next day and a girl answers the door and invites us in.
We talked for a little bit, she was from Africa and she knew English
which was nice. Then their mom came into the room and I started to ask
her some questions... She just stared at me and the daughter said she
doesn't speak English. So I asked if we could share a little video. We
shared "because of him" and started to ask questions... The mom and
the daughter went back and forth talking in their native language.
Finally the girl said "my mother doesn't want to hear about your
religion, she just wants a bible that's in keelangi..... I don't think
I spelt that right haha but I was just kinda shocked..... 1. I've
never heard of that language... And 2. I don't even know if they have
that language translated for the bible..... Maybe they do but it was
crazy. So we are currently searching for a bible that is in keelangi
😂
I absolutely love my companion, she is so much fun. We are definitely
going to have a great transfer. I found out that we are going to be
able to go to the temple this Thursday with my old zone. We will go in
the morning and then have lunch at the mission home. I am so excited
for that :)
Miss and love you all. Have the best week ever!!

I done got bit

Hahahahahah. To explain my title.... So last Monday I started feeling

really REALLY sick. My head hurt so bad and my stomach hurt and I was
just like what the heck is wrong with me? Anyways.... The next morning
I looked at my leg and I saw that I had a huge bite on my leg and a
few smaller ones... It honestly just looked like a giant mosquito bite
so I just didn't worry about it too much. Then the next day it started
getting SUPER gross. It looked like a blister and.... Well I won't go
into too much detail about it because it's honestly so disgusting
haha. But if anyone wants to see a picture just ask and I'll send it
to you ;) it's repulsive. So I went to urgent care because the mission
nurse told me to, and I guess it was infected so now I'm on
antibiotics and it's almost gone!! So hurrah!! Fun week!!
It was also really sad :( my companion went home yesterday.... I'm
really excited for her though. I can't wait to hear from her and see
how she's doing!
This week consisted of a lot of goodbyes and tears because sister
Dudley had been in our area for a year!! She did a lot of great work
and I'm really sad to see her go.... Hopefully I can do as good of a
job as she did. But I'm really excited to see who my new companion is
and lead the area!! It's gunna be fun!
We are teaching a few investigators right now. We've gotten a lot of
referrals from LDS.org so we've been going around and meeting them.
It's always so fun to meet new people and hear their stories. Plus,
meeting a new friend is always and exciting thing. I love being able
to do service and care for others. Tomorrow, my district is in charge
of making food for 40 homeless men. We're making them tacos :) we also
went to a thrift store and helped them sort out all of their clothes
and merchandise. While doing that we got to talk with the workers and
they had a lot of questions about the church! It was a cool
experience.
I have a challenge for all of you..... Go borrow a mid calf skirt....
And bike.... All day... Haha it's so difficult. And sometimes it's
hard to do especially if it's windy.... :) but!! It can actually be a
lot of fun and breezy at the same time! Haha. I'm going to be biking
all summer my area, I'm excited.
Have a great week, read your scriptures and do some service. I love you all!!!

It's dark.... But look how cute this dog is!!!! 

Bug Bite

Sorry its so dark! Look at how cute this dog is!

HI!

Hi everyone!!!

I have no time to email this week... My companion is going home next
week and so we want to make some visits around to people in our ward.
I had a really awesome week though! We are teaching 3 people and
hopefully we will be able to teach more this week. I love you all!!
Here's some pictures that have of my week :)

Have a great week!

 This is mo the bear........ We dressed him up as a sister... Because we can 

Mother's Day 2016

This week went by quick! And I'm glad it did because I was able to

skype my momma and family on Sunday :) we had zone conference this
week, that's where part of the mission gets together and hears
President Griffin and a few others speak. I think they had the other
half of the mission the day after that or something. But this
conference we had car inspections.... I learned a lot about how to do
them and about what we need to check in our cars. We then had a
discussion given by our AP's (assistant to the president) and they
talked about how to be more effective in our missionary work. After
that we heard from some other elders, and then we had lunch! After
lunch we sang to everyone who had birthdays in the last couple of
months. When we do that we have everyone sing and then people who
speak different languages sing it in that language. Cool right? So we
had Spanish, French, and a few others.... That I can't remember....
But they were still super awesome!!
This week I was able to see the blessings and opportunities that
Heavenly Father has given to my companion and I. The work in my area
consists of a lot of finding and reactivation. I love it :) so, we
were dropping by to see a less active family and we talked and shared
a message with them. Then I had the feeling that I should fill out a
card and give it to one of the kids who was playing outside. He was
dropping in on our message every once in awhile, so I thought I would
just give him a card with Jesus Christ on it. He took it and gave me a
big smile, then ran to his apartment and gave it to his mom. His mom
came out and she told us that she would like to meet with us! We met
with her on Thursday and invited her to church! You never know who's
ready to hear the gospel, or who needs someone to listen to them.
I've been thinking quite a lot about families. Maybe it's because I
was excited to talk to my family on Mother's Day, but it's a topic
that has been on my mind a lot. We are so blessed to be put into
families, Heavenly Father did this for us so that we can learn and
grow in a loving environment. What else has he given us within the
families? The ability that we have to live as a family forever. For
eternity! I knew this was an important concept but I don't think I
really realized how amazing it was until I came on my mission. (That's
happened a lot haha) we are able to be with our families for eternity!
Not just until we die. I know that I'll be able to be with my family
and those that I love for eternity and I want that for everyone else.
I have been reading a lot of the General Conference talks lately,
especially the priesthood session ones because I wasn't able to see it
live. Today I read about "eternal families" by president Eyring. In it
he talks about the Priesthood and how families can strengthen our
spiritual growth. He quotes:  "The most important of the Lord’s work
that you will ever do will be the work you do within the walls of your
own home. Home Teaching, bishopric’s work, and other Church duties are
all important, but the most important work is within the walls of your
home.”
Be kind and loving to your family. Do service for them and cherish the
time that you have with them. I miss my family and my friends more
than anything, but I know that I'm here for 18 months so that I can
teach people about eternal families. That way they can have their
chance to live together forever. I cannot stress enough how important
families are.
Read that talk by President Erying, you won't regret it :) you can
access it through the gospel library App or on Lds.org !
Love you all, have a great week!!
