SOUTHERN CHICK FIL A SLAPS

Hey howdy my people!

This week flew by! Like way too fast. A year and a half is way too short y'all like I love this work more than I love being at home watching netflix. God loves all of his children so much and you're telling me I'm the one that gets to tell them just how much he loves them yeehaw dudes heck yes I'll do that.

Some of the coolest things that happened this week are... Our friend Jasmin is almost ready to get baptized we're praying she gets the answer to her prayers that she's looking for. Our friend Don is FINALLY coming to church! Annnnnd best thing ever this cute family named the Dewberries are on date for baptism! My heart is literally overflowing with joy for these people guys its nutssssssssss ahhhh I love them so much!

One thing I'm learning about the south is that people here aren't as sensitive as back home (no offense homies ily all) but they talk about God and Christ and religion openly and it is so awesome, our waitress at waffle house literally taught us about Christ-like love! I LOVE IT HERE!

Fun fact of the week is that a member taught me that boiling coke will get rid of acid reflux (which can apparently kill you) Also there's a brother in our ward who thinks I'm an absolute awful missionary but God knows I'm trying so its okay!

(Also another fun fact deodorant can give you migraines ask me about it if you're curious)

God really does have a plan for us a literal plan of love! He wants us all to come back and live with him so so so bad and he provided a Savior so that we can! Keep on trying and keep using the atonement!!!

I love y'all! Jesus loves y'all! Have an amazing week!

IM SUNBURNED IN FEBRUARY YESSSSSS

HI Y'ALL!

So I'm a big girl missionary now and I absolutely LOVE IT! I'm in the deep deep south in a small area called Warner-Robins, the people here are some of the kindest people I've ever met in my life and they feed us way too well! My trainer is Sister Gray she is literally me but 3 years older its kinda scary, this is her last transfer so sad day :(

But the people I've met and taught have blown me away! This work is so amazing! I know that the grind is worth it homies like it is honestly so awesome! I haven't been here a week yet and I genuinely don't want time to pass because I love it so much! We got to teach a couple lessons this week and wow so cool! To mtc friends it's a lot different than anything you're expecting! We actually get to start teaching a recent converts mom English! So that should be interesting because she only speaks bermese! So please pray for sister halverson as she learns some bernese! 

The food here is too good I cant get enough and I am gaining weight. We met a new friend this week named chris, he works at Krispy Kreme and has a crush on sister gray sooo we now get free donuts whenever we want he offered us 10 dozen last night! 

Anyways y'all I know that God loves all his children so much it is so evident in everything you see this gospel is literally everywhere! 

Jesus loves you! I love you! Y'all have an amazing week!!

WUT A WEEK

Hello yall!!!

This week was interesting I learned the hard way that living with girls is a lot more dramatic than living with my brothers but ya live and learn I guess!

Other than that this week was truly amazing I got to teach this girl who knows what the bavis dabes were she's a big runner and said she'd always wanted to run for Davis it was crazy! We really bonded and when I bore my testimony about the atonement we were both bawling she's making amazing progress and I'm sad that I have to leave here so soon

3 DAYS until I get to the field! I'm so excited I want to have southern accent so bad bruhhhhhh I'm so pumped!

Thank you to everyone who reached out this week! Yall rock and I love hearing from.you!

Yall are never alone like jesus is always there because he has suffered literally every single thing so we don't have to! He loves you and I do too! Have a killer week love yall!

CRAZIEST WEEK OF MY LIFE

Okay so this was the craziest week of my life like actually, started off normal and great! I love love love the MTC and the amazing gospel that I'm learning how to teach! 

So the first crazy thing that happened: YOUR GIRL IS AN STL basically zone leader for all the sisters it's crazy I have to conduct relief society and visit all the sisters in our zone every night!

I also got to teach soooooo many lessons this week which was awesome I made a new bff named lauren whom I got to teach and were going to be friends when I got home she's committed to baptism so yay!!!

Sister freeman and I are teaching relief society tomorrow but last night was the true adventure so buckle up kids! My comp had a seizure! I've literally never been more terrified in my life scariest thing I've ever experienced and I was at the hospital way too late literally this morning lol she's okay now and our branch president gave her a blessing! It was a crazy experience tho!

I want you to know that God truly does have a plan for us, he has things he wants us to do and knows we will do he loves everyone of his children and wants them to seek peace, I promise you if you're looking for it, that through Christ you can find that peace!

I love you all and love hearing from you!

Love
