Week 52

Transfers😔 rip to the legend sister booth🙏⚰️💀💐 that was hands down the saddest transfer day of my entire mission. I did NOT want to leave her🥺 this past transfer had been so much fun, I've never had a transfer where I looked forward to every. single. day. Sister Booth is the type of missionary that I aspire to be!! I miss her tons🥺 I'm no longer in a trio, so now I have fomo, buts it's ok , I'll survive haha.
BUT my new companion is amazing!! Her name is sister Stevens and she is from bountiful Utah and she is approaching the end of her mission in the next few months. She is the definition of a hard worker and there have already been so many miracles from it.
We went knocking doors one day (which is usually never successful) and we had a prompting to go to this really nice huge neighborhood. Usually we like going to the sketchy trailer parks, but for some reason we felt to go to the opposite. We met Chase and Hailey who didn't grow up religious but were super willing to have us back, and even asked for a copy of the Book of Mormon, Nick just moved here and is looking for a church, Amanda and Maurice were very open to a message about Christ and said we could come over any day, and Christian and Sarah who recently moved here with their 3 kids and said they can always make time for God. It was crazy!! It was super reviving to find new people to teach cuz I was getting pretty burned out being in the same area for this long. Definitely a tender mercy!
Im just so excited to not only see the miracles that god is going to work in the next few weeks, but be a part of them! It's really special getting to watch people slowly comprehend the gospel and the restoration. The thing that I've come to realize is the urgency of sharing the gospel. Sometimes YOU are the only chance that someone else will get to hear the gospel in this life. That is a huge responsibility, so prove to God that he can trust you enough to send people your way that need to hear about the true restored church. We are God's hands!!! 💪

Week 40

Not a lot happened this week, but it was supposed to be transfers, except for that I'm staying!! Side note, Sister Garbett's new companion (named sister Phillips) is SO awesome!! We actually have a lot in common and we have mutual friends from BYU and high school! Our little sisters are also so similar which is crazy, we both pulled up a picture and their outfits were almost the same hahaha.  But anyways, here are some cool things that I learned this week: --> Always always always follow promptings (if it's a good prompting, cuz if it's good, it's from God). Promptings are gateways for God to work miracles in our lives, but we have to act first. I'm still working on that, but I've seen it give me so much more confidence in the work I'm doing cuz I know that I'm not doing it alone:) --> Make friends and don't be afraid to share the gospel. When friendship comes first, sharing the gospel is a lot easier. That's one downfall with missionar...

Week 66

Hello everyone!! Happy late Easter! I hope everyone had an amazing Sunday, cuz I sure did!! Holidays on the mission are a little hard (for me at least), but this one was actually pretty good! The church service was amazing and it was PACKED. I felt like I was back in a Utah ward because there were so many people! Here are some reasons it was a great easter: Some friends we are teaching came to church! Donna who is a somewhat lonely older lady came and wore one of sister chan's dresses and she cried during the service and even sang one of the songs, which was huge. Donna is going through a lot right now, but I think she felt a moment of peace when she was at church.  Afterwards we went to the Gildays (a member that I'm close with ) to have lunch and a little scripture study. Isabel was there and that was fun hehe her and I are crazy. I don't know if I've "introduced" Isabel, but she is 19 and was just baptized in January. She moved here and almost i...

Week 74

Alrighty, here I am again. This was MIRACLE filled week. It had its ups and downs, but I'm going to focus on the ups! So first of all, the big miracle is James!!! This has got to be the most prepared person I have ever met on my entire mission! Not an exaggeration! I can't remember exactly what I've said about him in the past, so here's a little summary. We were walking around a neighborhood last Sunday after church and we decided to knock his door. He was really nice, so we came back on Tuesday to do a Bible study. Then we lost contact with him for the rest of the week. BUT he showed up to church on Sunday!!! We were so shocked!! Then he came to church AGAIN and he had read all the way up to Jacob, and he knew everything about the saints leaving to Utah, their history, everything about Joseph Smith and Emma Smith, and a bunch of other random facts! He said he knew Joseph Smith was called of God and he never wanted to stop coming to our church because he said it feels ...
