  I know that's a corny line but I just had to say it but also because IT'S TRUE!!!!! Wow, my emotions are all over the place and I will look back on the experiences from my mission for the rest of my life!!! This is such a bittersweet moment but I am excited for the next part of my life, but I also L O V E  being a missionary, but also I wanna go snowbiking, but there is nothing like serving a mission and I want to stay forever....you feel me? I will be returning home from my mission   next Thursday   and my homecoming talk will be   Sunday January 1st at 11AM !!!!!πŸ’“ AHHHHHH !!!! These last few weeks have been absolutely incredible and I have seen God's hand more than I ever have before. Miracle upon miracle has been right in front of our eyes and we have found some absolutely incredible people who are so ready to receive the gospel. About two weeks ago, we met this lady who had been praying for a church and she literally wrote on her whiteboard in her house "...

LET'S GOOOOOOOπŸ₯³πŸ₯³ πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³We were companions exactly one year ago and she gets to be my last companion and there are absolutely zero complaints! We are so so excited to be serving together again and she is one of the most intune people with the Spirit I have ever met. She is incredible and pushes me to be better!  The last two weeks of the transfer Hermana Tait and I were blitzing our hearts out and it was so fun!!!! For those who don't know, a blitz is where we switch companions with another companionship for a few hours and work in their area together! I don't know how many of those we did but it ...

wowowow miracles and amazing things happening here!!!! as always I am absolutely loving serving in the Lake Houston YSA and I love these people here with my whole heart. like my whole heart! we had such a Spirit filled fast and testimony meeting yesterday and we had three of our friends there to experience it with us! For our small branch, that is amazing and we are so excited to have them keep coming!!!! 😊 we have been able to work a lot with the sisters these last few weeks and they fill my cup. they bring me such joy and their passion and dedication to missionary work blows me away every day. God needs them here and I truly have been able to feel a small portion of the love He has for them! Hermana Tait and I have been doing some street contacting on the college campuses in our area and I have LOVED doing that!!!! people are so fun and I have loved approaching random people and talking with them about God! That's the thing about Texas...anyone will talk to you about God and tel...

  Π‘Π°ΠΉΠ½ ΡƒΡƒ I am going to start a game with everyone on here! Each week I write an email I am going to say 'HELLO' in a different language and whoever can guess the language (WITHOUT GOOGLING IT) will win for the week! I am a poor missionary and 1,800 miles away from most of you so there aren't any prizes but you can buy yourself some ice cream if you win and just imagine I bought it for you! :'> We are about half way through the transfer right now and so much happened and we truly are seeing mircles here in the Lake Houston YSA Branch! This last week we had mission tour which is where Hermana Tait and I travel to the other side of the mission for the week and spend it with the sisters on the East side! This is a very bias comment but I am pretty sure we have the best sister missionaries..just sayin! Their testimonies of the Savior are incredible and even though they all have their own struggles, they are choosing to involve their Heavenly Father and push through with ...

Pure Joy!

  HEY HEY HEY!!!!πŸ™Œ I am so sorry I realized it's been a whole transfer (6 weeks) since I've sent out an email!!!! I think it's only been about a week and then I check and it's been 6! I'll be better at updating yall for the last 12 weeks of my mission! I promise I'll be better!!!!! We found out transfer news  Sunday night and Hermana Tait and I get to stay together! YIPEEEEEEE!!! We are so so excited!!!!πŸ₯³ This transfer has been full of SO MUCH that I'm not sure I will be able to compose it all! It has been a transfer full of W O R K and I could not be more happy to be here on a mission and in this assignment! Being Ministering Sister has been the BEST ever and I adore every single sister missionary here. They have been teaching ME so many valuable lessons and they truly help me stay focused on what is truly important, and that is the Savior. We have been able to travel the mission and spend time with each companionship and it has been such a blessing and p...

We actually lived together in Channelview and now we are companions! BEST DAY EVER! WHOOP WHOOP!!!!!! I ADORE her and I am SO EXCITED to he her companion!!!!! I have a new assignment in the mission where my companion and I are over ALL the sisters in the mission and it is so wild. like so wild.

  hello everyone!!!πŸ‘‹πŸŒŠ so much has happened this transfer and I can't believe we are already on the last week of it! This time next week I could be staying another 6 weeks here or I could be getting moved! WHO KNOWS! I am excited to see where the Lord needs me and where I will end up!  This transfer has been an interesting one to say the least. It has been H A R D in so many different ways but we just put our heads down and kept on plowing through. We had to basically do a full 180 flip on the people we are currently teaching and there has been quite a bit of heartache there for sure but there have also been many miracles we have seen! I guess the hardest thing about serving a mission for me is loving people so much. I would have never thought it would have been but It takes one visit and I am so invested in their lives and their spiritual well being that when they don't accept the restored gospel my heart is sad. And it's all because I know the gospel can change their liv...
