Week 5: First full week in the field, first soul brought into the fold ❤

Image
Hey y'all! Ahh this week has been FIRE. God is good, he is real, and he loves EACH OF YOU with an eternal and perfect love. Remember who you are, and remember you're not alone ❤ Exchanges Exchanges are when 2 companionships trade companions for 24 hrs and learn from each other. So this week I went into a trio exchange with Sister Devereaux and Sister Black. These missionaries are wise beyond measure. I learned how to navigate Area Book better (the planning app we use). I also learned that it's okay to schedule discussions really close together. This is a joyful message and when people want to learn, we are the instruments in God's hands for him to speak to their hearts! So it's okay to be confident and bold about the gospel. I went into this exchange not thinking I needed it. But God's timing and plan leads us to things we didn't know we needed. Also happy belated ginger day to my exchange girls! COOKIE FIASCO We wanted to make cookies to give to people we v

Week 4: ONE MONTH OUT, SOUTH CAROLINA BOUND

Hey y'all! I'm writing from SOUTH CAROLINA! AHHH! I flew out here on Wednesday, and I love it to pieces already! My pdays are on Mondays now,  so don't worry I'm still keeping up with the weeklies! A lot to say, but kudos to those who read all the way through! STRANDED Sister Horman had some retainer issues the 2 days before we left! We were blessed to squeeze in an appointment. We took a shuttle over to an ortho office. We were really early but they finished so fast! They gave us slushies, and they wanted to know all about us! They get missionaries all the time! The problem was leaving. In the MTC we don't have SIM cards so we can't call. We gave the ortho office the number so we could call the MTC, but something went wrong! After 3 different numbers failing, we gave up. Our master plan was to connect to the Wifi at the ortho office, call our roomies, have them run down to the travel office, and send someone to SAVE US! After 40 minutes we were safely returned

Week 3- Cup songs, broken plates and in the presence of an apostle

ALRIGHT everyone! It's about to get real. Lots of typos and run on sentences. But ahhhh pday is almost over so I gotta rush. TRIO FOR 24 HOURS So sweet Sister Wilde had a medical issue and her district left for their missions. So me and Sis Horman moved over to her room and we were an official trio! Seriously the best. She had an appointment the next day and is headed home for a surgery and will head out for her mission in 4-6 weeks! Please pray for her!  RANDOM ODDS AND ENDS Sister Schmidt had a dream that Elder Allred had no legs on Monday. THEN on FRIDAY at 1 in the morning, his knees swelled up and he had to go to the medical clinic. Yikes that was special. Then Elder Ruff dropped two glass plates in the kitchen. And Elder Buchmiller is addicted to Duolingo. And we chopped Sister Schmidts hair. And the orange juice attacked Elder Summers bladder and he has to stand during class. We also found a note from a previous missionary in the wall and she wrote it on the DAY I opened my
