Sister Brooklyn Palmer South Carolina Columbia Mission 2022-2023

Okee dokee artichokees!! Its been another blessed week over here in South Carolina. Had some tender moments and some testimony-strengthening experiences. Not a lot of huge experiences, and not a super miraculous week. Anywho, all of my progress and trial and improvement is thanks to my glorious Heavenly Father and him leading me. So as you read, know that this is His work coming to pass! The Columbia Temple We had the opportunity to go to the temple as a mission in 3 separate groups over 3 separate days. And OH MY GOODNESS going to the temple as a missionary is such a unique opportunity. We were able to ask questions so many times throughout our time there. The Spirit abounded and I did not want to leave!!! The temple workers had to move us along because we are just soaking up all the peace in the celestial room for as long as we possibly could! I also has the amazing opportunity to do sealings for the first time. Me and Sister Donaldson from my district got to seal sisters to their pa

  Otay, this week was definitely one for the books!

This week was so great and it I just feel so blessed, even though it wasn't the most eventful week. I've definitely learned that the numbers we see have nothing to do with a missionary's work ethic or effectiveness or success. Just standing as a disciple of Christ is success enough for the Lord. As I attempt to share His word the best I can, I have to remember that others still have their agency, and I'm ready to help them continue down the covenant path when they are!  Sister McGhee Appreciation Moment Okay I wanted to take the time to say some things I love about Sister McGhee! 1-She only refers to dogs as doggies. And she will always add that dog to her list of breeds of dogs she'll own in the future. No dog will go unnoticed by her!  2-She is so stinkin' TALENTED. First off she's super competitive and amazing with anything sports related. She also has the cutest handwriting, the cutest style, the cutest hairstyles, and just the cutest FACE. I LOVE HER. 3
