9 Months & Working With Inactives W39

Image
Hello!!! Such a good week!! So many cool miracles and exciting news.      IT'S MY 9 MONTHS TODAY!!!! First off, after 6 months in Crestwood I am now leaving:/ I am headed to Owensboro Kentucky with my MTC comp SISTER EBERT. I could not be more thrilled. Best case scenario. So, if anybody remembers 9 months ago when me and Sister Ebert got here, she got assigned Karen speaking. We were devastated because our president said she would be there her whole mission and we knew our chance of being comps was gone. Well turns out things didn't work out as our president thought and he said now I'm going to join her in Owensboro. Get this! I have to learn Karen (not Korean). I'll tell you more about it next week. Wish me luck. I thought English was hard enough for me and now I'm going to be having language study on my mission!!     Here are some cool miracles where God put us in the right place at the right time. This story is similar to Elder Soares that he gave in general...

Flat tires & Family Reunions

Image
Heyy!!! This has been a very wholesome week! We had the best Easter and I love holidays out on the mission. So many good things happened, and I felt so much joy! I found my 2nd cousin out here in Kentucky! Her name is Naoma Eastly, and the first time I met her she told me her Grandma was a Robbins and grew up in Pleasant Grove! We did some family tree, and we are 2nd cousins:))  Apparently, I sing. I got asked to sing at zone conference. Not a solo but in a group. My family always makes fun of me because I would never sing in front of anyone. I have been mouthing songs since I was 8. Well, I'm proving them wrong now. Watch out everyone. I also got my first flat this week I hope you are proud of me, dad. We were at soccer night and realized our tire was flat, so we put the spare on, and it looked hilarious. Nothing like switching tires on a company car. Luckily, I didn't get in too much trouble. Also, I'd love to share my stats on our soccer game this week. Scored 13 out of ...

Open Mic Church W37

Hello Everyone!! I can’t believe I am still living out here in Kentucky. I got my call a year ago and I’m about to hit my halfway which is insane. Time is actually moving! This week was great and better than last week!! I’ll tell you some of my highlights. Ethan, our recent convert got the priesthood!! Ethan is 20 years old and got baptized a few weeks ago and is hilarious. He is always cracking jokes and very loud during church. Right before fast and testimony meeting, he looked at me and said, “Wait! Is it an open mic church today?!?” I said, “Yes, are you gonna go up?” He said, “Duh” and he was the first to bear his testimony. I love working with recent converts that just have a fire in them. After he got the priesthood he said, “Well, do I have it now?”  We had a one-on-one call with Tom Larsen which I’m sure none of you know who he is. Basically, he is a big dawg in the social media part of missionary work. He oversees it all!! I just clicked on his zoom link because I ...

Pure Entertainment W36

Hello Y'all!! I don't even know where to begin. I had two very hard days this week that shook my faith a lot but guess what? We are still here so it must be the Lord's work or something. I won't tell you all the sad stuff because the good always outweighs the bad! Let me tell you about some highlights from my week. First, of course was general conference. My mission president invited us over for Lunch and the Sunday morning session as well as our friends. Everything was great and as soon as it was over my President got really serious and talked about the 5 things President Nelson has just asked us to do. I hope y'all remember but the first is to come onto the covenant path. Since our friend hasn't been baptized yet, my President told her that he had received the strongest impression that he couldn't put off that he needed to invite her to set a date to be baptized!! The spirit was so strong I didn't move because I didn't want to ruin anything. It fel...
