"He Walked a Mile in My Shoes" - June 13, 2022

 Hey everyone! 


It has been a wild week here! Lots of little blessings each day! I've also learned a lot about the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

Tuesday was Zone Conference!!! It was President and Sister Newman's last one. They leave on June 30. But, then we get to meet the new Mission President and his wife! It will be both sad and exciting!!! Zone Conference was amazing!! We learned about enduring to the end. It doesn't mean just making it through, it means finding joy as we come closer to Christ! It's a happy thing!! We learned about sea turtles and how they relate to enduring to the end. It was cool! Also, it was a tri-zone conference! So I got to see most of my past companions and so many missionaries that I know!! It was wonderful!!

Melissa, Krista and Katie, our three friends on date, are all doing ok. We haven't been able to meet with them this week due to various reasons but please keep them all in your prayers this week!! 

Friday and Saturday were so much fun!! We had exchanges! I went up to Charleston with Sister Evans! She is absolutely amazing!!! I am so grateful I get to serve around her! We had a busy day of lessons with members and friends. It is so cool to see how there are so many people around the world who have come to know of the truthfulness of the gospel!! Every story is different but it all leads to the same conclusion, that this is the True and Restored Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Song of the Week: "He Walked a Mile in My Shoes" by Nashville Tribute Band. The theme of this week has been the Savior's Atonement. So many little things this week have pointed me back to His suffering for me in the Garden of Gethsemane. He truly does know me perfectly. Only through The Atonement of Jesus Christ can we live with Him and Heavenly Father again. I am so grateful Jesus Christ willingly gave Himself for us. He loved us so much. What an amazing gift!! He did walk a mile in each of our shoes and because of that He can help us with anything!! I love my Savior Jesus Christ so much and I am so glad I get to share it with the people here in my mission!

I hope everyone has an amazing week! Talk to y'all next Monday!

 Oh hello wonderful family and friends! Welcome to another week in the life of a missionary here in Barboursville, West Virginia. This week was full of cold weather, tracting and miracles! Let's jump in! The most amazing thing happened on Saturday night! We were inviting as many people as we could to attend church with us the next day. We messaged David, not really thinking about him coming to church even though we were trying to invite lots of people. We asked how he had been and he said he had been feeling a little down the past few days. We asked how we could help and he said we couldn't really do anything BUT he would be coming to church the next day!!! It was amazing!! By his own free will he said he would come to church!!! It was the best!!! Sunday morning we showed up to church and David was there!!! I know Heavenly Father sees each of us and He knows our needs. He is so good! (I also got to lead the music for Sacrament Meeting!! I loved it!!) We had many member meals th...

  Hello family and friends!!  Another amazing week here in Roanoke! We had exchanges with Martinsville 1, Sister Brown and Sister Judson, from Tuesday-Wednesday! I was with Sister Brown in Martinsville! So many cool miracles! We met a lady who knows some members in the Roanoke ward! That was pretty cool! She said we could stop by anytime! Later that day we had an amazing lesson with a part member family! We shared the message of the Restoration and at the end invited the dad to be baptized. The Spirit was so strong!! He said no because he just isn't ready yet. The Sisters in Martinsville will co tinue helping him prepare!! Last week the Sisters had invited the family to day family prayer each day. We got to listen as they told us about how doing such a simple act changed each day and ultimately the week!! Prayer has power!! Good things are happening in the Sisters area!! Wednesday we exchanged back and I was with Sister Lofgreen again! We went out to try and get in co tact wit...

"Born on Christmas Day" - November 29, 2021

 Family and friends, hello! It has been quite an exciting week! We had exchanges on Tuesday with the Sister Training Leaders and there were SO MANY MIRACLES! Wow!! I went to Ashland, Kentucky with Sister Walker. We began with doing some service at a clothes store. From there we drove to some recent referrals homes and knocked on their doors. We gave a Plan of Salvation pamphlet to one of them! The last one we tried to visit didn't live at the address listed so we knocked on some of the neighbors doors! We had a wonderful conversation with a lady who is friends with people who attend the Ashland ward! She accepted a Book of Mormon so hopefully something comes of it! This neighborhood was also right along the Ohio River! It was beautiful!! That evening we were calling a few other referrals and two of them who haven't been very responsive in the past answered! One said they weren't interested but the other set an appointment up! Later in the week Sister Walker told me the less...
