"I am a Child of God" - October 31, 2022

  Oh hello hello everyone!! Happy Halloween!!!  It was quite a crazy week. We began with exchanges with the University sisters in Morgantown! Sister Gallacher came to Fairmont with Sister Livingston and Sister McLendon and I stayed in the YSA area! It was so much fun!! We did our studies and everything and then the Fairmont Sisters called us. Sister Livingston asked me to step out so she could talk with me over the phone. Basically there was a Sister being ET'd and she would stay with us for the night so we needed to end exchanges with the YSA Sisters. Crazy!! We exchanged back and then got hints organized for this sweet Sister to come and stay with us. We had a wonderful 4 hour exchange with the University sisters and told them we would find another time to exchange!  We woke up Wednesday morning and met the Charleston STL's at the Flatwoods church building! We dropped off the Sister and they then took her to her new area, Barboursville!! I am soo excited for her to serv...

"Butterflies" - October 24, 2022

Oh, hello everyone!!! We had a fabulous week here in Fairmont!  We met with Donald and Ashley on Tuesday!! We taught them about baptism, receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost and Enduring to the End. It was a great lesson. Donald had some questions about baptism! Sister Livingston and I were a little nervous because sometimes his questions can be pretty complex, however, each question he asked we knew how to answer it!! I know that the Lord was watching over us and guiding us. Ashley asked some questions, too, about our missionary service. We invited them to read more about the baptismal covenant in Mosiah 18! I am super excited to teach them again this week!! Also on Tuesday, Sister Livingston and I had planned out our whole day. We were super excited for what we had!! Around 4:30-5 ish we just felt like there was something else that needed to happen. We decided to visit someone (I can't remember who we had decided to visit) and Google maps started taking us down a little WV side r...

"I Know that My Savior Loves Me" - October 17, 2022

 Hello hello family and friends!! Let's get started! We had zone conference this week!! It was an absolute blast! There are so many amazing elders and sisters in this zone!! We were taught by President and Sister Lindahl! They discussed being committed to our cause as missionaries and bearing testimony always! It was very powerful listening to them. I'm so very grateful to have them as my mission leaders at this time. They have truly changed me for thr better with their Christlike examples of service. After President and Sister Lindahls teaching we had breakout rooms! There were four rooms and the zone leadership was incharge of them! I was break out room one. We discussed The Book of Mormon being the keystone of our religion, Jesus Christ being our cornerstone and the Family being central to God's plan for us! It was awesome and I think it went really well. Sister Livingston had also helped me come up with a little jeopardy game to play! It was a lot of fun and I'm so ...

"Abide With Me; 'Tis Eventide" - October 10, 2022

  Hello family and friends! Kinda crazy it's already been another week!  Sister Livingston loves sushi. We have been trying to get sushi for the last 4 weeks. Well, the opportunity arose on Tuesday and we took it!! We arrived home at our apartment around 5:15ish, both hungry for some dinner! A random car was parked outside and we both had the thought that someone was in our apartment, but we didn't say anything to each other because that's an absurd thought to have! Well, there was someone in our apartment. We walked up the stairs and the door was open and a handy man was on the floor looking at our heaters! Sister Livingston and I both just looked at each other,  super confused. We tried to talk to him and ask him what was going on but he just mumbled some answers and ignored us. Thankfully we had to leave that evening to drive to Charleston for MLC, so we grabbed our suitcases and left. We were still hungry, of course, so we stopped at a Japanese restaurant on the way t...

"Pillar of Light" - October 3, 2022

  Oh my goodness, family and friends! It has been an absolutely amazing week here in Fairmont, WV! I wish you could all be here too early these moments with me! Monday night we stopped by Bethany and Matt's to have a lesson. They didn't answer so we decided to knocked some doors, as prompted by the Holy Ghost. The first door was a nice lady named Jasmine! We began teaching her but she kinda abruptly ended it and said she needed to go back inside. We began walking away and Sister Livingston pointed to a door across the parking lot saying we should go knock it. We walked over and knocked. A nice man named Trey answered! He told us a little about his life and began leading himself through the message of the Restoration!! Sister Livingston and I would make a few comments, here and there, but it was so crazy!! The Spirit was definitely softening his heart. We set up to come back this evening! We are super excited for Trey! Kasondra is doing great!! We met with her on Tuesday and wen...
