 Good morning!!! Welcome to another week! It was absolutely amazing! So many Spirit filled meetings! Last Monday we had a quick MLC meeting with Elder and Sister Bassett! We drove the three hours to Charleston, had the two hour meeting and drove back home! It was wonderful. The next day we had a mission wide meeting, in person and over zoom, with The Bassett's. Again, so so good!! We discussed President Nelson's talk from this past general conference. It was awesome! The Spirit was so strong as we all talked and discussed together about overcoming the world. It's not an easy task but as we yoke ourselves to the Savior, just as Matthew 11:28-30 talks about, then the load becomes easier. It doesn't go away but it becomes easier!! We are working with Christ at our side! On Wednesday all three southern zones met at the Roanoke Stake Center for an in person Tri-Zone Conference with Elder and Sister Bassett!! Again, absolutely amazing!! We discussed how the Book of Mormon and...

  Hello everybody!!! It was a crazy week here in Roanoke! We had exchanges with the Vinton 2 sisters on Tuesday! It was amazing! I was with Sister Hyde here in Roanoke. Sister Lofgreen went to Vinton with Sister Blake! Because it was Valentine's day we cut out lots of paper hearts and heart attacked some of our friends doors! We also brought them cookies! It was wonderful. We exchanged back later that evening.  Wednesday we had an incredible lesson with the elders friend Beth! We had somehow gotten her number and messaged her about baptism. She responded to our text a few days later and was interested! We then found out the elders were already teaching her! She is on date for March 11th. Please keep Beth in your prayers! She wanted to have Sister Lofgreen and I come over for a lesson so we did! We shared 3 Nephi 11 with her and talked about how the people were at the temple when the Savior came. We shared the Washington DC temple open house video with her and discussed the imp...

Everybody!!! It's been a good a little while, haha! These past few weeks have been crazy!! We had transfers! Leaving Fairmont was very bittersweet. I love that cute little city with my whole heart! So many amazing people and I'm so glad I could meet them. Here we are in Roanoke, Virginia!!! It has been a very wild time! My new companion is Sister Lofgreen! She is the coolest! We get a long so good! Each day is full of fun, laughter and hard work! We whitewashed into the area so neither of us really have a clue about what's going on, haha! Each Day we get up and go to work!  Roanoke is a huge city! It's the biggest city in our mission. It's also very different from West Virginia. It feels flat to me and there are actually huge mountains here! I've grown so used to seeing rolling hills of green broccoli that to see flat ground is a little weird. The ward is amazing!!! It's a huge family ward and the average age is about 30 instead of 85! We have had so many me...
