1/24/2022 Working through discouragment

Hello All ❤  Miss you more than ever! This week was hard for me. Although it was full of laughter and a lot of good times, it was a tough one emotionally. Every missionary says that the mission is hard but it is hard in away I never could've anticipated. I've spent a lot of my time in prayer, crying to Heavenly Father for comfort and guidance and all the things. Asking to know how to help my friends that I am teaching. My heart aches for them to enjoy the blessing that come from living the Gospel and knowing their Savior.  I think it's safe to say that everyone knows I have a very strong testimony of God's timing. But this week a question has been brought to my attention. Do I trust God's timing always? Or just when things are going well...?  It's so easy for me to trust God's timing when I see the blessings from it. Am I willing to trust His timing when I am facing hardship? Are you??? On Tuesday night we had a man named Eric Richards join our mission call ...

1/17/2022 4 Months and COVID

First of all... time needs to SLOW DOWN! It's scary how fast it is going by. I've already hit 4 whole months?! (not to be confused with 4 'half' months lol)  4/18... that is so weird to me. Only 14 more fast Sundays mom & dad, don't worry 😉😇 Welp, this week had a very interesting turn of events when Sister Jones and I tested positive for covid Tuesday morning. Not much happened this week. We weren't able to go to zone conference which was super sad! But if I had to quarentine with anyone, I am so glad I got to quarentine with Sister Jones! We discovered that our building has a roof top so we snuck up there every day to get some fresh air (we definitely did NOT -i repeat did not- recreate the High School Musical roof top dance scene...🤣) Covid sucked! I didn't get it too bad but Sister Jones got WRECKED & had really bad bodyaches and chills, I felt really bad! On the bright side, we were still able to teach the amazing people that we met last week ...

1/10/2022 Jaw Dropping Miracles

I tried to make this shorter... I really tried. Hello to all my favorite people, I miss you! This week has literally been one of the best on the mission so far! I have no idea why God allows me to witness and be apart of this great work but wow! I am so thankful that I am able to be a missionary right now! This week every day something crazy happened that most people who aren't in the Gospel or who don't have a faith in God would have seen as coincidental but I can not deny the role God plays in each one of our lives! God is literally in control and He reminded me of that this week! Everything is in His hands! My mom wanted me to share one of the miracles that we saw this week :) like I said I tried to make this short but I really can't lol. So a typical "finding" day we would go to Uxbridge and be there for about an hour to an hour and a half max but the zone decided this week we would find for 3 hours straight 😅 Uxbridge high street is kind of like station park...

Hello Family! Happy New Year! We had transfers last week and my new companion is Sister Jones!!!! We have been nonstop laughing since Tuesday and I just love her so much!  We are working hard and playing even harder if you know what I mean ;)  I am so happy and so grateful that the Lord had blessed me with her! 💗 This week was interesting because we had virtual transfers but it all worked out :) We couldn't find people for like 3 days which was really weird. New Years Eve was SO fun! We had a zoom mission party and stayed up until midnight and never in my (mission) life have I felt so normal lol.  We had such a powerful Restoration lesson with Beltus and he is so excited to learn more. God is SO good! All the time 💗 One cool thing besides the fact that Kylie and I are companions! Elder Greindl (literally my best friend from the MTC) is now in my zone! So Sister Costa and I are thinking the possibilty of us becoming companions one day are very likely if Elder Greind...
