ABM!! (America's Best Mission)

Hey everyone! I'm finally in Alabama! It's been a crazy week and a half. So busy and a lot of traveling! Let's go back a little bit. So for Halloween the sisters in our district dressed up as elders which was embarrassing cause the fit I had was too close to the real deal.

SQUAD

District 1K


We got to go to the temple twice during our last week at the MTC and that was such a good time!


We had the last day of classes and said bye to my favorite teacher Sis. McMahon

Most of the MTC district. They're lit.


Here's what I ate pretty much the whole time at the mtc. So so thankful I can have homemade food now 🙌 Sadly at the end of the MTC a cold was going around and I started getting that. But I'm thankfully better now!!


Traveling was such a long day and things kept going wrong but we made it. The first day we were picked up and went to the mission home and had dinner. It was a long but good day. We stayed in a hotel and the next day we had transfers!!!!

Last night with my queen


Alabama:

President and Sister Chibota and my trainer Sister Hunt!!


Transfers were fun! We had a long training and then we got sent to the Theodore area. It’s the very bottom of our mission so we drove for 4 ½ hours. It was such a fun time! There are soon many trees here and it feels like another country sometimes. We had a lesson right when we arrived and it went pretty good.


Some roads look like we are in Mexico or a jungle. 


We love to get Dr. Peppers at Circle K.


We had a dinner with a new member named Gilly. He is so sweet and took us to a nice steakhouse which was a blessing having that as my first meal since the MTC. 


We have soon much fun! I can't even tell you how many times we have cried from laughing so hard. Missions are fun and that's something I didn't expect when I came out but we do the work and we laugh while doing it. She is so good at training and I am so much less stressed than I expected I would be. God is so good and so aware.


It gets pitch black at about 5:15 so that's crazy. I get so tired when it is dark but we carry on.


We have yummy cockroaches everywhere and it's fun cause you never know where they will be! 


Anyways this has been all over the place but life is good! I love Alabama and the people already. Missions are awesome! If you are thinking about going on one, do it!! I feel like I didn't actually mention any missionary work just what we have been up to so here's a quick recap. We have two people on date! One friend is named Ember and she is 11 and gets baptized in a few weeks and then we have a friend named Janet on date for December! The work is so good here and there are so many people we are teaching. This is “the promised land” as my trainer says and I can already see that's true. I have seen the lords hand in my life and seen how he has already blessed me. Never forget we are all God's favorite and he loves us so much!!


Here's a talk I recommend you all read it's so so good! 


God’s Favourite

Well, my bad I didn't write last week. I really didn't have much to report and had no pictures. I also was sick on Monday so I was not feeling it hahah.  This is all I have to report from last week. Had an awesome lunch with a member Sister Champagne. It was so fun and delicious. We also filmed for our social media page and then got Chic-fil-a! Then we also got Zaxby's Chicken Bacon Ranch Loaded Fries. That was spectacular! I had been talking about it my whole mish and so finally having it was wonderful. So thankful for Lucie introducing that one to me. Wow pretty much looks like all we do here is eat. Lastly, we played some fun games on p-day. But that night I started to really feel like I was getting real sick.  So this was me Tuesday at the end of the day. I was perishing. Probably my hardest day so far. We had district council and then we got Panda and Boba. We were rushing all day to get where we needed to and to all our lessons. We visited some members and then Sister...

We're back

Okay it's been a while since I've written one of these. My bad. Lots has happened tho! We had zone conference and got a new mission president!! Oh my I love them so much. They are an answer to all of my prayers with the revelation they have for this mission already. They are SO FUN!!! We had a meet and greet with them and it was awesome. They are young and so cool. So that's pretty exciting. Zone conference was good. We said bye to the Chibota's which was sad. We will miss them too!  Lowkey these past weeks have been pretty hard but I've learned to rely on Heavenly Father more than I ever have. I had only Him to pray and talk to and sometimes I would just sit there with Him and I could feel that I was loved. Some days I didn't know how I could get through the long day but I prayed in my head and I know He gives us strength. I also appreciate every one of you who sends prayers to missionaries. It is felt!!  This week we had an all day service on Monday and we hel...

Exchanges!!

This week was pretty good. We had 5 of our Haitian friends come to church!! They drove 40 minutes to get there!! We put 2 people on baptismal date and we had a lot of good lessons. We have been finding a lot and that has been helpful! Our new mission president is changing a lot of things and it is so good! We now can use our apartment gyms and we are all going on a 3 week social media fast. This next week is transfers and I'm so scared haha. I am curious to see what he will do and if he switches things up.  We had exchanges this week and I got to see my best friend Sister Ady!! ❤️👯🏼‍♀️ Yayayayay!! I love her and it brought me so much joy. I am so lucky with the friends God has blessed me with from serving a mission. I've met some lifelong friends. Sister Ady is leaving so it was our last exchange ever. Next time we are together we will be partying it up in good ole Utah. I hadn't laughed as much as I did with her in a whileee.  We had the funniest member meal too. They we...
