ONE MONTH DONE!!







What's up y'all! This week I hit my 1 month mark which is crazyyyy. Time flies but also the days are so long. It's crazy how much we do in a day and by the end of the night we forget that the stuff we did in the morning was the same day. But mission life is good but tiring hahah. One day feels like a month but one month feels like one day sooo. Also I'm so sorry if these are too long for you guys it's pretty much a photo dump so feel free to not read the whole thing lol. Anyways let's get into it. 

We got a car wash and that was awesome and cool

My comp ❤️ I just love her so much. 
Alabama looks like a different country everywhere you go, it's crazy. But I love it all. I am just embracing all the crazy towns and houses I go into.


The districtttt. We had district council and got chic fil a after and that was a blessing.


We love getting drinks. When we get slumped throughout the day we get a little Dr. Pepper and we are chilling.



Another great day. Don't worry we don't eat out normally but we had been craving panda for so long and this was soooooo good. I probably could've cried.

There are sooo many water towers here so we of course had to have a photoshoot.

I can't drive for 4 weeks so I'm becoming a pro at backing 🙏



Mission life is exhausting tho some days we are sooo tired and the work can be defeating. But the blessings we see come to the people who are ready to hear our message is what keeps me out here. 



We laugh a lot and we make sure to have fun cause it keeps us sane. It's actually crazy how similar we are. We definitely would have been friends back home. Missions are a lot more fun than I thought they would be. Yes there are still hard days and times when it's so discouraging but they are also fun and so rewarding. One of the elders we ward share with said that it's crazy that our number one worry or thing that defeats us in when our friends don't come to church. It's crazy because back home I wouldn't even notice but now that is our goal. Sunday is game day here and all week we prepare to get as many of our friends to church. Now game day has a whole new meaning here and I have a new perspective on things hahah. Even tho missions are tough they are so worth it! If you are thinking of going, DO IT!!





There are so many miracles I see every week and here's one of them. 





Meet Juanita. She is the sweetest old lady I've ever met. We saw that she was a member and so we tried to find her house but it was down this long dirt road. We knocked on a house and the told us she lived in this wood cabin at the corner of the road. We knocked on the door hesitantly cause it was in the middle of the woods and you never know what youre gonna get. She answered the door as we were turning away and we talked to hwr and found out she goes to a different ward and has been going there for a while. We had no idea why she was in our areabook but we talked to her and she said how she's been cleanibg and organizing and if her house wasn't a mess she would let us in. I had dranked a lot of water and really had to use the bathroom. Also we were like 10 minutes away from even a real road. So I tried to just not think about it but eventually she noticed and let me in to use her bathroom. Now that we had already seen her house we offered to help her organize and carry boxes. She also let us feed her fish which was so sweet. She was just the cutest lady ever and made our days. She told us how she was praying this morning that she would be able to get all of the things done and then we showed up . 
God is in the details of our lives. So many times throughout this week I've seen that. He knows exactly where we need to be at every moment. He loves you and gave us his Son who knows us exactly. I love you all and pls email me! I love hearing from you guys.

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...
