Friends family wow I had probably one of the most impactful weeks ever on my mission I mean I don't know if that's measurable but just know great things are happening here in The Lords Vineyard. Before I hop into it I express my love and gratitude to each of you. All that I have and all that I am is because of My Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ. My Heavenly Father, our God, has placed each of you in my path so I thank Him and I thank you! Monday I had a very personal and very Sacred experience. I won't share here, but it was an experience born of the Spirit and will have a lasting impact on me. Monday our Pday we had no plans whatsoever so I decided to hit a 4 hour personal study filled with pondering and praying. We had a friend who was headed to Florida on vacation and I really wanted to teach her before then, so for our pday we called some senior missionaries and had them pick us up, take us to the church, and tour it with our amazing friend! Wow oh wow ...

Wow what another great week! Thank you so much for everyone who keeps me in your prayers! I can feel them and I can feel the Saviors influence and strength in my life and angels watch over me on behalf of all of your prayers so thank you. This week I have had kind of a harder week for me personally but it was perfect for what transpired! Tuesday we had our first District council and it has been something I have been excited about for a long time! We had an awesome youth join us and the training I prepared was exactly the Lords will. Thank goodness for prayer and Revelation. In my district there are 2 companionships and 1 set of senior service missionaries and they are covering a Persian Farsi speaking branch. For a long time they have been trying to move the branch into a chapel and expand it into a ward. They have come across roadblocks and havn't known how to move forward. By God's grace the spirit of revelation that was present during district council progress is being m...

Well this week was incredibly humbling. I have had one of the most miracle filled weeks and the Lords work is rolling forth like as if somone released the flood gates and Living water is just flowing nonstop. Before I break it down I just want to acknowledge the prayers that have been sent up for me and the love I feel all the way out here in Northern Virginia yall are awesome and I love every single one of you. This week has been powerful! Tuesday we met this guy he was reffered to us and we invited him to be baptized over the phone while a member was driving us home! He is super cool he came to church on Sunday and really wants the Holy Ghost in his life. He lives just outside his our area, so we reffered him to the sisters who have been praying to baptize somone on Augest 31st! He's on date for Augest 31st! Super cool miracles! Tuesday night we got transfer news and to be honest I was not very excited at first. I am staying in the same area but they split it in half and...

This week was absolutely Glorious I wish all of you were here to experience it with me and the Joy that was felt. Unfortunately that cannot be so let me bring it to you. all of you I hope yall had a good week and took a second to pause for a second and remember the Love that Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and I have for you.Keep on the keeping on, but let's break it down. This week was very memorable for me I have been seeing so much of God's hand and the Lord is truly hastening his work in ways that are unbelievable. I have seen the Lord use me in many different ways and have felt the Joy and the love that comes from it! I will share a few miracles that touched me deeply.... Tuesday we met a Muslim Guy from Sudan who speaks broken Arabic and a little broken English. We have tried hard to teach him but by and by all we could do was testify of Jesus Christ and help him feel the spirit. Little by little miracles took place, we had lessons, and a recent convert was placed i...

This past week will forever be memorable for me. There have been many personal, and sacred experiences, ones I cannot fully share here. It has been a week where I have seen in awe a sliver of God's beautiful Plan of Happiness. Before we jump into my week let me first again express my love and gratitude for all of you. You didn't think you'd read an email from me without getting buttered up first huh? All of yall are amazing, and have the power and influence to shed forth light into this ever darkening world and do so just by existing and being you so thank you! Don't forget to count your blessings and give Glory to God. Tuesday morning was powerful and and impactful day for my companion and I. I remember that specific morning my companion was filled with with despair and his mental health hit an all time low out of nowhere. He reached out to the zone leaders and sought a preisthood blessing. I remember praying and asking God what I can do. The response was He will t...

I love all of you and I hope yall had a good week! I really love each email and letter I get! It makes my whole week. So thank you! Each of you have been in my thoughts and prayers so just know that I have your back and God's got your back. This week has been critical for me and I have been just able to grow and gain a greater Understanding of how God can use me for good in this mission and in my life. He loves you and loves me and will do anything to help us become who we are destined to be as God's Children, even if you have mountains to climb and trials to face. That is evidence right there of God's love and Trust in you. I have had the opportunity to go on an exchange with an Elder who served as my very first district leader when I got to the mission field and it was special for me. I was able to seen how I have grown the past year and able to put it in play and we received some great direction and Revelation from eachother. I also had the opportunity to be e...

Wow I love writing these emails because I get to express how much I Love and care for all of you so ha! You have to read my emails each week and endure each "I love yall" or each "Stay Sweet" because truly I love all of you so much. Special shoutout to Hank his birthday is coming up and I'm forever grateful for our friendship and the example he is to me. Go rip some lips. This past week has been amazing because....lives are changing and growth is being made! As far as proselytizing goes it has been harder. All of the lessons have been getting canceled, energy has been lower, friends dropping us, getting kicked out of our finding areas, getting cussed out and so on. Its been hard....Here's why I loved it though! I have Joy and I know that it is because of Jesus Christ! This week I read a book called "The Power Of Everyday Missionaries" and wow it was so amazing. As I was reading it I felt so grateful to be a Missionary and to have the Gospel...

I just want to start off by saying how much I Love each and every single one of you who reads these emails! Truly yall are the realest and were all placed in my life for God's purposes so thank you for being you. This week has been powerful...I can't find any other word to describe it but I sure can testify of it! This past week has been so difficult but so joyous! I have had many powerful Personal studies relating to God's Will and plan for me. "Something powerful happens when a child of God seeks to know more about Him and His Beloved Son"(Russel M. Nelson) Going into this week my companion and I had a vision on how we are to unite with our members and find friends in our area to baptize and have created strategy on how to do and sought guidance from our Heavenly Father on how to do so. We have stopped by many members and received a lot of revelation. This ward has had almost 0 missionary efforts coordinated and there has been a big disconnect and God ...

I just want to start off this email by expressing how much I Love all of you! You know who you are and my hope is you have been able to feel the love that I have for each of you. For those I got to see over the Phone at the 4th of July party, you made my day so thank you. I often reflect on the blessings I have seen in my life and this Nation we live in and the relationships I have with others will be something I will forever be grateful for because that it was God and America are all about. I hit my year mark today and looking back I wouldn't trade a single second for anything else and I am so thankful for all of your support and prayers because I can feel it and I wouldn't be able to have gone through some of the things I have gone through without them so thank you. This past week and honestly year has been life changing and I would love to just share a few experiences I have had and a few lessons I have learned so bear with me. Tuesday was the last district council of ...
