Hey y'all,

This week was great! We've been working a lot with less active members and a few came to church so that was great! The elders have a baptism on Saturday. We are inviting our investigators to it because some of them are on date for the 21st as of today. So last week a less active member passed away so they had a baptist funeral. We were asked to go so that was pretty interesting to see. I am just so thankful for this gospel and the peace it brings me, that families can be together forever. The members here are so strong in the gospel, and such a great help in the missionary work. Which makes the work go so smoothly. We've been doing service at the library which I love. It's been so nice to be in A/C for a little longer. That's a tender mercy. We've been talking to the ladies that work at the library we gave one of them a pass a long card and told her to check out the web site. We missed a week because of meetings and the next time we went in she said she had checked out the website and would like a Book of Mormon. which was fantastic! I love being a missionary! We had fhe with some investigators last night, It went great! We had them write positive things about each other and themselves, and shared a scripture. They really liked it! Today was a busy we had a church tour right after/during district meeting. It was so great the spirit was so great especially in the chapel. Then we had one lesson after another. We weren't going to have time for lunch. Elder and sister griffith brought everyone enchiladas and browines it was such a blessing, and tender mercy.  I'm so grateful for the tender mercies I've been given. I'm so blessed to be a missionary. Make it a great week!

Hey yall,

So this week has been a rollar coaster of events! We did some finding and it turned out great! We found this cute little family. We knocked on the door and he invited us in before we even said anything. We were surprised and he said unless your only handing out a card? So we gave him a pass a long card but we came to share a message too. They have 2 kids, such a great family, they are looking for a church centered on Jesus Christ. So they loved what we shared with them. Also this week I was able to use my asl to sign to some deaf people! They weren't interested so it wasn't a ton but I thought it was cool! We also met this guy who had his beard save his life! He was standing by the fire and it blew up on him and his beard covered his face to keep the smoke from killing him. He even had a braided beard on the wall next to the door. There were these 2 old guys. They offered us kittens then he offered a snake he had in a bucket next to him it was so gross! The things you see when you do finding is interesting! So were meeting with this less active family and trying to help their son quit smoking and we had an appt Friday but her son cancelled so she took us out to ole time country buffet! It was really good! So I tried fried okra don don don... I liked it! Then we went back to her place and had a discussion on the B of M and answered her questions. She is such a nice lady! I was also able to cut someones hair so that was fun! Sunday one of our investigators came to church. It was awesome! It rained on sunday while we were at our dinner appt but it stopped right when we were done so we could do some finding. I took some great sunset pictures! Today we taught a lesson and the kozak's took us out to lunch to chinese food. It was great! We might be going bowling after. We have exchanges tomorrow so that should be fun! I'm so grateful for the gospel and the knowledge that familes can be together forever! I hope yall make it a great week!

Hey y'all!

      I hope you all had a great mother's day! I know I did. For mothers day we bought some roses and cards and took them to some of the single, less active, and active lady's in the ward and some of our investigators. It was such an amazing experiences to be able to wish them a happy mothers day. I was able to talk with my family it was so great to see them. It was such a blessing to be able to talk with them and feel their love and support. I'm so grateful for this gospel and the knowledge that family's can be together forever. I'm so blessed to know so many amazing women. I learn so much from their example to me of selfless service, and understanding. In the new video on Lds.org  #itwasmom it defines MOTHERHOOD: 

           "It’s the highest, holiest service assumed by humankind. It’s the definition of selfless service. It’s both a daunting responsibility and a glorious opportunity. The divine role of motherhood is a gift from God, and key to His plan of happiness for all His children." 

    I loved watching that video! I'm so grateful for mothers everywhere, but especially for my mom and all she did and continues to do for me! She is raising up the armies of Helamen as we go forth to serve missions to bring the world his truth. I'm so grateful for her patience, and understanding, She's awesome! 

     We've been sharing this scripture, it's great y'all should check it out!  Alma 56:47-48

Hey y'all,
     This last week was amazing! I feel so blessed to be apart of this work. So we were doing some finding and we were able to set up a church tour and teach the first lesson and set up a return appointment. Then we went to visit a less active and she was like what are you doing the city is on tornado watch. Which means the conditions are right for one to happen. So we asked her if we could come in to share a message with her and she let us in! We've been trying to see her for a few weeks now. I was rainy off and on wed through Thursday but not to bad. I had my first exchange, and I loved it! I learned to much in such a small amount of time, I was able to see the lords hand in my life as well as others and it was amazing to see how it all works out. It helped me to be a better teacher and also a better listener. I was able to take the lead in teaching 2 people and then we did contacting and a gas station and did teaching when you find. I ended up teaching him most of the first lesson and schedule another appointment. I'm so grateful for my companion she is so strong in the gospel and patient with me. I had my first zone conference I learned so much from it, I gave a talk in zone conference too. I was the first speaker. It was a pretty big zone. I love learning/hearing from others missionaries their testimony's help me grow in so many ways. Mothers day is next week so that should be fun. I hope y'all have a great week and mothers day!
