ANYBODY GOT A MAP???
 
Hey friends!!! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I am so so so so so excited for come follow me this year the book of mormon is AMAZING!!!!

A little update for you all I only have 74 days left in the crm!!! The trunkiness is seeping in and I am going crazy trying to figure out how to make the most of the next 10 weeks ahahahah. If you have any suggestions please let me know. I have determined to read the five gospels (Matthew mark Luke John and 3 nephi) before I come home. I have realized at this point of my mission that nothing matters more than my relationship with the Savior and what I do each day to show my love for Him. 

this last week was weird and long and difficult. Not a lot of people are available for lessons or looking for change in our area. Especially with ysa most of them are with their families or enjoying their break. But still we had some amazing experiences. We have a friend who has been working diligently to grow his testimony despite being a member his whole life. In every prayer he says "I'm not sure if you're really there but..."  yesterday after sacrament he came up to us with tears in his eyes. He told us that as he took of the bread and water he prayed confidently for the first time ever and a voice spoke to him saying everything was going to be okay. He has had so many incredible spiritual experiences and this time he actually knew who it was coming from. The most precious experiences I've had as a missionary come from other realizing God's love for them when they desperately need it. I know Jesus Christ is our reason for joy and our source of peace. 

For the new year you all should make a goal to recommit yourself to the Book of Mormon!!! It is extremely powerful and pure but only if you treat it as an instruction manual for your life! Apply its teachings and see yourself in their shoes and I can promise you will find exactly what you need!

Love and miss you all! Do your come follow me!!!

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
