BAPTISMS

 Hellooo friends and family! this week was incredible. i am so so so grateful for my mission and for every second I get to share the gospel. We had an incredible zone conference all about showing love to everyone, members, friends, and strangers. We also focused on the saviors love for us and how He is the reason we have any joy. 

I am so amazed every day by our faithful YSA's and how they show up to love and serve and teach with us. This last week we got to do baptisms with our whole ward including Attikus! it was his first time at the temple and at first he was hesitant to be the one baptizing but after watching a couple people do it he was like "i got this" and he baptized me and sister Godfrey. The spirit was unrestrained and there were a couple tears shed in the temple. 

Our friend Kenzie is planning on getting baptized in April, i'm so sad I won't be here for it but she is amazing. we were talking to some of our members about her and they were like "oh I thought she was a member" haha she's like the most normal person I've taught iykyk and she is 100% ready to be a member. She loves to study the book of mormon and has seen so many blessings from living the gospel. 

I love this place and I am so grateful for every moment I have! This week is transfers and I'm pretty sure I'm going to stay in Granite Bay for my last one. 

My homecoming is officially going to be March 17th at 12 in springville! I would love to see you all there! 

love and miss you all!!

  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...
