DEER City

ONE MORE WEEK UNTIL SEATTLE 


Time in the MTC is so odd. I feel like I just got here but at the same time it's felt like 2 months. The days are so long that I can't even remember what happened yesterday. I wish I could just vlog all the highlights of my day. So much has happened that I just want to share so bad but by the time PDAY gets here I can't remember or express it's significance. A few things that I CAN think of:


-I was asked to give the opening prayer in our class. We always start with a song beforehand and conveniently it was the song "Did You Think to Pray." Well... guess who forgot to pray. ME️ That just cracked me up!


-GRANDMA GOT RUNOVER BY A REINDEER:
and by grandma... I mean me....and by "got runover" I mean almost got runover. 
Basically somehow DEER weasel their way into the MTC gates and just wonder around campus. We've seen a couple from afar and it's fun. However one night after a devotional, Sister Phelps, my companion, and I walked over to our meeting spot with the rest of the group. We were on the top of a hill which is in-between buildings at the MTC. I was on my phone when A DEER just runs within like 3 feet of us to the other side. Just a funny and slightly alarming story. Hope that bro can find his way outta this place


-I am handling some really tricky circumstances that I know I wouldn't be able to without relying on the Savior. So thankful for all my awesome friends who are here with me!!! I get to see so many people at meals and just walking around. They've been saving my booty 


-These Elders crack me up. They are all just straight outta high-school. They help keep it a good balance of humor to Missionary work! Sister Clawson and I don't really help in that mix haha. We are most of the time just slap happy in class but don't worry we also stay focused on our duties!! I wouldn't survive without them 


I'm pumped to be free of the food and tummy issues here. Looking forward to a lit plane ride with my buddies who are also going to Seattle. Hope all is well in the good ole town of Syracuse or wherever you're reading this from! I love you guys so much!!! Til next week.

Greetings From RENTON

Heyyy bffs! This week was absolutely nuts, I swear the weeks keep getting more chaotic everytime.  My BESTIE KAILEY SANNAR left me, then I was in a LIT trio with Sister Johnson and Sister Debloois! They are so fun. We went on a GOOD dab spree for those couple days. However during our time together we each got white wash calls (which means they take all the missionaries out of the area and replace them with new ones). Moral of the story, all together we whitewashed 4 areas. So that was interesting, kinda stressful but we survived. TRANSFERS: I love going to transfers and seeing so many friends!! I got transferred to good ole R-Town. Renton is more south in the mission than I'm used to so I'm excited for a change. South= a more humble crowd and it's already been very cool to see how willing/open people are to learning more about Jesus Christ.  My new companion is Sister Melton, she is a sweetie cutie petite little dumpling sugar plum! I served with her i...

Not So Funny

This week was awesome!!  We did lots of service and got to help out with all the kiddos in church yesterday! PRIMARY PROGRAM GOES CRAZY, we've been helping them prepare for their performance for a couple weeks now so it was really fun to see it put all together! Also a miracle that I got some of my bffs to sing #blessup  FUNNY (not so funny) moment of the week: we had to drop our friend. Sadly one of our friends.... was tryna be a lil more than friends with Sister Wallis. He had me straight up third wheeling so that was amusing but not for Sister Wallis. Rip Gary. Officially been a missionary for 4 months!! Even though I have a lot more time left, I've been reflecting on what I've experienced so far! Quite sure I say this every week, but I have been SO blessed! It is WILD to see how what I believe has changed and grown. It is a miracle in itself that I am here serving but even more so how many good things I have been given while doing so! My mission has shown me how ...

HAPPY MONDAY!!!  Got to go to the temple on Friday with friends and it was SO fun! We grubbed at cafe rio after and this dude was tryna get our church address but it was a little sus how bad he wanted it so we are gonna send the Elders his way Funny story from this week! I was on an exchange with the stls and a car of boys asked for our numbers. It was a pretty funny interaction telling them how we are on missions and we don't date for a couple years Anyway enough with the weird things that happened... this week so awesome! Sister Hatt and I are bffs!!! We get cracked up about stuff all the time and I feel so grateful that she is my companion, the transfer is flying by so im gettin a wee bit nervous that change could be coming my way. However, I know that whatever happens will be for a reason and it will help me learn and grow!!!  As I have been more immersed in the scriptures on my mission, I have found so much joy through reading the Bible and the Book of Mormon!
