Hello family and friends!!! I hope everyone is doing wonderful! I love and miss you all very much Its been a good week, lets get into it!  Tuesday we went to go visit Mary, a nonactive member. She hasn't been to church in over 10 years. We had such a good visit with her, we even ended up diggin out her old quad sciptures! They were up in a storage box that was all dusty haha. We invited her to pray before she read them and we will follow up next week! She was excited to get back into exercising her faith! Let's go Maryyyy!  Wednesday we had an apartment inspection with Elder and Sister Doty! I just love them. They make sure we're all safe with our fire alarms and everything and they always leave us with an amazing spiritual thought. (: We had a few appointments later in the day. Sister Abegglen and I are really trying to keep our appointments 30 minutes long. It's so hard. Michiganders like to talk and we just have to sit there like, haha its hard to interupt and get th...

GRACE GOT BAPTIZED YESTERDAY!!!  It was such a happy day. I love Grace, she really is like a close girlfriend to me! I got to give a talk on the Holy Ghost! I did a fun little object lesson and it went well. I am definitely getting more comfortable being a missionary and I'm loving the people here, more and more each day! Grace had her best friend, Nathaniel baptized her. It was such a good meeting, the spirit was very strong and all of us were uplifted. (:  Taught our football player, AJ, the Plan Of Salvation at the park this week and he brought his 8 year old friend Lilly from school! The both participated and asked a lot of questions about the spirit world and heaven. They both just kept looking at eachother saying "That is SO COOL." Haha I enjoy teaching the Plan of Salvation because it truly is the Plan of Happiness. There is life after death, the Gosple is all about love and hope and I love telling people about it!  I hope everyone is doing amazing! I love hea...

Hello my friends!! I hope everyone is doing well. Please email/message me with all your fun updates and what's been going on in your lives, I truly want to know! As you read from the title, Sister Abegglen and I had an interesting interaction this week. We got in contact with a Pastor over facebook and we were so excited to meet with him and kinda go back and fourth, discussing our beliefs. We decided to meet at a resturant and to sum things up, his intentions were not pure and only came to tell us that Joseph Smiths testimony is shakey in the Book of Mormon and how the Bible is the only true word of God...... It was hard to follow along with what he was saying but he proceeded onto the topic of temple marriage and how its wrong and how we won't be able to have spouses in heaven etc. Everytime we would flip to a scripture contridicting his thoughts ( D&C 132:15,19 ) he would close our books! Just insisting he was right. It was tense and the spirit was no where near us at th...

Hi!! I know its been a few weeks since I've sent an email so let me catch everyone up!   Terry got Baptised yesterday! We had to put off his date because some physical challenges came his way. The baptism went very well, he even invited his son Terry Jr. (hahah no really) and his daughter Ester! I gave a talk on Baptism and my comp spoke about the Holy Ghost. Yesterday was one of my favorite days on the mission so far because not only did Terry get baptized but we got 2 new referrals (people that potentially want to meet with the missionaries to learn more) AND we put our friend Grace on date for her Baptism on the 16th! EXACT OBEDIENCE BRINGS MIRICLES.  Transfer news.... Sister Abegglen and I will be staying in Owosso for another transfer! We're excited, we love the area and we get along so well with eachother!  The last few weeks have been fun!! We got our nails done with the STLs, had district P-day last monday and we all went to this fun place in Lansing called Zap Zo...
