My Twin Had A Baby!!!!!!!!

Lacey gave birth on Saturday the 10th!! Her little boy is perfect, and I can't wait to meet him in person when he turns 1 haha! A good amount of people asked me if I felt any of her contractions hahahaha the answer is yes, yes I did..... Jk. Welllllll I did have a stomach ache all day Saturday.....


Sister Bean and I got to go to GRAND RAPIDS for the day on Friday and it was a little scary because it was for a doctor's appointment but we are okay and everything's fine. I got to run it back in the hospital gown again and it reminded me of the MTC. We got to drive past the future temple grounds too and that was special! 


Little miracle from our G-rap trip was getting to see Terry in Owosso on our way back (,: Terry was my first baptism in Michigan, and getting to see him again was THE highlight of my week. Terry was the first person I met who had a visible light bulb switch on when we talked about Jesus Christ's Gospel, and I will never forget my experiences teaching him. He was in the military, and every time we take a picture, he makes a straight face!!! He kills me. There will be a video below that shows that side of our relationship. 


This week was crazy. We made a couple of new friends and had 3 guys come to basketball night with the youth! I got asked out on a date, and we had some GOOD lessons with the elders! Met with the one and only Will! He's amazing, and he's preparing to go to the temple! We tried Captian Jay's in Grand Rapids, and it was the best chicken I've ever had. We've continued to run with the elders at 7am, and have just loved seeing the sunrise! Worked on a puzzle today with some missionaries in Mt. Pleasant - I couldn't stop laughing. 


God is so good. It's not hard to notice his hand in my life every day. There are tender mercies everywhere, and we just need to have the eyes to see and the hears to hear. Love you all. Have a great week! xoxoxo

Miracles In Detroit

Hello friends! So much has happened these last two weeks!!! My companion and I sometimes like to wrestle during our lunch and dinner hours. Some of these fights turn into water fights. Long story short, there was water on the kitchen floor, and we were both sprinting into the kitchen because the best weapon in a water fight is the side sink sprayer. Sister Abegglen slips on the water in the kitchen, and both of her feet flew up in the air, and she fell head first on the floor. We were laughing so hard. Until she thought she was concussed. That wasn't funny. That was a memory I'll never forget. She's all good now, but the bump on her head was insane.  Our mission got approved to go to the Detroit Temple!!! Detroit is outside our mission, and it took a lot of work to get it approved. We got to go do baptisms, and who do I see in the parking lot??! This family that used to be in my ward in Washington!!! I went to girls camp with this girl, and she's now serving a servic...

Hi friends!  This week has pulled at my heart strings quite a bit. My oldest sister Kayla and her family live in Midland Michigan, a little over an hour away from Owosso. I had my first zone conference in Lansing, and my mission president INVITED MY SISTER!!! It was such a blessing to see her, even Brody (her husband) and my niece Summer came along. I even got to see Elder Mower who is from my home ward in Washington! The lord knew I needed to see some familiar faces this week. I've been struggling with the adjustment more than I thought I would've. Seeing little Summer come running down the hallway at the church with two flowers for my trainer and I was just the best sight, I almost cried! They took us out to TRH for dinner and like always we all pretty much filled up on the rolls haha. Grateful for my fam! Terry. Oh man this guy. He cracks me up just like my dad! Terry is 60+ years old, his wife, Debbie has been a member her whole life but Terry has not. He started to come to...

Zone Conference x2

This week was so special!!!!! Church yesterday was crazy! People from my old areas came to see me! This whole family from Saginaw came, and the legend himself, Brother Coy, came all the way from Owosso. I couldn't believe it! We had our friend come to church, but he straight up had an ankle monitor on hahaha, we just had no idea! We stopped teaching him :/ We have this newly baptized family that hasn't been to church in almost a month, and they showed up, and Sarah is pregnant and they're struggling with money at the moment. Brother Coy gave them $150, and it was just the coolest thing to witness God's divine timing, yet again on the mission. Brother Coy was supposed to be there yesterday for Sarah and her family. We spent HOURS knocking. It's my favorite thing, but man, it's so so hot and humid. We met this angel, Kathleen. We got to teach her about the great Plan of Salvation. Her husband recently passed, and she was so full of light by the end of our visit, k...
