Lesson’s I’ve Learned

Friends and family!!! 


I'm so happy to be back in Michigan. 

I keep having moments where I stop and realize how much the state of Michigan means to me. I found my Savior, Jesus Christ in this great state. I have come to know him. I have come to love Him. I have come to trust Him. 

The Lords hand was very apparent in the work this last week. Sister Wehrmister and I got to witness a lot of miracles. Thursday afternoon, we made 7 friends while knocking in this one apartment complex. I have never met so many people looking for answers to their questions! It was such a powerful day getting to testify, one door after another. 

☆Things I've learned☆ 

John Kintz is the coolest guy I know. ( pics below) 

Petoskey has better beaches than Cheboygan.

Missionaries can't shoot guns ): 

Walking across the Makinac bridge will WREAK ur legs #10milesneveragain

Faith doesn't make things easy, it makes them possible.

I get emotional teaching children about the Gospel.

Sometimes missionaries are part-time therapists. People just need someone to listen to them.

Music is always better live.

Senior mission couples are a blessing. 

Nothing of value comes without effort.

-------------

Jesus Christ loves you. He really does. We have a Father in Heaven that has a plan for each of us. He knows us perfectly and loves us beyond our comprehension.

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...
