“You Have The Love Of Christ In You”

Hi!!! I have spent an amazing 5 weeks in Petoskey. There are people down in Marshall that the Lord wants me to meet, so this is going to be a short email, because I still have quite a bit of packing to do! 

So much good happened this week.

Sister Worm and I got to sing in sacrament meeting again! We sang Peace In Christ! ( linked below)

We had one of the BEST lessons on Tuesday with our friend, Clint. In the middle of our lesson he stopped us and said "I'm sorry I just need to say this... you both have the love of Christ in you. I can see it, and I can feel it." I couldn't stop smiling. My heart was full. 

We got to meet Johnny's brother who had the cutest lil puppy! We sat and answered his questions about dinosaurs and God's creations! Alma 30:44 >

Sister Nixon put my hair in curlers last night.
I might have shed a tear or two, man those hurt.
I think I got 3 hours of sleep. 

We got to serve lunch at the Salvation Army community lunch!!! Mosiah 2:17 serving others will make you happy. 

We had exchanges and I got to spend the day with Sister Christensen! The boss over at Petoskey Pretzel gave us free icees.

We got to go to a pumpkin patch with the Nixons and we talked to everyone about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! We try and share verses from the Book of Mormon with everyone we come in contact with and that's been such a good push for me to memorize certain/powerful scriptures. 

I will be going to Marshall, MI tomorrow! My companion is a HERMANA. I wanna come home fluent! haha I'm going to learn so much from Sister Roberts!

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...
