Luke Challenge

Hi!!! 

I would like to invite everyone to read one chapter in Luke every night before Christmas. There are 24 chapters in Luke and what great way to read and learn about Jesus Christs' life by Christmas Eve! Do it 

Knocking in the snow is the most exciting thing, let me tell you. There's just such a thrill going door to door in our big coats, hats and gloves. A lot of people let us into their homes. Families in Marshall are very kind. 

This week was a little tricky with teaching because it was Thanksgiving so a lot of people were out of town. But it gave us good opportunities to reflect on our own blessings. 

Sister Peterson gave Sister Messick and I haircuts after we had Thanksgiving dinner. She brought me down her mission scrapbook and told me wonderful stories of her time serving the Lord in Thailand. She's someone I look up to a lot!

There was a big parade downtown Marshall tonight and we got to go with some of our members! 

I met a guy who served a mission with my friend back in 2018! ( it's the super awkward picture of us shaking hands haha ) 

I slightly sprained my ankel playing basketball 
Not fun 

My sister had a baby today! 

We watched the movie 17 Miracles with our friend Barbara last week and she LOVED it. Can't wait for that girl to get in the font 

Eating dinner at the Zirkels house always ends with hurt stomachs from laughing so hard

Church yesterday was a bucket. Man I love fast and testimony meeting. Got to hear several inspiring testimonies. I love this branch

Happy Holidays !

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...
