The Capital

I have been transfered to Lansing, MI! 

I am so excited to be finishing my mission in such a great area! It was hard saying goodbye to everyone in Marshall, especially my companion Sister Messick. I came into Lansing with another hermana! Hermana Williams! We are white washing the area and almost everyone here speaks French or Creole. We have been trying our best to learn the language because we are teaching this family of 15 that only speaks French! Like where are we?!??

We have taken a few trips to Grand Rapids for some hospital trips (everyone is okay) and we will be going again this week after zone conference. Crazy times. We are 10 minutes away from our mission President and it has been fun getting to work so close with our APs. The ward here is the most diverse ward I've ever seen. The roads in Lansing are so confusing and we're runnin around in this little petite truck haha. We get to volunteer at the Light The World event in G-RAP next week and we're SO EXCITED. 

My God this week
He was in the sunny days
He was in the snow fall
He was in the nice people
He helped me overcome my fears
He helped me understand
He gave me His Son so I can be forgiven
He lifted me up and kept me going
He answered my prayers in little ways
He had his arms around me so many times
I love my God and my Savior, Jesus Christ.

2 Nephi 4:20-21
"My God hath been my support; 
he hath led me through mine afflictions in the wilderness; 
and he hath preserved me upon the waters of the great deep. 
He hath filled me with his love,
even unto the consuming of my flesh."
Where did you see your God this week?
I promise you can find Him in anything
Just look!

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...
