Hello everyone! Yes I'm still in West Palm! At this point I'm thinking I'll be here my entire mission;) I got a new comp and she is a Native and speaks mostly spanish so thats an adventure!  This week we had Ethans baptism and it was fun! He was super happy! He gave everyone a big thumbs up and a big smile when he got out of the water! He also invited his teacher from school and all of his family to come! This helped us get non members and less active members to experience the joy and peace that comes from the Gospel!  This week was kinda hard just with everything changing and nothing was consistent! The language I was speaking kept changing, my comp and it was just kinda mid!  But finally through my frustration I realized I have one thing that was not changing and it is I have a living Savior who knows me PERFECT! He knows my heart, my struggles, my fear, my happiness! Every single thing. And he is there with me through it all!  Knowing this brought me peace! I deci...

Hello again!!! Its transfer week so im excited to see what happens there! Also we found the coolest little friend last week and he is getting baptized on Thursday!  His name is Ethan and his family is all members! He is SO sweet. His family id a little less active and we went to visit them randomly and his mom was like my son REALLY wants to get baptized but he is autistic and doesnt have the attention span and missioanries in the past have just gotten frusterated with him and so he hasnt got baptized. I was like this is HEAVEN! Teaching a kid with special needs LETS GOOOOOO!  Anyway this week we have been at his house teaching him for like an hour and a half every week! It has been hard and so fun! We have had to come up with some CRAZY activities to keep him entertained but he passed his interview and literally can pretty much repeat back to us EVERYTHING we have taught him! He is SO cool! He also wants the entire world at his baptism so yall are invited ;) oh and for some r...

5 months as a missionary! It has been the longest shortest fastest slowest 5 months of my life. Mission time is so wild I dont understand it haha!  This week was pretty much the same as any other week haha! Nothing too crazy going on. We had to translate in our ward confernece on Sunday and that was SCARY! Good thing for the gift of tongues:) Heres a lil thought for yall. As a missionary if I am not going 100% of the time I get in the mindset that its a waste and I could be home sitting around.  This transfer my comp doesnt have the go go go vibe so i have had to SLOW DOWN. Its been really hard for me. Ive had lots of moments where I have been like God if you want me to work hard and be a missionary why not give me someone who will be out of the house with me and who will grind all day.  One day this week as I sat and waited hoping to eventually get out the door I was thinking and it finally clicked for me. I was trying so hard to be a missionary or a light to those I did...

Yo Yo Yo!  Good Morning everyone! I dont want any hate from any of yall but this week was FREEZING.  I swear I could never get warm! But other than that it was a good week! My trainer  Hermana Duvall went home so that was saddie! We are no longer in a trio and its weird for her to not be here! But me and Hermana Dickson have been grinding soooo its been fun!  This week we had a day FULL of just finding we had no studies and had to be out of the house all day! We called like 500 people and talked to anyone we could! Our goal was to find 18 people which is more than we usually find in a week! We ended up finding 16! Thats alot of souls thay get the chance to learn more about their Heavenly Father and make covenants with him!  We are praying hard that we will be able to help all 16 of these friends continue to learn and progress! But ya it was a fun, busy, and exhausting day haha!  This week during my studies I was studying in the beginning of Book of Mormon (...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hope you had a awesome night! This week was just a normal week as a missionary nothing too crazy happened haha! We did have 12 friends show up to church this week! So that made yesterday pretty crazy! But awesome to have friends coming to church!  This week I was grinding the Book of Mormon so I could finish before the new year! I finished it this morning and I LOVE THE BOOK OF MORMON! Everytime I read it I feel the power! I have also seen the power of the Book of Mormon in the lives of my friends here in West Palm! Soooo make it a goal to read the book of mormon everday this year ;) This week in my studies I noticed a few times where it said " Seek This Jesus". This phrase kept popping up whether I was studying Preach My Gospel, The Book of Mormon, or even just a random conference talk! It made me slow down and think about what thay means to me. As a missionary I have SOOO much time to study, teach, testify, and talk about Jesus Christ! But am I truly SEEKING...
