"He's been there. He knows what you're going through" (June 23)

Transfers have come and gone and I'm staying right where I'm at! By the next transfer, supposing I leave the area, I can rid myself of the nickname "greenie." Yes! This week has been a pretty good one! Although, all of our investigators flaked on our appointments...but, oh well! I started reading The Book of Mormon again. I made it through 1 Nephi in two...

Transfer #3 (June 16)

Why hello my loves! This is the last week of transfer number THREE! I've been in Caldwell for four months. Crazy. This has been the fastest transfer, I swear. I'm anticipating the call from President on Saturday could be ANYTHING. The possibilities are endless, really. I could stay, but I could also go. You'll know next week! Looking back on these past six weeks, a lot...

It's me again! (June 9)

Hello my loves! Another week in the mission field: DONE! It's P-day! Yay!  This week wasn't as crazy awesome as last week, but really, any week in the mission field is just awesome when you're on the Lord's errand! Sister Seaich and I went on day exchanges with our sister training leaders. I went with Sister Bailey to 12th ward. That was kind of tedious, but fun...

We've Been Waiting For You! (June 2)

Well hello! This is the week of month number FOUR! I'm still a baby buuuuuut I'm getting older! A LOT has happened here in Caldwell this past week. The Lord's hand has most definitely been evident in our work these past seven days. Let's get down to the nitty and gritty. The context isn't grammatically correct, but I just felt like saying that. So. What's something funny...

Clyde the Camel (May 19)

Uh...my fellow Americans....pahaha, sorry. My old district leader does a killer impression of Obama. Just sayin'. How are you all?! This week has been FILLED with the spirit and, of course, with humor, as always! Let's kick off this week's email with a word of the week, shall we? Manipulation: Taking away your investigators agency by asking them questions that will cause...

Saying goodbye is hard! (May 12)

Well hello there! I just got back from the transfer spot at Luby Park with my new companion, Sister Seaich! It was hard to say goodbye to Sister Ketring. In fact, I felt bad, because she cried and I didn't...but, I'm just not a crier. Oh well! I apologize, I was in such a rush this morning that I forgot to pick a word of the week. I'll save the humor for next Monday! A...

Three Months in the Mission Field! (May 5)

Hey everybody! Today marks three months since I left home for the MTC in Provo! WOW. I feel like these have been the fastest three months of my LIFE. Sometimes I wish time would just take a chill pill. Transfers are getting close. Sister Ketring and I FINALLY have gotten our feet on the ground and we have a TON of work going on in our area in the Caldwell East stake. However,...
