"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,...

When your stomach growls, eat grass! (April 28)

H'lo! How are my lovely Tejanos? This sister missionary is quite lovely, if I do say so myself--not in a prideful way, of course! This week was chalk-full of funny moments and great missionary experiences. Oh my goodness. I'm laughing just thinking of them all. But first....you know the drill. Word of the Week! "Be Chill My Soul": A motto by which all missionaries should live. It makes it so you feel at ease with your area, your terrible companion...

Facebook....It was fun while it lasted! (April 22)

Well hello strangers. How're y'all doin'?  #BecauseofHim this week was quite awesome! As you all know, this week, we had the opportunity to log onto Facebook for two hours a day and proselyte! I had some really great conversations about the Savior with some really great people! In fact, one of the young men I chatted with watched the video and we talked a little bit...

Hello my lovelies! My goodness this week has FLOWN by! I know you all miss me oooooh so much, but I wish time would slow down! I heard DFW had a hail storm?! I hate being away during April and May. Tornado season sucks and it makes me stress. However, I have full faith that the Lord will take care of y'all. So, let's get this show on the road. Word of the Week, yeah? Get pumped! Greenie Mail: Greenies get 10 times as much mail as they are entitled...

Conference ROCKED!

Hey y'all! I hope you all enjoyed conference as much as I did! I also hope that you all got something out of conference--specifically, M. Russell Ballard's talk on following up and being a missionary because missionaries need the help of members to find people and to keep people active! Something Sister Ketring and I realized this week is that we won't be in this area forever,...

Second Transfer: Two scheduled baptisms!

Hello all! This week has been filled with blessings and so many lessons!  Before I delve into this past week's adventures, let's start off with the word, or in this case, phrase of the week! Pray About It: When you ask President Cannon for permission to do something that you really know is wrong in the first place, this will be what he'll say. It means NO. Too accurate. So last P-day was marvelous! We drove up to Jump Creek...

Tracting...it actually worked?

Hey y'all! Happy last full week of March! I trust y'all're getting your April Fools jokes all set, huh? I know we are! We've got one of the Mission Office Elders, Elder Short (i.e. the Car Czar) in on the prank. So the plan is to have Elder Short call both companionships of Elders in our district and tell them that he's got a car to give and he's chosen them. Now, the...
