I don't even know where to start HAHA. I get to the end of each day & I don't even remember what i did that morning cause I feel like we're so busy. but I think I had the most spiritual week of my life so far..... so I'm just gonna share some insights & lessons I learned! - God qualifies who he calls & where we consecrate, God magnifies - I've been sent here, personality and all, for a reason - light ALWAYS overcomes darkness... invite light!  - we're going to be asked to walk where Jesus walked & the path will often be difficult - obedience brings blessings & protection - 2 timothy 1:7 - the priesthood is TRULY gods power - God sends angels to surround & protect us - we knew each other before this life so we're all just getting reacquainted  - sacrifice = investment - we are ALL fellow servants in this work, members & missionaries alike - don't let your works become more important that your covenants - scattered Israel is amo...

I hit 1 year as a missionary last week AHHH thought this day would never come but WOW I'm grateful it did. last night I got trunky (per usual) but this time it was cause I was excited to make a worship music playlist to listen to on Sundays:,,,) that's a true change of heart if I've ever seen one. this week was BONKERS honestly there was so much that I don't even know what to say in this email:,) & we predicted that this last week will be our slowest this whole transfer soooo.... wild. we are having a hard time nailing down our focus for the transfer but at the moment we're focusing on finding a truly prepared person & helping people feel loved and seen. it's been super cool!! I know God is preparing people for us go not only teach, but to support & help. we had a mega spiritual lesson with one of our recent converts named ivan. I'll probably talk about him a lot because he's INCREDIBLE! he was telling us little snippets of his past from befo...

WOW what a wild few days... one thing I've learned since being on a mission is DONT GET COMFORTABLE! God has a funny way of turning my world upside down in ways I least expect:,) this won't be too long since it's only been like 3 days HAHA but I'll share a couple cool things! - last pday in roswell we went to an abandoned missile silo :0 soooo sick! - saying goodbye to the squad was TOUGH love them so much! this district was truly a blessing to me - SAW 4/6 PAST COMPS IN ONE DAY! sanders, mac, chock, and oliver... all angels to me! - drove a total of around 7 hours right back over to abilene zone.. felt like deja vu:,) - reunion with queen beames! we've served around each other a couple times & now we're comps! how cool:) - we've been runnin all over san ang:,) done a bunch of stopbys & have had some super cool experiences! - love the ward already, they're super on board to improve their missionary mindedness.. inspiring my goal this transfer is ...

exciting stuff first.... email is today cause transfers are tomorrowwwww...... drumroll..... im going back to my last zone, abilene zone, and serving as an STL in San Angelo! that was literally the last thing i was expecting but itll be an adventuuuure:,) that means my time in artesia has come to a close:( such a tragedy. artesia will always have a piece of my heart!!! soooo much happened im too overwhelmed to write about it:,) so we'll just get into the spiritual stuff now! in the middle of a lesson this past week, i had the strooong feeling that i needed to tell the person we were teaching, "i think youre just afraid of the truth & what it means for you once you find it." it caught him so offguard & he was like "uhhh nooo..." and then he switched the topic super quick. i hope it made him think but i KNOW it made me think. & another question came to my mind as i thought about that one... ARE YOU MORE CONCERNED ABOUT COMFORT OR CONVERSION? & that...
