anotha day anotha dolla! i had some incredible spiritual experiences this week! i just want to testify that i know that god is so aware of each of his children! hes aware of YOU! - gratitude journals are such a blessing! thanks to uncle j, i have been writing in one my whole mission & its helped be get through some of my hardest times. i was able to give one to a sweet sister who just started her mission & is really struggling & she has already said that its helped her so much!! god is blessing us with all kinds of tender mercies daily! - we've been given Light the World passalong cards & we've been trying to get them out to people. I've realized that its a blessing & a curse to be serving here in Texas... so many people have been open to talking about god (HUGE blessing! i love it!) but as soon as we introduce ourselves as missionaries & ask if theyd wanna learn more, they shut down. its been very thought provoking for me recently.. how am i going t...

sorry the email is coming late y'all... oh well:,) we had a solid week! did an exchange with sweet sister hoyt & then had an AMAZING zone conference. we also butchered the turkeys were gonna be eating on thanksgiving! san angelo has just been a wild ride between stl stuff & crazy ranch service... pretty amazing! mission emotions are a roller coaster... I'm honestly struggling a lot right now BUT I'm also feeling so grateful. I know I have to have the hard times in order to grow! & I have seen a lot of growth so for that I feel blessed. the worlds gonna see a Sage 2.0 soon! my uncle Jason gave me a gratitude journal at the beginning of my mission & it has helped me recognize the tender mercies of god SO much! I am amazed at the strength the lord has provided me & I am so humbled to be serving in this capacity! so in honor of Thanksgiving & feeling grateful to be grateful:,) here are some recent things I've been grateful for! 1. wearing boots &...

I'm gonna hit yall with a highlight reel again cause this is like 2 weeks worth of fun info - me & sis beames were the lone sistas that went mountain biking with the elders last pday... on our dinky roadbikes HAHA it was so funny - mike played in a wheelchair basketball game which was so cool to watch. there were these two guys that play for a full contact tackle wheelchair football team... don't know how that works but it sounds dope - we did a good amount of member lessons this week since sis beames is getting ready to leave! some of my favs were making cupcakes with sis albright & talking with her about recogniz...
