May 11, 2020

hi hi!!

it has been a busy day so i will make it quick, but lots of fun goin’ on here in lansing!

• we said goodbye to the one and only sister cook!! i love that girl to death and she is gonna do great in battle creek.

bye bye sister cook :'(

• we had a temporary companion for a few hours! sister martin was just completing her mission and needed a place to stay for the night. we were blessed with the privilege to spend that time with her and learn from her! she is great.

sister martin!

• we also had a good lesson with our friend kevin! he is great and has made reading the book of mormon a part of his daily routine. he is out of town for the next week, but was still able to join for church via zoom! technology is so cool.

• on Sunday, we fasted with our friend ryan and a couple in our ward, the abels. ryan has been struggling to find answers for a very long time so we all fasted on his behalf to help him recognize answers! we met with him on Sunday, and he is hopeful to find an answer! pray for him!

also in honor of it being almost a year since i left on my mission, i want to let each of you know that this work is truly God's work. i could not imagine how close i have come to my Savior as i have been helping others to see His light. He is the Prince of Peace and our Advocate. i love Him! there is no place i would rather be (even in isolation) than in michigan sharing the gospel!

and happy mother’s day to all! i was lucky enough to call and see my whole family. i love them! and especially my dogs! scroll down to see one of the best parts of the call
