the heaps!

July 6, 2020

this week was definitely a week! that's all i have to say, haha.  

• we said goodbye to president and sister brennan. so sad to see them go but grateful for all they have done! we got to meet the heaps through zoom on wednesday. they are great. we also got to have interviews with them in person which was really sweet! president heap actually grew up a few blocks away from me! small world.

the heaps!

• we had a crazy party lesson with ryan this week. we were able to join with the elders who are now teaching him, our new mission president, the abel's, elder christofferson's brother, and ryan, the man. it was such a powerful and spirit led lesson. ryan was able to connect really well with brother christofferson and it was a huge blessing. it was so good! we are really hopeful for ryan.

• we also have been messaging people on facebook that live in the area (who we have never met or heard of) and have had some really cool experiences! i was able to talk to one of them about some powerful scriptures from the book of mormon and she wants to learn more! i also talked to a different girl who is facing some huge trials, but God allowed me to be an instrument in His hands in sharing the gospel with her. it is so neat making connections with people through Christ on facebook! 

went to lake lansing to take pictures for facebook post. haha, sorry no pics of the actual lake

sister cooooookkkkk♥♥♥

a scripture that i have been studying a lot lately is romans 5:1-5. in short it says, "but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience." patience is a virtue i need to work on and cultivate. i know that the tribulations i face, and the ones you face, will bless you with patience to bear your burdens! God knows you. He loves you. follow Him. 

happy fourth of july!
