hey hey!! this was transfer week and i have LOVED being with sister olson! she is the stinkin’ cutest and we are having lots of fun. i have really felt an added measure of the spirit the past week and i am so grateful for it. here are some highlights:)

transfer pics!

 

we got to see sister cook and sister harris in battle creek!!

• we had sister ison stay with us for a night! she is the SWEETEST. she is getting reassigned so we said goodbye to her and i am so grateful that i could spend that short time with her

also sister ison♡♡♡

• we had a second bible study with our friend christina! she is the cutest. she was never raised to be religious so she is really building a relationship with God for the first time ever. she said in the past week, she had recognized herself being simply happier. and she shares with her family all of what we studied in our lesson. i love her!

 

• we fasted on friday to have the Lord's help in reaching our stake's baptismal goal and we had so many great connections with people the next day. i love how the Lord is so willing to bless us when we make small sacrifices in our lives for him

 

• we had district council in person this week! it was such a spiritually edifying experience and was a great reminder to me of the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. there is nothing more important than that.

 

okay so some really cool things i have been learning about! we had a really cool training from president gentile (member of the mission presidency) and he talked all about how chaismas is all throughout the book of mormon specifically in alma. it was so powerful because he was referencing chapters i was currently reading! it made me want to really stop and think more deeply about what i am studying. one scripture that i have loved is alma 36:24 "from that time even until now, i have labored without ceasing, that i might bring souls unto repentance; that i might bring them to taste of the exceeding joy of which i did taste". there is no other reason for me or any other missionary to do what we are doing except to bring help others to taste of the exceeding joy that comes through the atonement of Jesus Christ. i know there is nothing more important than this work! 

 

talk to y’all later!!
