 This week we went to an Amish community! It was so wild! We met up with this lady I found on FaceBook and she knows a lot about the Amish! So we went with her and her daughter to this Amish community. We went to the store and looked a little around while she told us about them. We gave her a BOM (Book of Mormon) at the end so we will see what happens! But it was so fun and I respect the Amish so much!

There was a couple days, right after transfers, last week where it seemed like everything just fell apart and it seemed to be my fault.  On top of that some of my amazing friends that I got to serve with got transferred so my support system got all changed around. So coming into this week I really focused on turning to the Lord. I really focused on have confidence in the Lord and having an eternal prospective. Looking beyond right now and looking forward to the future. I know everything in the future will not be perfect but I can see the blessings I will receive because of what I am doing right now. 

Hope- what do we hope for? We hope and have confidence that the Lord will fulfill His blessings to us! Next question- what promises did He make to us? 
There are promises for keeping the Sabbath day holy, prayer, scripture study, and just about every good thing we can do. So I decided to make a list. It was a list for me and it changed my whole prospective! So please make a list of promises He has promised to you! Pull out the scriptures look for those promises!!! Pull out your patriarchal blessing and look for those promises!!! Look around you and see the promises He has made to you and to those in the scriptures!


Missouri is really pretty even if my pictures don't look like it

 This week has been a week of miracles! We scheduled more lessons this week than maybe all of this before time put together! The past couple of days we have 8 lessons scheduled!!!!! Only 1 happened, with a member, but hey that is what Jesus Christ did! He left the 99 to find the 1!  Another miracle! One of the sweet members ordered us Dominos! Pizza is amazing! Also the STL's (Sister Training Leaders) brought us a couple of things! So much love from all the people!!  In case you are wondering why others are bringing us such, my whole district is currently quarantined. Most of us tested positive for COVID, but all of us are doing good and the Lord is blessings us all the time! I am quite tired and have most of the symptoms of COVID, but I'm doing OK. Sick or not Pizza and carmel apples are Amazing! I also tried Carmel apples for the first time, so that was fun!   President Nelson's message here is so amazing https://youtu.be/i51gcWCs-Ho

 Hello, So an amazing thing happened today! We went to a gas station to get me a soda and a soft pretzel. We went to pay and the sweet cashier lady payed for it! We were shocked and was like thank you! We were confused because we tried looking her up and didn't find her, so maybe we have to go back to the gas station!  Also fun thing- the elders we are in a ward share have Covid and the sisters in our district too... and transfers are tomorrow and we were supposed to loose the other sisters and be in an all elders district except for us. But it's all good. Tender mercy's are everywhere! The Lord sends people in our lives at a specific time and reason! I total believe this! So many times this week it has been made evident! So many stories to share but so little time!  Message of all of this email!!!  You have people that love and care about you! God is our loving Heavenly Father! He loves you more than you know!!! Things happen for a reason and sometimes...
