Technology Mission!

Hey y'all! I hope your week was pretty great! Some of you have seen me on Facebook, I'll try not to drive you crazy with posts, but I just wanted to tell you the rules! I can't like or reply to any comments or posts until p day, and I can't chat on messenger! So please email me!

We have a baptism scheduled on Feb. 24th and we are so grateful. I'm also so grateful for the people that got me on my mission so that I could meet learn from others! I'm so grateful for the cousins that have served before me, and with me! I'm so grateful for that aunts and uncles that showed me their awesome example by serving and especially for my parents! 

Technology in the mission is so cool! We were able to teach someone via Skype on Saturday night! So dang cool to teach someone four hours away from us and to still feel the spirit so strong! We taught her the plan of salvation, and told her about temples and how we can do our family history and she loved it! She's so excited to go to the Dallas temple after she's baptized!  We're hoping we can get permission to go with her, but the chances of that happening are super low. We're going to teach her again via Skype this week! We are so excited!

At church yesterday, one of the talks was on following the prophet and they talked a lot about how President Neilson was a heart doctor and a really great one at that. Then she brought up the scripture in Malachi 4 about turning the hearts of the children to their fathers and how perfectly this prophet was called. He is someone that works on hearts, and he will be spending his ministry turning our hearts to the father. It is truly marvelous how the Lord works. I am so excited and happy to be a missionary at this time and in this dispensation. I know that the work we are doing with technology will only help hasten the work if we use it to fulfill our purpose. I love that the prophet and the First presidency and the quorum of the 12 have so much faith and trust in us to use these tools for good. I am so excited to see how it will further the work in Natchitoches, and in the Louisiana Baton Rouge mission! I love this gospel, and I love the light and happiness it brings me. I know that I would not feel this happiness without my cousins and family pushing me to go out and serve! I love being a missionary! I can't wait to see what the next year and a little, will bring!
Right outside our apartment, it was probably four inches deep in some places. Thanks for the rain boots mom!


It rained for two and a half days straight, this is the result, LOVE the rain! don't love what the humidity does to my hair, lol

It's The End of The World As We Know It

We went to the American Cemetery  to look for some of my ancestors Hey y'all! I'm just here, in the greatest state in the US surviving flash floods, and tornadoes. Hope y'all are having fun with the snow! We woke up Wednesday morning to the sound of tornado warning sirens, Shortly after getting our 72 hour kits and other necessities in the car, we got a call from president Varner to drive to the Alexandria Stake center and stay there until it passed. so we get on the road for an hour ish, long drive there, and the wind and rain was so bad we could barely see, so we were driving pretty slow. Shortly after that, everything clears up, it stopped raining, but the wind was still really bad. As we are starting to speed up a little bit, we see it. The biggest Cyclone I've ever seen. bigger than the one on The Wizard of Oz for sure. So we speed up, and we're all freaking out as it gets closer and closer to our car, we're all screaming individual prayers for

Mardi Gras hat I saw at Walmart Hey y'all! I hope y'all are doing great! I hope everyone is having fun with the snow! We finally got rid of ours, and it's back up to nice 60 degrees every day! This week was so great! We moved into our new apartment and it's sooo big! I, of course, got the biggest closet, so you could say I'm pretty happy with the move. I'll try to send a video tour of it! On Friday we met with someone at NSU campus to set up a booth and find new investigators that way. We are very excited to stop knocking doors, and find people our own age to teach! We will start that tomorrow! After that we went to Many for a technology training meeting that was four hours long! But! We get our smartphones soon! which also means, coming Febuarary 8th or so, you'll see me on Facebook! Don't worry! I haven't come home or broken any rules! Also, all you future missionaries out there reading this, be so grateful for the missionaries that h

Last P-day in The MTC

Image
Hello everyone! I hope you all had really great weeks! I finally got over my cold, I have a lingering cough but it's not bad. Not being sick makes being here much easier to endure and enjoy. This is my last Pday in the MTC! and my last P day until Christmas. That is really weird. It doesn't feel like Christmas. Probably because there is no snow, we aren't allowed to listen to Christmas music, and the decorations we got from some sisters that left last week are really pathetic.  So every Sunday in the MTC you have to have two five minute talks prepared on some topics they give you, and then when sacrament meeting starts, they announce the program, and that's who you know is speaking in church that day. My name was called, of course, and I had to speak on faith. So I get up there and I say, "good morning brothers and sisters" and I'm like, oh oops, dang. "sorry, Elders and sisters." so that was really embarrassing. Then I keep going, talking ab
