Counting Sheep

School started this week at BYU-H which means we finally have students here on campus! I am so happy to have more then 3 doors to knock on every day. I have loved to getting to meet all the new students in our wards!


Because the new school year has started our ward meeting times have changed. Both of our wards now meet at the same time. My companion and I running back and forth between both of our wards on Sunday was so stressful.


I went on an exchange with a sister in my district, Sister Tai. She is so AMAZING and we had so much fun.


My friend Keith, who I talked about a couple weeks ago, has to wait another 6 months for baptism:( I was really sad to hear that news but while I was talking to him this week he was very optimistic and had a very positive attitude about the whole situation. He has been such an amazing example to me of patience.


The past couple of weeks I have had a lot of random anxiety. It keeps me up most night thinking about the most random things. One night while I was trying to fall asleep a verse from John came into my mind. It says, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." As I have been studying the Atonement I have really come to know that it is through Jesus Christ that we can find peace and hope. Even through I continued to feel the anxiety, as I thought about that scripture and Jesus Christ I could feel comfort in knowing that I am not alone and Christ knows what I am feeling. 


Love you all! If anyone has any tips on how calm the mind at night send them my way! I feel like I have tried everything.

First Week Of The Last Transfer

Image
This is the first week of my last transfer. I can't believe it! Where did the time go? Sister Drury and I are staying together as Visitors Center Trainers and I could not be more excited. It's going to be a great last 6 weeks. Highs/Lows of the week: ☆We had our first lesson with Kennedy this week and it went so so well. She is such a faithful person. Her boyfriend, who is a member, was telling us that she is always encouraging him to go to church. Kennedy was so cute and took notes throughout the whole lesson so she wouldn't forget anything ☆There was THE BIGGEST SPIDER I have ever seen at the Visitors Center. I am sure it could have eaten me if it was hungry enough. One of the senior Elders was so brave and killed it for us. He is a true life saver ☆We got a shipment in of the Book of Mormon in Navajo. 1st edition! I remember when I was about 9 months into my mission talking to a man who was helping them translate it while he was serving his mission. At that point they we...

Yummiest Taco Soup Ever!

Image
Highs/Lows from the week: ☆I had interviews with President Bassett yesterday and it was great ☆we saw a spider tie up a fly then kill it. Kinda cool but it was inside our house so then we vacuumed them both up. RIP the fly ☆lots of exchanges ☆One of our members girlfriend wants to take the lessons so we are excited to start teaching her ☆everytime we cook we get a million flies in our house. I think there might be a hole in the window screen. ☆we gave a tour to a lady named Elizabeth at the visitors center and at the end of the tour she says "so is there a place I can go to learn more?" Why yes Elizabeth, there is a place you can go to learn more.:) She wasn't interested in staying in contact with us but we gave her a copy of the Book of Mormon and showed her the church's website. She was so interested in learning more! ☆my cousins had me and my companion over for dinner and they made the YUMMIEST taco soup. On Facebook I have been posting a series about different Chr...
