GREAT JOY TO ALL PEOPLE!!!

Well hello, it has been a rollercoaster week. Here are some updates for y'all: 


Kendalyn got baptized on saturday!! It was such a perfect little baptism and she is soooooo freakin amazing. The next day at church she got a call to be a ward missionary haha! She was so golden & prepared when we found her holy moly. I love her so much!! 


Our friend Octavio has a date to be baptized at the end of the month! He has some pretty hard addictions that make it difficult for him to stay clean and ready for baptism. So please keep Octavio in your prayers! 


So I am in a new area, Umatilla, and its going good but also kinda very different. I have a fun story to share..
So on tuesday we were driving down this road that is right by the river and there is brush surrounding the road. It was 5:00 so it was already dark outside and then all of the sudden a deer flew out and we hit it. It was a big deer and we were going 55mph so that poor deer got wrecked & so did our car.. & unfortunately we didn't kill it right away & it was suffering in the road so some hick guy pulled up & shot it haha. I shouldn't be laughing about it but wow, it was just crazy. We just sat on the side of the road freaking out & there were a few tears bc I KILLED A DEER AHH. So that was my first day in Umatilla.. 


On a lighter note, we had our Christmas zone conference this week which was just a good time. There were fun talents & skits & videos. We got packages from our families! Shoutout to my fam & my grandma who sent me Christmas presents, they're sitting right by my study desk haha
I just love Christmas time. I wanted to share a lil thought about Jesus Christ and the Christmas season with yall 


In this scripture an angel is speaking, 
"Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of GREAT JOY, which shall be TO ALL PEOPLE. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord"  {Luke 2: 10-11}


I love love my Savior, He was born to give us hope & great joy. He still lives and He knows you. Remember He is the reason anything is possible. I love being a missionary during Christmas, I am sad it is my only one haha


I hope you all have the happiest Christmas this week! I love you all!! Send me your Christmas cards hehe

Heyoooo it's been a rollercoaster of a week. Lots of good and not so good. But that's okay because Satan works hard when he knows we're close to something good! So I've talked about the Winterton family a lot, because we've been working with them alot and just looovveee them. But some sad news, the dad told us he doesn't want missionaries coming over anymore. We were so shocked because we didn't have any clue that they had some concerns. They also seemed so happy to have us over and we looovveeed going over, so we were very sad. Even though we aren't meeting with them anymore I have hope that they'll remember coming to church and having us over and that the spirit will keep working on them!  One huge miracle!! Kendalyn came to church! Annndd she went up and bore her testimony! It was the sweetest thing in the entire world and made me cryyyy:,) she's so good and is so happy to come back to church. I've loved teaching her!  We can listen to Chr...

Hey!! it was a good week with lots of miracles! God is good We met with Heaven on Saturday night and holy moly what a spiritual lesson! Her husband has a crazy conversion story & when he shares his testimony it's so powerful!! We were talking about Christ's Atonement and I just sat back and listened to him talk and just started crying because the spirit was insane. I love Jesus Christ and His gospel!!! It's so amazing!! The joy it brings is incomparable.  We also met with Lupe Jr who we were teaching for awhile but then passed off to YSA. He had a baptismal date when we taught him but then fell off with the elders. Which is not their fault at all haha Lupe just doesn't like the elders.. he asked us if we could teach him again. So thats kinda awkward because he has a little bit of a flirting problem but we told him he had to be meeting with us for the right reasons lol and he said he is sooo.. were gonna start teaching him again and get him baptized!  We met with our...
