One Month???? (Ish)

Hey all!! Have I really been out here for almost a month already????? It feels like I got here yesterday!! But it also feels like I've been here for 15 years??? SOS. Haha Jk missions are THE BEST


Anyway so this week was pretty chill I think. We had exchanges on Tuesday and Wednesday and it was so fun!!! Its like a super uplifting, spiritual sleep over!! But I really needed it because ever since I came on my mission I've had all these confidence issues surface and it's super great, love that for myself. But anyway exchanges were great and were a much-needed confidence boost because miracles happen on exchanges!! And it just gave me a lot of perspective because I've had such tunnel vision focusing on everything I'm doing wrong and the exchange helped me focus more on what I'm doing right. God is so good. 


Going along with that, one night this week I was definitely NOT crying, and my comp shared Alma 8:31 with me- which is where Alma and Amulek (dream team) were cast into prison because literally the whole city hated them and didn't want to hear the gospel- and when they were in the dungeons it reads
 "nevertheless they did not exercise their power until they were bound in bands and cast into prison". 
And I love that because it says they didn't receive power until they needed it. And I think that maybe that's how it is with us as well. We dont get the strength and power we desire until we truly need it. God gives us challenges and heart ache and pain so we can have POWER!!

Anyway I love Willamina and I LOVE the people here. I know it's where I'm supposed to be, I can feel it. I have this urgency to share the gospel that I didn't have in Battlecreek/Turner. It's like I'm being pulled to certain people. Idk it's kinda weird but also like so cool. Talk to y'all next week!

Haha yeah I'm getting a little stir-crazy...  And its raining........ Things have been good tho. We started teaching a new lil honey, almost put them on date, and could possibly drop them today, And We have virtual lessons with members every night which cures my depression I love the members here ❤  Not much else has been happening... Ashley is AMAZING and progressing so well!! She just eats up everything we teach her, and is SO excited! I love her, shes also pretty hilarious.  Nothing can stop the work of God!!!  We were supposed to get transfer calls last night.... but that never happened. Idk what's going on... ever, it's fine. I could get yeeted outta B-ville on thursday or I could stay for 2 more months. Or all the missionaries will get sent home. Idk man.

ONE YEAR???????

Image
Well, folks, we made it -- ONE YEAR!!! Honestly never thought it would happen, but God is so good, and He loves us too much to let us fail.  The work is going well, we found out one of the less-active members we're working with may not be a member at all! He cant remember if he actually ever was baptized. So that's kinda exciting, in a weird way. Probably not something I should be excited about  Thoughts: I think sending sis Mecham home was a real eye-opener for me, and kind of a reality check. Like missions don't last forever. Going into a church and having everyone instantly love me because of a tag, will eventually end. And even at Walmart we get stopped every time by people who want to talk to us and thank us for our service -- members and non-members! I'm gonna miss that.  Also, training is wack. Ive never been so aware of my weaknesses. also My child is a bit of a rebel, so I think the Lord is giving me a taste of my own medicine! Lol. BUT I FREAKING LOVE HERA. Sh...
