Cannon, Sydney

We had exchanges this week!! And it was awesome. We have amazing sister training leaders. But also high key stressful. Cuz I stayed in the area with one of the STLs, sis Boyce, and sis cozzens went with the other STL to North Marion. Which meant I was in charge of the area for 24 hours. Ahhhhhhhhhhh. (I dont have anxiety, you do) But it was actually so good. I love sister Boyce, she is so kind and funny! And she trained my mom, sister Cozzens, so she is my grandma, lol.  Anyway, I feel like the Lord showed me my potential, like wow I actually CAN do this. I had so much confidence in myself and in the Lord during the whole exchange, cuz I literally had to, it was the only option. And I also had to do all the driving and anyone who knows me knows driving scares me. And one of the towns we're over, Grand Ronde, is 20 minutes away so yeah, lots of driving. And I felt prompted to go to Grand Ronde during proselyting time, and I was like 'oh no Heavenly Father, please don't make ...

OKAY, wow busy busy busy. SO it's been like 2 weeks since I emailed but that's cuz we took a new convert to the temple on friday!!! And when we go to the temple we have to make that day our P-day, so we literally went 10 days without P-day, haha but it was all good. The temple was AMAZING!! I just love the temple. Whenever I'm in one my soul just feels like its home ❤ so worth it. But yeah that basically took up the whole day so there was no time to email.  But teaching has been going great! We have found a new person literally every week since we've been here, so cool. So many miracles. And theres this one sweet Gal who we found last week from a member referral. Her name is Sharon and she lives in an old folks home. And her friend, Don, who is a member, gave her a book of mormon 2 weeks ago and shes already in MOSIAH??? Whatta womannnnnn. Sharon is literally the coolest. She just loves the book of mormon, because she understands it and it makes her feel good and shes d...

First of all, FAITH IT TIL YOU MAKE IT!!!  As you all know, I am currently being trained and I spend a lot of my time "winging it" in situations cuz Syd doesn't know what the heck she's doing anytime ever. So I say 'fake it til you make it' a lot and whenever I say that Sis Cozzens is always like, "NO!!! FAITH it til you make it!" Haha and I just really love that cuz its true! I have to rely on Heavenly Father to help me (faith) or I would NOT be able to do this! Faith is so so important, but also like really hard. It definitely takes a lifetime to get it down. But it also makes life a little easier. When we stop worrying about things we cant control and put our trust in God, everything seems to fall into place.  Anyway this week has been pretty chill I think. I got sick tho with a pretty awesome cold so that's good. Love talking to random strangers with a stuffy nose. It leaves a really good first impression. Lol but anyway it's kinda going ...
