Ain't No Thang!






It was a speedy but full week! We had an emergency stake conference to reorganize the stake presidency, so we got to hear from Elder Craig and Dunn of the Seventy! Craig said his favorite word he'd learned here in the south was "thang" so now my theme for this week is "ain't no thang," since we said it about pretty much everything.


Get stuck ankle deep in the mud to get to a friends front door? Ain't no thang.
Stand in the torrential rain to back the car out? Ain't no thang.
Spend 20 miles to get to the Mississippi River just for the bridge to be closed? Ain't no thang.
Hold every district meeting outside in blazing wet heat because an elder has covid? Ain't no thang.
Resist temptation and strive for righteousness all the years of our mortal life? AINT NO THANG!!!


It really was a great week though, all of our rejection and scheduling struggles left us with ample free time to connect to the spirit in study. Which all paid off last night when we decided to pray over the last hour of the day. 
We had an overwhelming prompting to visit our friend Kayla. When we got there she, looked at us through the curtains and didnt answer. But we stood there, letting the minutes roll by. Somehow she eventually decided to join us on the porch. 
We talked for a little, but at one point I just grabbed the BOM and said we are here on behalf of the Lord, and He's been preparing you for this!! And I stuck the book in her hands. 
She erupted in excitement that we were going to GIVE it to her!! She told us we needed to leave immediately so she could start reading. :) the whole week was worth it just for us to be ready to be guided to her.


Other than that we had zone conf! So I got to catch up w Elder McDonough, don't worry Elder Mumford I gave him a big kiss for ya. 


Love you all! Remember that anything life may ask of you, it ain't no thang! The Savior suffered infinitely so that we could live the life we have. Any pains we have are nothing compared to what he's experienced for us.
Have a great week and #stayblessed

M&M Week

Hey yall! This week President Amos had us try to spend every waking moment of the day with members! This member & missionary initiative took alot of prep so it was fun to finally live it up! We are teaching a couple families, and hearing our members bear testimony to them was heavenly. Being a missionary is such a privilege!  One inactive member we visited asked us to feed her horses, so we went out looking for the pasture. Didn't take long to realized that we were in it! Soon we had a couple very spirited horses pushing us up against the house. Got a couple fat kisses from one of them so at least my mom can rest assured that there was no shortage of affection for her missionary this week.  I wish I could tell more stories, but alot of our friends are on post and we can't share much about the activity in Fort Polk.  In one of President Nelson's talks from conference he said, "The adversary has other disturbing tactics. Among them are his efforts to blur the line be

God Calls Mandeville To Repentance

This week was filled to the brim!! Sister van Stam left to go to BR so we're a trio this transfer until Sister Beazer goes home in August!  The heat was unreal, the humidity made it feel like 110 all week!! I passed out twice on this dudes porch and it was probably cus of the heat, or it was the fact that he was bashing us out of our minds.  We drove to the mission home Saturday morning to pick up Sister Beazer, and got to see a few missionaries get picked up by their parents. Totally didn't make me trunky:) We had an insane miracle with Caitlyn!! We felt a prompting to invite her to move up her date to next week. When we got to her house she beat us to it! Said she'd had a prompting to move it to the same date we'd been thinking! So now we're planning a tism and a temple trip for right after!!  A couple crazy storms hit us this weekend, with lightning straight up striking in our parking lot and thunder that shook the apartment!! God unleashed the call to repentance
