Finding And Grinding






This week flew by, we really put our heads down and got to work.


We straight up have a blank area book so the finding grind has been real. We can't knock doors so we try to get people to approach us, giving out free Jesus books is our most successful way of finding- it is seriously awesome to see the faith of people willing to pull over for teenagers with sweaty faces and homemade posters. 


Unfortunately it does mean we find alot of people outside our boundary and gotta hand them off to other missionaries:(( but we trust God's plan for their conversion and keep our heads up.


My cool comp is an ASL missionary, so every night she does language study which is an hour of listening to music while she signs the lyrics. It's such a fun stress reliever after getting chiefed all day by bible-bashers :))


From the interactions we've had this week, I've seen one common theme emerge. 
The book of mormon changes EVERYTHING! 
It's critical to our happiness that we are constantly studying the doctrine layed out for us in the BOM. 
The doctrine of God's gospel is eternal and unchanging, we can learn of the same truths that were revealed to Moses, Abraham, Nephi, even Adam and Eve. 
Many people that we meet here are dedicated Christians, that are still searching for answers to the big questions. One man we met declared that He knew Jesus and would therefore be saved. But He struggled with the idea that people who don't know Christ-or were faced with such struggled that they never built a relationship with him-would be rejected from the presence of their loving Savior. The book of mormon answers EVERY question you could have about life- I promise. Read it!!!


I'm slowly falling in love with the Gonzo area! Waffle House this morning was the most southern experience I've ever had- but eating grits drowned in butter was a one time thing for me.
The 100% humidity is actually heavenly, and the weird looking bugs have turned out to be more fascinating than bothersome. No where I'd rather be!


God loves you! Never forget it!!

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
