Praise The Lord For Southern Women






We have found and met so many fun people this week, one of which invited us in to give us water, then asked us if we wanted to see his coolest tattoo. When we said yes we did not expect it to be below the belt, but he definitely just turned around and dropped his pants. He was right though, it was a cool tattoo.

 

 

There was one interaction that was easily the highlight of the week. We found Hunter sitting on the side of the road, and I really felt like the Spirit just grabbed the wheel. I went and sat next to him and he told us about his time in the war, loosing all his friends, and the traumas he's experienced. We asked to pray with him, and as I prayed I really didn't know where my words came from but I prayed for some real specific and hefty blessings on this guy. My testimony of the priesthood had grown ten fold by the time we said amen.

 

 

One guy we visited named Kenny bore one of the most tear-filled and beautiful testimonies I've ever heard. He has so much love for family history and I swear as he spoke I could see his angelic family gathered around him. Made me think that if I were in the spirit world there is no where I'd rather be than supporting my family, so just imagine how many angels we have with us all the time- arms wrapped around us, carrying us along.

 

 

There were some magnificent storms this week, with lightning and thunder so bright and loud that we couldn't even try to sleep through it. One night we just sat at our desks and watched. Its a terrifying kind of beautiful. God is so powerful.

 

 

Today we tagged along with the senior missionary couple to rope-drop costco, it was awesome cus my companion had never been to a costco, so I got to show her the theraputic magic of shopping in bulk. 

 

 

Southern women are THE BEST. We have been cooked for, driven around, hyped up, and bear-hugged by the sweetest and toughest women I have ever met. I can't even begin to tell you all the funny moments we've had. And the Southern accents just make them that much better. 

 

 

There are so many Southern delicacies that I can't even keep up with. My fav this week was Blue Bell ice cream. Idk what they put in it to make it so spectacular, but let's be real it's probably butter. 

 

 

My thought for this week: 

Faith is the foundation. Faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind- so make the right choice. Choose to believe that miracles will happen. A witness of our love of the Savior is our faith in him, which means we trust in his good intentions. He does not cause trouble, he gets us out of it. He doesn't plan for our pain, he plans for our salvation from it. I would encourage you all to start truly living like you love Christ, because he lived and died to show his love for you.

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
