I Like To Look For Rainbows






Mission life is so so special! This week alot of our appointments fell through so I focused on ministering to my quad-mates and some of our friends that have been struggling. There are some real hard trials people are going through but I'm glad I have my fellow sisters to uplift me. The way we can get to know each other spiritually as missionaries has been so amazing and I've learned so much about charity. 
In 2 Peter chapter 1, Peter teaches us the pathway to having charity- or the love of Christ. 
"And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity."


Charity is the ultimate goal! To love people -including ourselves- as Christ loves them is the attritube we should all be seeking. But you have to build to it! I would encourage you all to read these verses and see where on this progressive path you fit. It has blessed me so much to apply this to my life! 


While this week definitely felt like I was in the trenches with some of His suffering children, I'm so so grateful that He allows me to experience the emotional depth of the gospel. Loving people is hard, sometimes they make choices that cause us and them to suffer. But Christ heals those wounds of the heart, and he can bring peace in the midst of pain. 
He can also bring warmth in the midst of biking in a rain storm. I have a solid testimony of that after this week =)


God loves you and I love 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
