Operation: Split The Stake!






Leesville is BEAUTIFUL. I never want to leave. 


The STLs I'm in a trio with are both at the end of their mission! It's kinda been crazy because they both are receiving big time revelation for their post-mission lives and it's rubbing off on me a little:) Also GEN CONF?!?! Whaaat so good. If any of yall missed the Saturday morning session go watch it right now. 


The stake I'm serving in is mega huge, and our new stake president is working hard on our initiative from the First Presidency to split the Alexandria stake! We sat in on the high council meeting to discuss the vision for the next 5 years and the spirit was so insanely strong as we read the direction from God to prepare this area to form multiple branches and build a temple. (Mississippi is one of only a few states in the US left without a temple, and Louisiana only has the one in Baton Rouge.) 


In Leesville our ward is mostly soldiers that live on Fort Polk, and all the friends we're teaching are soldiers too. I've never seen a town more patriotic than Leesville and I count myself so lucky to get to see it. The sacrifices they make for our freedom is insane and seeing the gospel bless their lives as they have blessed this country is incredible. 


I have a thought this week that comes from conference: simplify!! The Lord is the master of simplicity and Satan is the master of confusion. It really is as simple as choosing what feels right by the spirit. The only complications that we face come from our resistance to the will of God. Please know that His goal is your happiness, on earth and in heaven. 
And remember Ether 11:14 
"Moron did that which was wicked before the Lord" :)


Also: I sleep talk pretty bad sometimes, and Saturday night- after Rasbands talk about the Book of Mormon I might add- I sat fully up in bed and testified that the Book of Mormon is so true! Apparently I spoke for another five minutes about the truth of the church. We had a good laugh in the morning when my comps told me about my 3 am sermon. 


Have a great week yall!

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
