Convicting Their Hearts

The most BLESSED week. This was the most success I've seen since I got here, and building this area from the ground up these last 3 transfers has been so rewarding!! 


We started the week by getting cancelled on all evening! Yay! Jk. But we saved the night by sneaking cookies to a ton of people on behalf of the ward- so we had to hide that it was us. We ding dong ditched like 20 people with only one mishap when i tripped over a tree and log rolled into a ditched. Still got away without getting caught ;)


Later we met an ex-con that requested to study with us, and ended up at the halfway house he lives in with 6 other excons. This concerned us, the ward, the elders, God and our mamas so we now have permission to do visits with a brother from the ward! We went out with a member of our bishopric one night, on his BIRTHDAY! Stud. 


We've been prepping Caitlyns baptism this week- she just passed her interview YAY!- and it has been SO fun!


I have seen SO MANY BLESSINGS this week as I've had to talk with Pres Smuin about my go-home date. God has lined up the lessons and revelations he's shared with me so far absolutely perfectly. I know His plan is perfect, and that our joy comes from our ability to see it through His eyes. Read your scriptures, say your prayers, and keep your covenants!! You need them to truly be at peace in this life. Love 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
