It Takes A Village

We started this week with exchanges! Sis leavitt served in mandy last year so it was so fun to welcome her back! We stayed up late chatting and getting haircuts, what more do you need for a girls night??:)


We served Sky again this week, and this time she had us digging 5, 2 ft holes and we were running on straight will-power by the end! Felt good to work my muscles that hard.


We had Caitlyns baptism this weekend! We had a lil scare the morning of, satan cut the power in the building so we were calling everyone making plans to move it to a pool. Just in time, the power kicked back on! Not today satan! 
I was so impressed by our ward for doing such an amazing job. So many people pulled up to support her! Caitlyns sister is a member, too and gave the cutest talk, Caitlyn felt so special!! 


Things got tough for her right after the confirmation. Her family at home was pretty overwhelmed by it all, and walked out. So, she called us for help and almost immediately we had 6 people at her door to give a blessing, offer babysitting, and listen. This ward shows up for each other and I am just blown away.


Caitlyn has been a huge example to me of committment. She knows the truth, and the blessings of living it no matter the trouble she encounters along the way. We can all learn something from that kind of diligence. 


I love yall! Keep choosing the right and things will work out:) have a great week!

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
