The Mormon Strut

This week was all over the place! We got pday moved to today because on Monday we went to NOLA to meet our new mission president! The Smuins are adorable and I can't wait to work with them! On the drive home we saw the fireworks on the north shore from the middle of Lake Pontchartrain on the bridge! 


We went to a couple ward parties that were SO fun. Had some of the best BBQ of my life and cut it up with the members that stayed this summer to tough out the heat. Speaking of the heat- Sister Coburn is taking it like a champ. She's been on the phone with medical all week trying to treat the 50 symptoms of heat exhaustion she's got and its been a journey. 


We did so much service this week, too! We welcomed the community to the 4th of July festival, and it was a blast. We technically can't dance as missionaries so we just swayed to the music they had going, and our volunteer coordinator called it the mormon strut hahaha. 


On Saturday our district blitzed Amite, and we got to spend the morning with the senior couple! We stopped to see the wildlife center which was actually just a field with all these rando animals in it. Man I love Louisiana.


I love yall! Grateful for God, cajuns, and THE PROMISED LAND! Happy fourth!

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
