Gonzo 2 Pt 2

This week was a bittersweet one!! Saying goodbye to mandeville shattered my little missionary heart;(( 


But I had a wild weekend! The leesville sisters got crazy sick the night before transfers so pres had me and sister burrows go to GONZALES to wait for them to recover! Thats right!! I went back to my baby area! Working it was actually so healing since I was garbage at missionary work when I was there haha 


We went to a bday party and watched a bunch of toddlers beat a piñata with a metal pipe (lol cajuns am i right??), did Free jesus books again and found 11 people!! And, we got to go to church and see all the members!! They even announced that I was back during sac meeting :)) 


Then today we did our transfer to Leesville! YUP BACK IN LEESVILLE! my other baby area, and we're in a blessed lil trio just like last time! I really just got to relive my training ET today hehe


We traveled literally all. day. So we're just now getting settled! 


Heres a little miracle: Alexandria zone is on fire, there was no rain forcasted for weeks but we got a downpour on the fires last night so everyone's all welcome back! 


Love yall!!! Have an amazing 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
