Baptized By Diet Coke






WOW what a week of miracles!! We demolished all our goals!! 5 friends pulled up to church, and 2 are now on date! One of them was Rachel, who we met doing Free Jesus Books a few days ago, and she just pulled up to church and cut it up like she was part of the ward!! 


Our friend Nicole came for the first time, too! She's the one that I got to teach last year, and seeing her embraced by the ward made my little heart so happy.


We also had some goofy lessons:


Our friend Russell is a college professor and likes to rapid fire questions at us. He sets up 3 stools on the porch and paces his yard telling us what he learned from the BOM. Makes me feel like we're a panel of judges about to send him to hollywood. 


We met Jonie in her home for the first time! At one point a giant grasshopper jumped onto my hand and I threw it off, launching the diet coke I was holding into the air and drenching my companion in it. Definitely broke the ice in that relationship.


We also had our friend Alicia ask us what the compass in 1 nephi was. We explained the Liahona and said that we'd answered another question! Her friends mom was a member, and had died when he was little, so he never got to ask her why she named him Liahona. So Alicia was excited to find out the answer for him hahaha


Love yall!! 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
