212 Mojo

Another super awesome week in the KWM! I know I say that every time
but come on every week is just such a great week! So first, to explain
the subject line. This week we had specialized training where we were
introduced to this super catch concept of working hard. The quote that
they shared is this, "Water, at 211 degrees is hot, at 212 it boils.
and with boiling water, comes steam. and with steam, you can power a
train. One extra degree makes all the difference" It's such a cool
quote because it really helps us remember how hard we have to work
sometimes, but by putting in that extra effort, doing more then whats
expected and giving our ALL to the Lord we can have so much more
power! #212Mojo

Anyways, super cool things happened this week as well. We had a lot
more time to work in our area and not have to focus on meetings and
other stuff like that which was super nice! It's refreshing actually.
We have been able to see a lot of cool people. College people are
seriously my favorite! I love talking to them. So biggest miracle of
the week. (well idk about biggest but the one that sticks out the most
to me) happened on Friday. We thought we saw an investigator that has
been avoiding us and we promised the Lord that if we saw him we would
sprint over to see him. So we run across the street and as we get to
the other side we almost literally run into this former investigator
who dropped us at the start of school because he was too busy. Turns
out hes gotten used to the schedule and we starting to meet with him
again! Also the guy we thought we saw wasn't who we were looking for
at all!

Another super awesome miracle! Nechelle got baptized! It was the
coolest thing ever! After wards she told us "I can't believe i almost
said no to this" and when she came up out of the water she like
shouted "YES! That was awesome" it almost took away from the spirit
but she was so pumped you couldn't NOT feel the spirit! God is SO
good.

Anyways, transfers is this week! I'm staying another 6 weeks in
Manhattan which I am super happy about and my new companion is one of
my best friends on the mission! I am so excited, it's going to be so
sick! #212

Love you all! Thanks for the support and prayers! IT really does make
all the difference!

also... its Fall now. Getting kinda chilly!

But He Still Loves Me

our flour fun... 

                                                           Make sure that you turn the volume up all the way.

So this was a super awesome week, and as I start this letter I can't
even remember what actually happened. There was a lot! We have been
doing a lot of driving. Last week we had a stake P-day so everyone in
Salina came down and we played California Snowball fight which was
super fun, but also kind of stressful because we had to put it all on
and make sure that it was all going smooth so I definitely am super
excited for a nice chill pday with nothing to do.

Then there was this huge mix up that some missionaries in Salina took
our phone so tuesday we had to drive like 45 minutes to pick up our
phone. Then the next day we had another meeting with the stake
president and guess who took our phone again. So we had to do another
drive to pick up our phone again. haha but it's all good.

Then we had a talent show, where we were signed up to do synchronized
dancing. But we didn't have the talent to do that (trust me, we tried)
and so we chose to do a lip sync so i've attached a nice little video
of what went down, don't judge me though. We had no choice.

One day we were trying an investigator and he didn't answer, and we
were in this apartment where literally everyone we tried was super
interested so we knocked a random door and found this awesome couple
from some small town in Indiana and they were nuclear scientists
looking for a church. Pretty cool talking to them. I love serving in a
university branch everyone is here trying to learn and improve and its
so awesome.

Sorry if this was pretty boring I was trying to find some fun stories
to tell but hey some times there just isn't any, but it's all good. I
love everything about a mission, it's the best thing ever.

Love you all!

I'm Going to Wichita ‏

So this week has been such a spiritually awesome week! So much to get
done and so little time it was a little ridiculous but it's all good.
everything went super great. We drove to Salina on Tuesday before our
meeting in wichita to coordinate with some other missionaries down
there on what we were going to say and present. That was fun, then we
car pooled down to Wichita and had such a great meeting. We talked
about having a "Next Step Mentality" or always progressing ourselves
and everyone we come in contact with, "Spiritual Giantcy" (yes that is
a made up word but thats what we do here in Kansas, which basically
means becoming a spiritual giant) and "Working with Members" and how
to unite more with the members here in Kansas.

Then we got home and had a coordination meeting with the Stake
President of the Salina Stake. He is so awesome! He is so OTOI (On Top
Of It, another made up word here in Kansas) and then we get a call on
the way home after the longest day of our lives and are requested to
go give a blessing to a new born baby. That was a first. SO we went
and gave the blessing and as we were leaving the thought hit me, that
baby was with God like 22 hours ago!! That was probably the coolest
thought ever.

Then the rest of the week we planned Zone Training which took a lot of
planning and wore us out but it turned out awesome and I think
everyone ended up having a blast! Other then all of that stuff we have
seen a lot of cool miracles. Last monday we had a few minutes before
Family HOme Evening started so we went and tried this potential and
ended up finding some pretty cool college students! Miracles are
raining!

Love you all so much! THanks for the prayers and support!

Better Than Christmas

So this week has just been a spiritual downpour the entire week it was
so incredible! It started off with Zone Conference which was super
awesome, probably the best one of my entire mission. We really focused
on how Faith is not only a principle of action but a principle of
POWER and how you can gain that power when you teach. (which
ultimately means that you give your will to the fathers at all times)
super awesome! It was also kinda stressful the night before the APs
call us and informed us we had a training to give and a role play to
set up so that was a little nerve wracking but i mean for what it was
it went pretty well!

We have had some pretty cool miracles, one of them we were trying a
potential investigator and we accidentally knocked the wrong door and
this family opened their door and let us in right away. They have been
in America for one week, we shared the "because of Him" video and the
spirit was super strong and through their broken english told us how
they felt the spirit. It was awesome, unfortunately they aren't
university age so we won't be teaching them but hey doesn't even
matter.

Then we had general conference, and holy crud was that the best thing
that ever happened. We had the sacred opportunity to watch THREE new
apostles be called and we were able to sustain them all and feel that
powerful witness that they are called of the Lord. Also I wish I could
go back and re-listen to Conference and counted how many times they
said "trust in the Lord". That and keeping the sabbath day holy (which
must be one of the most important things the Lord wants us to know
right now because its everywhere, must be a pivotal commandment we
need to be living). But it was comforting to know that we can always
trust in the Lord, that everything will be okay, even when it's hard
and tough the Lord is there for you and will always make sure that
everything ends up better then you could possibly imagine. Also I
loved President Uchedorf's talk on how discipleship does not need to
be complicated, it can be super simple! I could write for the next two
hours about the things learned at conference but just remember TRUST
IN THE LORD and KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS and everything will work out!

Also in the university branch there was this competition to see who
could make the best meal, so we had super lunches between sessions so
that was another miracle, see it all does work out!

Love you all so much! Have the best week ever!

Zone Conference Picture!

Burned a shirt for year mark... turns out shirts go up in flames way faster then I thought. Just a heads up if you ever have the urge to play with fire.
