Groundhogs & Piano Guys

Hello! So this week we celebrated groundhogs day at Jeff's by picking rock out of holes and planting trees! :)

We also went to a devotional with Jon Schmidt - the piano guy - and his wife. It was incredible! They lost their daughter about 2 years ago in a tragic accident and they spoke about the peace, comfort and added strength beyond their own they recieved during the 2 month process of looking for their daughter and ultimately finding her body. Their experiences were incredible and the Spirit was tangible in that meeting. He also shared cool miracles that have happened that made it possible for some of the crazy stunts the piano guys pull - like putting a piano at a castle in Scotland and finding a pipe band in a day and teaching them the music in 45 mins (side note.. definitely look up Piano Guys "Fight Song/Amazing Grace" in Scotland... its incredible) 

We had an awesome lesson with James over facebook messenger and taught him about temples and the need for baptism. He is very interested in learning more and joining the church :)

Miracles have not ceased! Ive seen them time and time again. I see them and record them daily! Pray for specific miracles with faith that the Lord will provide, according to His will, and those miracles come! I testify thar Christ lives and He is ready, willing, and able to lift you in any way you need. He descended below all things and knows how to succor you.
Love you all!

Houston, we have a baptism!

Hello, One last time! :') Houston was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this weekend! It was so powerful. The spirit was tangible.  It is such a bittersweet feeling to know this is my last pday and last email. I feel so much peace and fulfillment that the last 18 months of my life have been in the service of my God.  Around 4 years ago I prayed about how I wanted to serve a mission and asked Him if that was in line with His will for me. Heavenly Father led me to a verse in Doctrine and Covenants chapter 4 that says "..if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work". This was one of the rare times where my prayer was answered specifically and written out right in front of me.  Since then, I have received many more answers to my prayers. Some answers came miraculously soon, and some took days even weeks or months. Some prayers of mine are still being answered, but I know that as I ask in faith, and do what I ...

Its P-day Again!

Hi! Soo I mentioned it Saturday, but I have been transferred! I'm in Maryvale with my MTC companion, Sister Hall. We live with two Hermanas, Cienfuegos and Robison, who also came out the same time as us! Its so fun!  Maryvale is a tad different than Northern Glendale haha. The 2 sounds you always hear are cats meowing and sirens haha.. When I told Flo, a convert in my ward, that I was being transferred to Maryvale, she looked scared, started crying, hugged me super tight and started saying a Catholic type prayer haha.. Kinda made me worried about coming down here but its really not bad, and, the Lord protects His missionaries! I haven't met too many people yet, but the ones I have met are so generous and kind! We spent Thanksgiving with the Floyd's and their friends and family! They were also super kind to us and made us feel like family.  The sealing I went to was a sealing for Jenna and William Schwartz. This is a ordinance, performed in the temple, of celest...

Roadtrip!

Heyy!! I'm emailing today because its transfer week so P-day is on Tuesdays every 6 weeks. So this was the longest week but so jam packed busy. Let's start with sad news so that we have a happy ending haha.. soo we lost our favorite ward, Sonoran Mountain, with all our progressing investigators, who we love so much, and our family away from home, the Zamarrons :( There were ward boundary and building changes. So, since transfers are this week, they fixed it all up and we got transferred out of that ward. But, we still have our 2 other great wards, and new ward, Arrowhead ranch (which actually has a lot of members we already know because the ward boundaries changed between them and Sierra Verde).  ANYWAY, I feel comfort and peace about this whole situation and... drum roll please, SISTER KNOX IS AN STL (sister training leader)!! I'm so pumped for her. She is so humble and loving and is such a wonderful example and trainer and leader. Knox rocks.  Ok so ROADTRIP TO...
