We had to switch the fish

May 17, 2021 Hello everybody! This last week was so crazy! Super cool miracle of the week is that we have lessons with THREE new people this week and one of them was at church yesterday! It is amazing watching how the Lord is preparing people to receive the message of the restored gospel. So please pray the lessons go well this week so we can help three more people come closer to Christ! Woot woot! We had a lesson this week where we focused on trust and especially trust in God. I love this scripture in Alma 36:3  "And now, O my son Helaman, behold, thou art in thy youth, and therefore, I beseech of thee that thou wilt hear my words and learn of me; for I do know that whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day."

 May 10, 2021 Hello everybody!  This week we had the great opportunity to have zone conference! It was an awesome meeting full of new things to be learned. The big focus and theme of the meeting was to expand our vision. We learned lots of new ways to use scriptures while teaching, new ways to use social media, and how family history is a great way to do missionary work!

They asked us to envision the people we are currently teaching and envision them being baptized and then being sealed as a family and enjoying all the blessings of the gospel. It completely changed my perspective on how I view the people around me. We truly are all children of a loving Heavenly Father and we all have a divine potential. I know moving forward I will look at those around me in a new light.  We also had a really amazing lesson tis week. It was one of those lessons that we planned on teaching one thing but within

It's all about souls

May 3, 2021 Hello everybody! This week has been crazy with trying to find new people to teach. In the two weeks that I have been with Sister Pinkham, we have said "It's not about the numbers, it's all about the souls" so many times. I have come to love that phrase, and we had a couple of pretty amazing miracles this week where we got to say that phrase! The first one was on Thursday. It was Sister Pinkham's one year so we went to take pictures and while we were taking pictures this guy walked UP TO US. We didn't even do anything! He asked us when church meetings were because he wanted to come. He said that he had been looking into the church for awhile and was interested in learning more. We were able to get his name and number for the Elders. We had a rough day up to that point, so it was an awesome miracle to meet him!  The other one came from a cold text that we had sent out last week. It was this girl that asked us to pray for her, so we decided to give he
