The day the Prophet called me

Hello, Hello! This week has been one crazy week!  On Monday  I said goodbye to Sister Olsen and at the same time said hello to Sister Anderson. And oh my is Sis. Anderson gorgeous!! She's also a stick!! But because I have 6 months to sexy, we have to go kind of on a diet. As much as I want to be skinny... I also just wanna pig out 🤣 but I'm not gonna... hopefully haha. Can you believe that I will have been out for a year  on Thursday ?? How insane is that?! This has been the fastest year of my life! And before I know it I'll be getting off a plane!! Eek!! I think I've accomplished more in a year while being on a mission than I have in my whole life!  Missionary work is definitely about pushing through things... except when it's a pug. But that's a whole other story. I'll send the video later. We have done lots of doorknocking this week and have gotten a lot of copies of the Book of Mormon through the door. I hope you have all seen my post on Faceboo...

The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. I know I post about the Book of Mormon a lot, but I absolutely can't get enough of it. The Book of Mormon is true! The peace that comes from reading even one chapter, page or verse is overwhelming at times. The Book of Mormon is for us in these days. God wants us to know about the plan that He has in store for us and He wants us to be happy. The Book of Mormon helps me to find answers and to to find peace. Pick it up. Se arch it's pages. God has so much in store for us and the Book of Mormon is only a small part of God's Great and Eternal plan. I invite all to read it, ponder it's teachings and then to ask God if it is true. He will manifest the truth of it into you by the Spirit.Moroni 10:3-5 shares moroni's promise to all that ask in God in faith about the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon.

Yesterday, our investigator Bob was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Tofay, he received the companionship of the Holy Ghost. It was a truly amazing experience to be able to see such a great man find the Church that fits him. Baptism and confirmation by proper priesthood authority is amazing. The baptism is for eternity. The holy ghost can be with us everyday as long as we let it. Bob- Sister Olsen and I are so grateful for this opportunity that we had to knock on your door and be able to be with you through this journey. You have truly changed our lives and for that we are so grateful. We hope that you continue to learn and grow and to increase your faith in God. You will bless so many people's lives. The spirit radiates through you and you will be the means of bringing many people to Christ.

Sorry for the late email!! But this past week has been a blast!  Friday  was a bit stressful due to transfer calls being WAY later than normal. Sadly, Sister Olsen and I will not be staying together. Thankfully though, she's not going too far away! She's getting transferred to Midland and I am staying here in Bay City and getting Sister Anderson as a companion.  Now, for the good news... BOB GOT BAPTIZED TODAY!! It was a mix of emotions as we watched him step into the water and make sacred ordinances with our Heavenly Father. He even asked us to sing a musical number of How Great Thou Art after he came back in to the chapel and he was bawling! It took all we had not to look at him as we were singing so that we didn't cry either! He will get confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and receive the Holy Ghost.  But, in other words, I'm almost to 12 months (aka 1 year)! I almost have 6 months left on my mission! Time flies!!!...

Does God hear us? Does he actually care about me? Is God my Heavenly Father? The answer to these questions is simple. Yes! God hears you. He loves you. And he IS your loving Heavenly Father. Pray and ask and He will give you the answers you are seeking at this time. He may not answer immediately, but His answers come in His own time, in His own ways.

This book is by far my favorite book to read. Today, I finished reading it for the 4th time on my mission and I always seem to learn something new from it every time I read it. The Book of Mormon has helped me to know how to become a better missionary. It truly does testify of Christ and how we can become like him. It helps us to know more about the Plan that God has in store for us. Most importantly, it teaches us how to  repent and to know how to make amends. Repentance is never a hard thing. Yes, at times it is. But repentance is such a blessing. I have been able to feel a burden that I didn't know was there be lifted off of my shoulders by asking God and others for forgiveness. I love being able to repent daily. Not for the big mistakes I made, but for the small ones that we as people make daily. God wants to forgive and help you to move on. So the question is, will you let Him? Want to learn more about the Book of Mormon or about repentance? 

So sorry about last week! My phone decided it didn't want to send my email to you guys and I found out the next day! I was just as shocked as you guys!!  But, the week before went great! We gave Bob a church tour and he absolutely loved it!! He wasn't able to come to church the day after, but he promised that he would be coming this Sunday. AND HE DID!!! He said he loved it!! He is on date to be baptized  July 7 ! He is so excited!! But, back to the week before. Last P-Day we went to Frankenmuth. We were able to see the biggest Christmas store in the world! It's called Bronners and it's AMAZING!! I'll try to send some pictures later after this email gets to you.   This week, we had to drop a lot of investigators. It was pretty sad. But, we are hoping to be able to pick up new investigators through Door knocking, referrals, and former investigators. Hopefully we see lots of miracles!! We had 3 investigators at church this Sunday!! All of them are on date! We ...
