happy new years!!🥳

Hey guys!!

This was such a good week, even though I say that every week lol. There's definitely highs and lows to missionary work but I just wanna focus on the highs. This week we put our friend Tim on date for baptism!! I mentioned how Tim came to church last week and that was the first time we met him in person. We gave him a Book of Mormon and marked a chapter and he read it and loved it! He always says how it's speaking to him and he really feels seen when he reads it. Well... we had a lesson with him and asked him to read Mosiah 18. No joke, literally 20 minutes later he had already read it and messaged us asking to be Baptized. I'll put a screenshot below because it was so cool. Anyways Tim is so cool and he's so ready to learn about the gospel and he just loves learning about how he can become more like Christ!! He also loves meeting people at church because they're so welcoming and friendly. 

We also went to Liberty Jail this week with our friend Becky and her kids. I love bringing our friends we're teaching to Liberty Jail because it's such a great way for them to learn more about Joseph Smith and all that he did to help restore the gospel. We also had exchanges with the Kearney/YSA Sisters and it was so much fun. I got to experience the YSA ward for a bit and that was cool. 

We also had mission leadership council this week so that was fun. We found out transfer news this week and I'm staying in Kellybrook!! Sister Asper is leaving to train another Sister though but it's for the best. She's on her last transfer and she's been wanting to train for a while now. I'm excited to see who my new comp is going to be, but also sad to say bye to Sister Asper. This transfer has been so much fun. 

Also I was thinking about where I was one year ago and it's crazy how much you can change in a year. I was preparing for my mission but now I'm almost half way through and I'm just loving missionary life. My testimony of Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon has grown so deeply and the more it grows the more my desire to share it with others grows. I'm excited to keep sharing the gospel in 2024!! 

Love and miss you all!
