GURT

Hey guys!!

This week was actually SO GOOD and missionary life is the best! We named our van "gurt" in honor of mine and sister Jackson's dad's names. Kurt + Gary= gurt 😎 so we've been loving gurt and all the missionaries want to ride in gurt because it's the party van 🥳 Also it was my birthday on Tuesday so that was fun!! I'm no longer a teenager and I feel so old when I say I'm 20 years old now- kinda weird. We had dinner at our bishops house on Sunday and they made me a cake!! I blew out the candles and then I dropped the cake when trying to move it so that was a hot mess pahha. 

We had so many good lessons this week, especially with the Deng family. So I told y'all about our friend Angui and his kids Deng and Christina- well we've been teaching them for a couple weeks now and they're LOVING the Book of Mormon. We invited them to pray about baptism and Angui said he believes the Book of Mormon is the word of God😇

On Saturday, we invited the Deng fam to a baptism last minute and Angui and Christina came and they loved it!! Angui literally stood up to see the girl get baptized and he thought it was so cool how we do baptism by immersion. He said he's interested in getting baptized but he wants to learn more about our church- which fair enough because he honestly hasn't been taught a lot but he's so elect!! They all came to church on Sunday and everyone was nice!! We went to young women's with Christina and it was so much fun. She's really shy but she was smiling at the end so that made us happy. Deng literally already has plans to go to a basketball game with one of our members so #bestiesalready 🙌

Being a missionary is definitely hard but it's moments like these that make it so worth it!! I can't explain how much joy I had on Sunday when Angui and his kids came to church. The spirit was so strong and it makes me so happy to see how the Book of Mormon has answered their questions. It's so amazing how Jesus Christ is always the answer. He provides so much hope and comfort. Even when he doesn't calm the storms, he'll calm us during the storms. I love serving Him and seeing His light impact other's lives💗

Love and miss you all!!
