Balloon Dress🎈 

Highlights from this week:

-firstwatch breakfast with the Harrisonville Sisters🍨

-Zone Conference: got to see some of my favorite people🥰

-Rebekah and her mom made this cool balloon dress 🎈(I'll put a pic below)

-blitz and lunch @Panera with Sister Carter🫶 we love her

-Jeanne's dog Vivi is actually insane but so funny

-met some cool people who want to learn more😎

-the Newey's gave us the best dinner of my life🥹 it wasn't anything special but those tator tots were a tender mercy to Sister Winn and I

-had some really good lessons with our friends🙌

-ran into some members from my old area in Costa Vida😊

-matching night gowns with Sister Winn

-also I just love Sister Winn and I wish I could write everything down she does that makes me laugh but that would be a long list lol

A couple days ago we ran up to this guy Forrest who was working on his car and chatted with him about the gospel. He said Sister missionaries tried to give him a Book of Mormon exactly a year ago and he declined because he knew he wouldn't read it. He still wasn't interested BUT he took a copy and let us share a message. Even though it's not his time now it was cool to be able to give him a copy! Someday Forrest will read that book and gain a testimony or maybe one of his friends will find it. Either way it was cool to see how those previous sisters planted that seed and a year later Forrest accepted a copy of the Book of Mormon. It goes to show how God has a plan for each of us. And even though we aren't teaching Forrest now- I felt so much joy in that moment sharing my testimony of this gospel with him! No matter how others exercise their agency we can do our part by being instruments in this work and help everyone receive the gospel! we just need to open our mouths and share what's in our hearts!!

Love and miss you all!!

Transfer News🙌

HEY!!

We got transfer news on Saturday and sister winn and I are staying together for another transfer🥳🥳 we were so excited and next transfer is gonna be SO GOOD!

Highlights from this week:

-Hailey brought another friend to church so that was cool

-Moved into a member's basement apartment and she is just the cutest. We love Sister DeSantis already🫶 She's been leaving us some cute notes and snacks 🥰

-Made homemade pizza and set off the fire alarm

-Met this girl called K-love who told us some crazy stories about her seeing Jesus😃 she also REALLY wants to come to church but said the Book of Mormon was "trash"?? but then I asked if she prayed about it and she said no so that speaks for itself

-Bro. Davis took us to the nicest dinner everrr and told us his whole life story lol

He said I could go skiing with him when I get home in Dec though⛷️⛷️ so my new ski buddy is a 70 year old man

-David gave us spoon rings and got a pic with his Harley🏍

-Tracie wasn't interested at all but then we mentioned family history and she goes "ooh now that's something I'd be interested in" so cool family history miracle!

But seriously I love this work and the miracles we see everyday!! It's so amazing to see how God places people in our path at the exact right time and place! There's no such thing as a coincidence! Sister Winn showed me a video of Elder Holland talking about how Jesus Christ understands us. I can't fully comprehend exactly how he felt my pains or what that looks like but I know he did and he understands me perfectly. He understands each of us and I've been able to see that so much on my mission. I love my Savior and his sacrifice for me- and I'm grateful to be his servant 💗 I'm grateful I can share this message with others to help them find peace in Christ too!!

Love and miss you all!!

Met Andy Reid🏈

Hey!! 

Church this week was so amazing and much needed. 4 hours of church is long but so spiritually up lifting. The talks and discussions these week especially spoke to me and reminded how much God truly knows each of us individually!

 Highlights from this week:

-our 9 year old friend James is on date for baptism🌊

-met Andy Reid😎 go chiefs✌️

-animals held this week: rat, frog, ferret, pug, mouse 

-watched a baby pug and yorkie fight (and they low key attacked us)

-David made us spoon rings🥹 he was so excited because they're British spoons lol

-got Lamars donuts but didn't meet Lamar😔

-Tyler came to church again so yay!

-also went to the zoo🐻‍❄

Ok also story about how we met Andy Reid. He was baptizing his daughters boyfriend and his grandson. So we just had to bring our friends to come see it of course. The spirit was so strong during the baptism though and I can confirm that brother Reid is a crier🥲 He was so nice and in conclusion we are basically besties with Taylor Swift now but not really but we have a connection lol

Love and miss you all!!

"keep slayin girls"🙏

Title this week comes from this random guy named Mike we met the other day. We rolled down our window and had a 10 minute convo about Jesus with Mike who proceeded to give us a very interesting sermon and hyped us up for preaching the word. He wasn't interested but told us to "keep slaying" and teach God's word so thanks Mike✌️

This week was so much fun and went by SO fast! Here's some highlights:

- Texas Roadhouse with Sister Carter and Stine on Friday and the rolls did not disappoint😊 (lowkey was feeling so sick from eating too many rolls though) 

-eating freeze dried nerd clusters @ the Tanners

-Sister Winn's friend from college was driving thru Kansas City so we got to have lunch with her!

- having awesome lessons with Jason at McDonald's 🍔

-first watch for breakfast 

-pulled up to a guy who had his car window down and found him😎

-Hailey brought her boyfriend to church so now we're teaching him too

-tortilla slap challenge for district council 

-went to the temple today😇

On Saturday we rolled down our window to invite this guy to church and he said "no english" but Sister Winn totally thought he was faking it so she just kept saying  "yes you do" but he totally didn't. He was so confused and kept pointing to his wedding ring and wife and kids walking out the door. Sister Winn just hopped out and tried to use Google translate and explain but all we could say was "Jesucristo" and "El libro de mormon" so that was funny🤣 

One thing I always come back to on my mission is how important the converting power of the Holy Ghost is!! When people try to bash us all we can do is testify and share how we've come to know these things are true! It's amazing how the Spirit testifies of truth and is the only way we can gain a testimony and I'm grateful for that💗

Anyways love and miss you all!!
