Baptism is the way and joy is the reward - February 26, 2018

Hi everyone! It has been a crazy wonderful week! On Wednesday we had transfers. I said a sad goodbye to Sister Fisher and brought a new missionary to life! My new companion's name is Sister Nelson. She's 21, from Salt Lake, and has been attending the University of Utah studying pre nursing. She is amazing!!! Although she just came from the MTC, she is such a naturally gifted missionary and has been preparing to serve a mission for so long! I'm very lucky to be her companion! Oh also, it's been snowing!! Not the usual Washington weather, I think my companion brought the Utah weather to Washington! Friday and Saturday were long days of working hard and seeing lots of different people! We witnessed so many miracles these days! One of the miracles was teaching spunky 83 year old Marilyn. She fed us rotten cake and club soda and talked our ear off and then offered a prayer that lasted 20 minutes! She wants her baptism by immersion and is preparing to be baptized on March 2...

I love the Watac - January 21, 2019

Hi everyone! Thanks for tuning in to the best year and a half of my life. My mission has meant the world to me and I look forward to talking to each of you about it. Attached is my final report from the mission. Although there aren't words to describe all that I've learned and felt, here's a summary of a few of the things I've learned and who I've become. You're all invited to come hear me speak this Sunday, January 27th at 9am. The address is 160 South 460 West Salem, UT. There will be breakfast afterwards at my house! See you all soon! Love you!

Come What May and Love It

If I were to summarize my mission in one statement, it would be advice given to Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin’s from his mother: “Come what may and love it.” It is a quote that I have often reflected on throughout my mission. I have learned that reflection is not simply looking, it is seeing. First glance is inadequate; reflection allows us to not take things at first glance, but to see nuances, details, and eternal intervention. As I have reflected on my mission, it brings me joy! It hasn’t been by looking at the things that can be measured, but by recognizing the Lord’s hand throughout my mission. Throughout each area that I have served, I have come to feel His joy, trust Him, and love it. My decision to serve: A full-time mission is something that I've always had the desire to do. As a little girl, I dreamt of serving a mission and enjoyed singing "I hope they call me on a mission." Later on as I grew old enough to begin my papers, I felt that I should receive my own perso...
