More Adventures

Hey y'all!

Its been a great couple of days since I last emailed! Thanksgiving was AMAZING! I hope it was for everyone! 

We started teaching this guy named Mike. He's so cool! He's been learning off and on. He comes to our Book of Mormon class! I'm so excited to work with him! 

We've taught a couple of other people and hopefully they'll keep letting us back! It's great to be a missionary! 

Funny story, there's an investigator who HATES the word y'all! He always picks on me! But, you know what they say. You can take the girl out of the South, but you can't take the South out of the girl ;) 

I had a really cool experience on exchanges (we change companions for the day) on Saturday. We didn't really know where to go and we're just kinda walking around Pasadena. We ran into this guy who's a member but hasn't been in YEARS. At first, I didn't really feel like he wanted to talk to us. But the more we got to know him, he was so sincere! I know the Lord is preparing people for us to talk to! We were walking down the street for a reason! I love the Spirit!

Quick reminder that I will be getting Facebook this week! This is an amazing opportunity to hasten the work of the Lord! My purpose is the same. I'm still inviting people to come unto Christ and make promises with him. The best way to reach me is still through this email. Thanks y'all for helping me stay obedient and focused!

I'm really enjoying my time on the mission! I love the people I get to meet! I love the Book of Mormon. I love our Savior, Jesus Christ. I am eternally grateful for Him. 

Have a great week y'all!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving y'all!

Our P-day was changed to today.

CHARLES WAS BAPTIZED!!! It was such a great day! I love the Dial family! 

We've been able to meet some great new people! I love being able to constantly meet new people!

Tuesday we had zone conference and it was amazing! Not only are we getting smart phones in February, but WE'RE GETTING FACEBOOK NEXT WEEK! I'm so excited for the opportunity to reach more people! That being said, I'm still on my mission and my purpose to bring others to Christ is the same. If you'd like to get in contact with me, still use this email :) I'll be using it strictly for my friends that I get to teach for the next 7 months. When I come home, it'll be back to normal :) thank you so much for supporting me in spreading the word of God!

I'm so grateful for so many things! I'm grateful for my AMAZING FAMILY THAT I MISS SO DANG MUCH!!! I'm grateful for all the companions I've had. I'm grateful for my mission leaders and the love they have for me and those we teach. I'm grateful for the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith, and most importantly Jesus Christ! 

I love y'all so much! Check out mormon.org for #LighttheWorld, 25 days of service! It's a great way to show the love of the Savior thus upcoming Christmas season.

This is Bro. Gillan. He's 90 years old and he always gives us chocolate pudding and candy. He's so sweet! <3

Charles Baptism!

Temples and Transfers

Hey y'all!

Transfers are today and... SIS. PARKER AND I ARE STAYING IN SUNLAND!!! I'M SO HAPPY! 

Charles is so awesome! He's getting baptized this Saturday!!! We are so excited! We were able to go with him and his whole family to the temple visitor's center on Friday. It was so awesome! Enjoy the fun pictures! 

We've got a few pretty awesome potential investigators! One of them had come to church twice and is coming to our Book of Mormon class! Exciting things are ahead! We also got to meet a member who doesn't really come to church. She's so sweet and I can't wait to get to know her and her family more! 

Fun activity from this week is we got to decorate pumpkins with the Olivia's! We had a FHE with them because Sis. Oliva has been working way too much! She needed some love!

I'm so grateful for the Holy Ghost! Without the Spirit, we cannot learn gospel truths, feel God's love, and be directed. I am so grateful that I was able to receive the gift of always having the Spirit with me, if I live worthy of it. I'm grateful for the Spirit influence on those as teach! That's how they begin to grow a testimony! 

I love y'all! Have a great week! 

Some temple pictures! Charles is the guy in the white shirt. 

Our pumpkins! And we're matching! 

Happy Fall Y'all!

Hey y'all!

We FINALLY got some cooler weather here and we're pretty sure th is heat is behind us! It was in the 60s this week and we were frozen! But I'll take that over a burning mountain!

Charles is doing awesome! We're so excited for him and his family! 

We haven't heard from Dennis or Sofia :/ but I'm sure they're still doing good! 

We found a new investigator this week. He's a former investigator and he was there the first time we stopped by! That doesn't usually happen, so we're hoping he's ready for the gospel now. He and his brother are pretty cool! 

Halloween was pretty great! We did service pretty much all day long. We had to be home by 6, so that was kind of a nice change. But it was weird being in so early.

We found plenty of creepy decorations! We didn't take very many pictures, but the ones we have are pretty great! 

I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving season because it gives us an opportunity to see just how blessed we are and show the love of our Savior by helping those who aren't as fortunate. I'm thankful for the time I have to serve those in the Arcadia California mission! I'm thankful for a Savior and His perfect gospel. 

Love y'all! Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts!

1. We saw this at another members house and had a good laugh!

2. SISTER ACTIVITY! We all tried different kinds of fruit and... I was not a fan of some stuff. We all got a good laugh! 

3. I was VERY pink for service! And I had to use my Idaho jacket cause I was so cold in the sprinkling rain! 

4. Creepy doll in someone's yard. We were driving down the road and I was so freaked out!

5 & 6. A cut out of Nick Cannon... It literally scared me half to death when we walked up to a members house!
