HOWDY YALLL!! The past two weeks have been hectic, but in a good way! But here's the past two weeks in a baby nutshell:

- ZONE TOUR!! we had zone conference with Elder stanfill and it was sooo cool!! The spirit was so strong! He talked a lot about member work and having members present at lessons, needless to say we set up a crap ton of MPL's after that lol!

- MLC WITH ELDER STANFILL! HOLY GUACAMOLE😇🥑the spirit in that room was insane! He left us with an apostolic blessing, it made me cry

-LOTS OF ROAD TRIPS!! more meetings= more driving= MASSIVE contacting sessions

- ITS TOASTY! The weather here is wack but the past two weeks have been so hot haha! The humidity here is soooo nice except when you're tracting 💀heat stroke ain't for the week lol

- PRAYER WORKS! I've been praying so hard for miracles this week, we got doors slammed haha. But on Sunday we had TONSSSS of soldiers come to church!!! Even in the family ward we had a few of our friends come! God just decided to teach me patience this week😂

-REFRESHING THE TEACHING POOL😪 I've decided that being a missionary is like going tubing... it's a game of how long you can hold onto the people you're teaching before you have to let go... 🚤

Let's just say we had to let go lots this week! Dropping people used to make me so sad but I've started to change my perspective to letting people "marinate" or letting God prepare them more for the next missionaries that come in. We were able to find some cool people that are willing to keep commitments 😎

Invitation:

For my missionaries:

Pray to know if you have been called by a prophet of god, read the last paragraph in ur mission call letter!

Last week I tried this and I feel like it changed my mission for me. I realized that obviously we sustain the prophets and apostles and were called by a prophets and apostles. But sometimes we doubt ourselves, we hold back. I realized this week that when i do doubt myself and I hold back I'm not sustaining myself or the prophet. Once I prayed about it, it became easier for me to sustain the prophet and myself through my actions.

For my missionaries w/o a tag: ask god how he feels about you and your mission here on earth!
