THREE DAYS DOWN AND THE NUART IS HAUNTED

March 27, 2021

Bonjour!

I have made it through my first 3 days as a missionary!! What an amazing journey it has been so far. My district is actually the best, and my companion....ahhh even better! Sister Fronk is also from Idaho, and she's going to the same mission!! Maybe we'll be companions....*crosses fingers*

Home MTC is a really cool idea. Not only are you in a place you are comfortable with, but your family can see change first hand. The way I describe it is it's like all day seminary, but with more participation. They tell you that if you participate that it shows the Lord you are willing to learn. #invitethespirit Speaking of participating, we did a pushup competition. Home girl busted out 15!! Not gonna lie, I was a little impressed with myself.

Sister Fronk and I are already signed up for all of our TRCs (just a fancy way of saying teaching experience). We have been working really hard on focusing on the people's needs. It's just amazing hearing another person's insight on the same person. They can teach you so much!

I received this bouquet from Hallie and Kam! It has been a nice view since all I look at is the kitchen...and that reminds me that I am hungry....Really hungry.

Now, you are probably wondering what is the nuart, and why it is haunted. The nuart is the theater in town that we do plays at. It's super old and they have been doing renovations to it. Well, today mom, dad, and I painted the stairwell. The entire time I kept hearing things like footsteps or cupboard doors closing really softly. When we finished, this pile of pencils on the table...Perfectly. In. Order. All of them were placed nicely. Mom took a picture, but it wasn't there when we got home. #picsoritdidnthappen

We are a week out from General Conference!!! I AM PUMPED!!! I encourage you all to participate in #starttoday to get ready for this Easter season. Today is how you prepare for General Conference.

This is the way ;)

I love you I love you I love you

District pizza party and being spiritually swole

I've been suuuuuper bored this week. You can only sit in a chair for so many hours...and I think its getting to me. Plus I've played solitaire with myself too many times. It was really nice to have Hallie Sue over to be my companion for a hot sec, but I lost several rounds of uno... I think it'll be nice to be in the field. You and your companion are in the same boat, and your family isn't watching TV in the other room. (No offense to my family, you know I love you)

My family is at the cabin this weekend for Conference. Hasn't it been amazing?!? I love them. The way they speak plus the doctrine they preach/teach is beautiful. That has been one of my goals this week: to speak slowly when teaching TRCs. The excitement of teaching someone makes my voice speed up. Earlier this week we had to teach another district, and they told us that our speed was perfect. I think it's going well :)

My other goal is to get analogies from other people. If you have an analogy that teaches about a doctrine, feel free to write me back or DM me. I'd love to use it in New Mexico.

Yes...I have started a countdown for New Mexico (9 days!!), and Sister Fronk and I are going to be on the same plane there!! She gets to SLC about 2 hours into my layover. I'm so excited to meet her in person!!

Know that God loves you!

This is the way

I love you I love you I love you

It's so Hard to Say Good-bye

April 10, 2021

Gooood morning!!

I had to say goodbye to home MTC. I'm going to miss Brother Moody and Sister Nielsen so much!!! Brother Moody left us earlier this week and gave Alma 8:1 as his excuse. He was really just going to St. George to see family. Rude. We had a sub for the last 2 days. Enter Brother Jezek. He was chill. Sister Nielsen made us play jeopardy...and I'm really competitive. I lost which was STUPID! But it was really fun. There is a lot packed into Preach My Gospel. I think everybody should read that because it is AWESOME!!! Will you read PMG? lol

My dad pointed out that this is the last year for my mission president. That means that I am going to be saying goodbye to him, too!!

Sister Fronk and I taught this lady named Chey Ann and she was actually the coolest! She was so open and asking us these great questions. It was the best experience. However, we taught this guy named Stuart last night. Lol that was a little bit of a trainwreck for me. Sister Fronk did great. I'm so lucky to have her as my companion :)

My district said goodbye by sharing our favorite scriptures and bearing our testimonies. See the picture for their scriptures.

My district might be sweet, but they are also chaotic. We got threats with a one direction water bottle and arguing about whose baby pictures are cuter. Right now we are having our zoom pizza party and award show. But I love these guys. They crack me up.

I started my pday off in the state hospital south cemetery. We were tearing up the edges around the trees, so we could put the cement rims around the base. My pinky hurts from gripping my tool and picking up the cement. Then we were tearing up the grass so we could layer it against the sidewalk. The story is so cool though. There were bodies buried in the cemetery, but a road grader came through and took down everything. They have spent years rebuilding this cemetery and giving the patients proper graves. They will have flower beds, trees, and benches. I think it is super sweet.

I have started packing, and I am convinced that my room represents my brain right now. A disaster and packed. How are you supposed to fit 18 months worth of things in a couple of suitcases? Anyways, my room is a mess, my bed is covered in things, and I am supposed to talk in the ysa ward tomorrow. It'll be fine. I got time...hopefully.

I leave Monday morning! Wish me luck. The next email will be in NEW MEXICO!!

Know God loves you

This is the way

I love you I love you I love you

On April 12 , 2021, we arrived at the Idaho Falls Regional Airport and were all checked in within a whooping 5 minutes. Then we waited for Grandma and Grandpa to show up for final hugs.
