HEllo!

hello!

life has been crazy the last few weeks!

i got to go to the temple last week! i love the temple! i wish we could go more often! but my work is currently with the living! and i love it! the drive was 2.5 hours each direction- and i got to drive it. it was so wonderful and refreshing.

then this week pday was weird again because of labor day and mission leadership conference (for zone leaders and sister training leaders). finally it is a normal pday! i can get stuff done!

we are seeing miracles everyday! i love it! i just love being a missionary! 

sister woodfield, my companion, is awesome! i love working with her! she is hilarious and we laugh a ton! plus we get to see the other sisters in our district a lot. i love them too! missionary work is work, but it can be fun work! 

we have some investigators! awesome right? we don't always have a ton of those so it is nice to be teaching people! i don't know if all of them will get baptized right away but we do have one, ana. she is legit! a member of the branch invited her to hear him speak in church. she came. we met with her. invited her to be baptized. she said yes! missionary work is fun!

transfers are coming up this week. i wonder what will happen this coming week! i would love to stay companions with sister woodfield but i have never had a companion that long or trained anyone past the first 6 weeks (except myself). i told her that i don't know what to do with people after 6 weeks. i would wake up in the morning on the day after transfers and ask her, "why are you still here?" that would just be weird!

i love this work. i know that it is god's work that i am doing here in lewiston! we have been learning about the atonement a lot in this mission. it is awesome! i love the atonement. jesus christ really did suffer and die for us. he was resurrected. and he lives! i am coming to know this personally more and more for myself. not only by the words of others but by the spirit. through the spirit is how i am getting to know it for myself. the atonement helps us through everything! christ suffered everything for us! because of that, he knows us perfectly. he is god's greatest gift to us. 

"for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life." (john 3:16)
