Week 29: long email, worth the read:)

Hello everyone:) this week I really just wanted to share my testimony with you. As I reflect on this past year, I am beginning to realize how much I have learned and grown. It is all thanks to my Savior, Jesus Christ.  If someone would have told me at this time last year, that I would be spending my next Christmas in the middle of WYOMING... I would have either laughed, cried or punched them in the face. But here we are:) God works in mysterious ways. This past year has been nothing I would have ever expected but everything I have always needed.  I've wanted to serve a mission my whole life, and I had my mind pretty set on exactly how it would go. After Covid hit, almost all the plans I had for myself and my future went down the drain. I wouldn't be able to attend the MTC like I'd always dreamed. I wouldn't get to serve in my original call to Italy, where my heart was so deeply attached. I wouldn't get to do "real" missionary work (aka knocking doors &...

BUON NATALE!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!! This week was seriously so great and I am embracing every accept of the Wyoming lifestyle:) imma come home a brand new women who knows everything there is to know about hunting, horses and hillbillies 🤠 The people here are the best and really only care about the most important things in life--family, God and animals (and their guns lol) Some highlights: - we sheared sheep. Yup you heard me. We helped our landlord shear his sheep!! We were in charge of catching the little suckers and dragging them over to be sheared. I ended up just chasing them in circles... - had an AMAZING Christmas Program at church this sunday:) so many people came! Our tiny little chapel was packed full and it made me so happy. Sis Jepson and I ended the program by singing " He Sent His Son". Tears were shed. Spirit was strong. I love Christmas sunday! - delivered a million living Christmas Cards to nonmembers who absolutely loved them!!  - had Zone Conference in Casper! ...

Buongiorno !! It was a week full of emotions here in the Great State of Wyoming. Lots of good ones, a couple not so good ones...but that's just a mission for ya;) Here's a little rundown: - we went to teach someone a lesson, but it turned into him just telling us every little reason why he claims the church isn't true:( Luckily I held back my tears (and fists) until we had left. - had an AMAZING lesson with these 2 young girls we are teaching! I don't even remember what we said cuz it was 100% spirit led and so wonderful. - we vaccinated goats. YES! Literally gave them shots hahaha. The service we do here is always so fun and interesting. I love it. This lady we helped has 200 goats! That's almost more than the amount of people that live in this town 🤣 - we had a beautiful fast and testimony meeting on Sunday. It was the first one I've been to since February--holy cow I've missed hearing others testimonies.  An old women in our branch got up and shared her ...
