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 ...

CIAO from freezing cold Wyoming! This week was fun:) we're getting super excited for Christmas over here and telling every person we meet about Light The World. I love being a missionary during this time because I get to completely focus on the true meaning of Christmas and share the joy that comes from Jesus Christ with everyone! It was a bit of a slower week with appointments falling through and people not answering, but we pushed through and still saw some little miracles. I hit my 6 months as a missionary! So crazy. I swear I've been out here for like 4 days. But at the same time I feel like I've been a missionary my whole life HA! I am so incredibly grateful for these past 6 months and everything I have learned. I would not trade them for anything else. Not even those 15 weeks on bike...Missions rock and I am SO glad I decided to serve one. Our branch is doing this awesome thing called "Living Christmas Cards." Members of the branch will request us to go visi...

What's up mia famiglia e amici:) Coming at you live from Pavillion WY!! Population of 231. To be honest I feel like I'm living on another planet but it's been so fun🤣 Who knew you could actually experience culture shock in the States! My comp is this sweet girl from Preston Idaho who loves to ride horses, has some sort of Western accent and even brought her cowboy boots with her--so she fits right in here! Meanwhile, I stick out like a sore thumb with my Urban Outfitter boots, blonde highlights and fear of almost every animal... BUT I'm learning to embrace the culture and love every second of being here! Change is hard but also so fun. I will always miss my people in Longmont but super pumped to meet more awesome people here! Some highlights: - We live in a literal barn with cows and horses that come up to our windows and wake us up in the morning  - 2 HOURS OF CHURCH! whaaaat. Since the people are so spread out here and we just have a tiny branch, everyone gets to go ...

Well everyone, this week we got the news that I'm being transferred to the one place I always said I didn't want to go....RIVERTON WYOMING! yeehaw. God definitely has a sense of humor! But in all seriousness, I am super excited to start a new and wonderful adventure in Wyoming! I know it's where the Lord wants me to be. I'm gonna be finishing up training a cute Sister from Idaho! It will be a blast. I just keep telling myself that haha. Another funny thing--because of Covid cases rising we aren't having a transfer bus...so I will be driving the whole 6 hours to Riverton by myself!! Send me all your fav conference talks please It was so bittersweet to say goodbye to the family I've made here in Bella Rosa. I could not have dreamed up a better ward! I will never forget all the amazing members that fed us everynight and were always looking out for us. I also feel SO blessed to have been apart of the Teaupa and Dunagan familes' journey into the gospel. Their tes...

Ciao!! What's up everyone? Hope you all are doing good and staying safe cuz Corona is getting crazyy lately! I'm just happy for every day I get to still go out and see people...praying we don't have to be locked in our apartment anytime soon🙏 These past 2 weeks have flown by. Here's some highs and lows: - The two people we were teaching completely ghosted us so we've been working our tails off to find new people -Been doing a TON of raking leaves...I woke up one morning & thought I had broken my wrist in my sleep lol turns out it was just sore from raking for hours - Taught some AMAZING member lessons! We have been doing this thing where we teach lessons to members in our ward who were converts to the church and they act like their "old selves". This way, we get to practice teaching and they can give us feedback. Plus the spirit in these lessons has been sooo strong and the members love it. -Found a new person! José. Missionaries have taught him befor...
