Tennesse to Macedonia to Serve

  Yo yo yo Soooo my apologies for not sending an email last week... so the email was written and I clicked send and then for some reason it sat in my outbox all week. If you're too lazy to read 2 this week, here's the update! I got my visa and leave in 3 weeks !!  Not too much crazy stuff happened but here's some sick updates: -accidentally contacted into a whole ministry at the park..... -we've started teaching a couple Indian families! They are so cool and it's been super interesting to learn more about their culture -had an amazing lesson with our friend Savannah !! Keep her in yalls prayers, she is currently praying about baptism -met 2 men named Keith and got bashed on opposite ends of the spectrum... one was an atheist and one was a pastor -we went to the temple today !! Sorry, this is less than exciting but have the best week!! Take time EVERY DAY to read the Book of Mormon. That book is powerful and can grow your faith in more ways than you can even imagine....

  ZDRAVO VIE !! Missions are a wild thing. Literally nothing goes as expected. Lessons fall through, unplanned lessons happen, we run late to everything, covid happens, etc, etc, etc. But yall, today, the most unexpected, overly expected miracle happened... I GOT MY VISA! For real, not just kinda, not just maybe, not just you will know next week. When it has been this long and permanent reassignment looms over you, this kinda thing is definitely nothing short of a miracle. God is so good and I am beyond blessed that he let serve in 2 missions:) I'll be yeeting out June 20th so lots of prayers that nothing dramatic changes because that seems to be Macedonia's favorite thing to do. I have hardly any time left but a huge miracle this week: ☆ We saw our friend Shawn outside last Monday while we were working out and talked to her! We had tried to set up some teaching appointments with her but she had gotten too busy. We ended up talking to her for 45 minutes right then and there bec...

  Howdy yall !!  Sorry in advance this is long, but don't worry there are lots of pictures  I've been thinking a lot about the children of Israel and laman and lemuel. Both stories include people who were covenant children of God. Both were asked to leave their previous lives behind, whether in Egypt or Jerusalem. Both were promised that the Lord was asking them to leave so that they could enter a promised land. And both complain, and murmur, and forget God even though time after time after time, God shows forth his power to them.  The Israelites complain saying: "were it not better for us to return into Egypt?" (Numbers 14:3) Laman and Lemuel murmer saying: "these many years we have suffered in the wilderness, which time we might have enjoyed our possessions and the land of our inheritance; yea, and we might have been happy." (1 Nephi 17:21) In both circumstances, God also miraculously fed them, one with manna and the other with raw meat. The israelites com...

  Zdravoooo kako ste ?!  Welcome back to the less than exciting account of me trying to remember what happened between now and a week ago:)) This week has been a doozie can't lie. Missionary work is hard. Being in an area that people don't want to listen is hard. Waiting to potentially but also maybe not go to another country is hard (especially when you've been told you almost have your visa like 5 times and then don't actually have it) . Learning a language is hard. Not using the said language when I've worked so hard to learn it is hard. Being away from family is hard. Life is hard. BUT this week we decided we didn't care how hard it got, we were going to CHOOSE to have faith that God can make weak things strong. I love the story of the brother of Jared when he decides he's going to take rocks to God so that they can have light while they traveled. Literally how pointless does that sound, rocks?! But yet the Lord loved his effort so much so that he not on...

  Yo what is up yall ?! I have to talk like the kids do nowadays because I'm back to having Instagram😎 if you saw me pop a lil something on my story, no I'm not home, just a social media leader which means I get some nifty privileges (jk just Instagram and about 10 more meetings a week 🙃) This week has definitely been absolutely insane. We saw some amazing miracles, lots of canceled lessons, and of course always plenty of bashing:) gotta love life in the Bible belt.  BUT life is good !! Here are some highlights ☆Our friend Roberto is reading the Book of Mormon every day and even though he has questions and concerns, he is dedicated to learning for himself if it is true (our fellow shippers are AWESOME with him. They all speak Spanish so ngl that was the most insane lesson of my life trying to follow everything while they were trying to answer his questions in rapid-fire Spanish) ☆I used my Spanish skills😎 and referred 4 people to the hermanas who they've all said we'...
