Crazy pop up baptism miracle

THIS WEEK WAS SOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!! 

So this week was gnarly! From zone conference,baptisms, to super cool spiritual experiences my week couldn't have gotten any better! We had a really good time at zone conference and we really talked about how to get people to come to church with you and good effective first contacts and we had a great training on calling down the powers of heaven to help you after all you can do. And boy did that have a big role to play in this weeks amazingness!!!! 

We had a dang good week but nothing seemed like it was coming or going our way. But Friday came and me and my companion both had just poured our hearts out to God and then we prayed as a companionship for a while then later that day we went on an exchange with a different companionship and they went over to someone we were teachings house and they invited her to be baptized the next day.... and she said no........  but later that day i get a message from her and she asked if she could be BAPTIZED!!!!! It was so sick! So we had to get all that going. IT WAS A WILD 20 HOURS! But we had an interview and got her to meet with the bishop and we got it all situated and the next day at 3PM before she got rushed to the ER. 

Then we had a fun pizza party with some peeps we were teaching and watched Joseph Smith the Prophet of the Restoration and it went soooooo good! Aubrey one of MY BEST FRIENDS came to church with us and she loved it! It was so awesome and she will be getting baptized on the 13th of April and that is gonna be an amazing day!!!!!!

well i love yallll soooo much




last week

This week was amazing. Holy cow we had a lot of miracles happen. But I'm going to share a couple of them with you. So we went over to this girl were teachings house and we have a great lesson with her and wow the spirit was so strong and we invited her to baptism again..... and she said she didn't want it to happen this month and we were kinda bummed but we knew if that's what she felt best with then we'd be okay with..... so we planned for April 13th. And then later that night we get a call that it might be the 30th so that was amazing we will definitely be praying for her and that decision! 

 we also has exchanges and we drove down to lindsberg a small sweetish town here near Salina and we talked with 2 more people were teaching and it was amazing we had such a good time there and it was amazing we made really good progress. Actually one of them has now read about 20 chapters of the Book of Mormon and has it annotated more than mine haha! But they were supposed to come to church but satan worked his magic and made that not happen .... but we got them there after for a church tour. And that was so amazing literally felt like everything was led by the spirit. Every word, story, everything it was amazing. We sat down in front of the baptismal font and for some reason I opened my mouth and shared a couple miracles from my mission. And it was cool and all And all of a sudden one of them (the one that marked the Book of Mormon up started to ball her eyes out and I felt bad like I said something wrong and we wrapped up and later she accepted a baptismal date for April. And it was amazing! She is so cool! But it was incredible to see God work so many cool miracles in our life for us! We also got to have 5 friends come to church with us this week!
 I love y'all so much!

Transfer 15? ..... WiLd

Holy cow y'all. This is going way to fast. It's transfer week!  Holy cow I could've sworn we just starter last transfer.... wow... well this week was awesome! It was stake conference here in Salina! That's where we get to hear from some other leaders of the church! It was amazing! We got to meet Elder Craig from the General Authority 70's (for you that don't understand he's really cool!)
It was amazing! We got called up on the stand for it and had to give the stake our phone number to receive referrals and we did and we got 76 referrals for across the stake! It was so cool! Members are a HUGE part of this work! But we found some super solid and sweet people from using Instagram! It has been an amazing tool for us! 

We got another 7 inches of snow this weekend on top of the 7 from last weekend! It's been crazy cold! Well Kristi is doing awesome she has been taught almost everything and is living the commandments and STOKED FOR her baptism on the 23rd! We also had MLC this last week and had a blitz that's where a bunch of missionaries get together in 1 area and expect miracles! It was amazing after 1 hour of work we found 30 new people for them to teach and 22 committed to church and 9 to prepare for baptism in March! It was amazing! We also got to tour this Presbyterian church with their reverend! It was so cool some beautiful art work. But honestly I felt like I was in an art exhibit. But it was way cool to learn about.  But I love you all so much! Stay ballas!
Oh and I'm staying in Salina!!! Ü

Crazy Busy....



This week was crazy! We had interviews with President and that was awesomeness! We had a great chat about how much I've changed since day 1! But we also got to get trained by the APs and they talked to us and challenged us all to hit mission Standard this week! (Never happened in KWM history to have a whole zone hit it at 1 time!) So we all went and gave all we had and then some! It was amazing we had some crazy miracles happen! Through Instagram we found 3 new people to teach and got people to church because of it and even got someone to prepare to be baptized because of it! It was so cool! 

In Salina we even helped the people in Concordia hit standard it was amazing to watch the Lord make this happen! Well I know this one was quick but there wasn't anything that crazy that happened. But God provides and will do so as we put our faith in Him! I love y'all!

Lots to talk about Lotta that

So this was a dang good week! We had 4 friends come to church with us! We had a lot of stressful things happen haha we hadn't found all the people we were thinking we should and Sunday came around and we only had like 2 hours to find and literally we just needed 1 to hit our goal and we knocked 1 door and found someone it was so sweet!  

I got to go on exchanges with Elder Peterson (who I trained) and that was good! But I was on another exchange and the dude I was with was struggling with faith and he just kept saying we couldn't find anyone and I was like watch this! I closed my eyes and prayed and then said follow me...... and walked 2 blocks knocked a door and we found a family of 7 it was so sick! It was so fun!!!!! The spirit is legit yall! 
Then we met this sweet lady named Tiffany and she paid for our meal at Sams Club lol and then she said we can come talk to the family next week. So we messaged her and she said not this weekend cuz she had a party for her parents... BUT when we were knocking doors we knocked into her families party lol it was so sweet! God provides!!! 

Well love yall! (Mom hope your happy lol) 😂😂😂☺☺☺😙

I might have been sick but we still baptized!

This week was SICK ! and I mean that literally and not that silly way of saying cool that the people now a days say..... Psh 

From Wednesday to Saturday I was out of commission in the apartment. It sucked... But it was cool so Tuesday we had Zone Conference it was sweet! We gave a couple if training's about following the spirit and applying what you learn! It was cool! 

But while I was in the apartment I still tried to use social media to our advantage and tried to find peeps to teach and we found this super cool girl who lives 70 miles away from the church building but still lives in ward boundaries. We got to teach her all about the apostasy and the restoration over Instagram hahahaha. Weird. 

But Saturday and Sunday were awesome. I still wasn't feeling good but I just said forget it I gotta go work. So I went out with Elder Cox cuz we had more teaching appointments than we could handle. We were walking around and we realize the night before they met this chick and she was super not solid but she said we could come back. So we did and OMGOSH! IT WAS GNARLY!!!! We went in and we talked with her and it was LEGENDARY! We get in there and they said she was high the night before so they didn't get to teach anything. I just felt really strong to teach the Word of Wisdom and the Law of Chastity (lol she didn't know about the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith, or honestly anything fr fr about Jesus Christ) but I had an internal battle about if that's what we needed to teach. And finally the thought came in and it said well if you don't teach it now it'll probably be harder when you do actually teach it..... so we did haha and then she tells us all the reasons of why she couldn't live it and told us to go look at all then he alcohol on her fridge and so I walk over then he here and start dumping out all of it and she lost it haha she was happy you could tell but she was so shocked I did it. Then I stole her Cigars and she said she'd stop. It was awesome she's been sober since! 

The baptism was amazing! Gosh I love Hannah she's awesome! The spirit was so strong and her husband and 2 kids were there who aren't members and they really enjoyed it!

Church was great we had 7 of our friends come to church with us! The confirmation went well! And James Vasquez got the priesthood! Yay!!!! Then we had a linger longer after church and that was awesomeness! But about 45 min into it one of the people were teaching went to the bathroom and had a seizure  (she gets them when she's stressed and anxious) so that was scary but she's okay. Then we just went to the ER with her and a member to make sure she had someone there.  When she got out she messaged us saying how grateful she was for us and the church for being there with her and how excited she is to start her walk with Christ! It was a good ending to a scary story! 

Well I love y'all!
y'all are the bomb digity!
