What up all!!! How are ya? Crazy that another week has passed already!! And it's been a busy one, so I hope that y'all wanna know, cuz here we go!! Tuesday: Service and Kentucky! Tuesday, we did our regular, fun service, and then preped for and set off for Kentucky!! We had our exchanges this week, and our STLs live in Kentucky. It was fun! Wednesday: Everywhere! Wednesday we woke up in Kentucky, (on exchanges we stay the night with the STLs) and finished exchanges and that was good. They took us to a really yummy Thai food place for lunch 🤤 then after exchanges we had to go to Cincinnati to get our new car!!! We now have a 2023 Chevy Equinox!! It's pretty cool, although I do miss the rouge...  But I did get some pretty cool pics of the city!! I've already added them to my Google photos album,  and I'll put a few here as well. And I finally got my driving card!!!!! I had Elder Stewart give it to me while I was already there. He had to make it, but I got it!! After ...

"We are Jesus in a parking lot!"

 Ayo!!! What's up peeps?! Hope that y'all are doing well! This week was actually really busy, so let's just jump right in! This week's title came from an experience Sister Hansen and I had. We were listening to the gospel music station, (that and church music is the only stuff we can listen too. What we by choice can listen to, I don't have to plug my ears in the store😂) and this song called: "Parking lot" by Corhen & co. came on. (It's actually really good) This song talks about this guy feeling really, really, down and depressed, and while he's sitting in his car in a parking lot, he starts to feel comforted,  like Jesus is sitting next to him, and the chorus says: "I met Jesus, in a parking lot!" When Sister Hansen heard that she said, " I wanna meet Jesus in a parking lot!" I told her: "We are Jesus in a parking lot!" I said this bc when we go finding out here in my mission, we do this thing called the flow, w...

  Hey all!! Sorry that I didn't have a bunch of time last p-day, I had to figure out a new time to talk to my family, since our missionary standards changed. Then we got busy cleaning, and lots of other stuff. But I hope that you had a fantastic week, and that's y'all aren't dead from the heat yet! Lol! Well I'm sure you're all dying to know what happened this week so let's jump in! Monday: teaching!! Monday we made a new friend! His name is Caden, he is a teen and is sooo Awesome! As a teenager I thought that he would be a bit more closed off, but he was participating in our discussion and really listening to what we were teaching! His mom is a member but his dad is not, but they want to come to church with him to help him have a good life!  Tuesday: Zone conference!! Zone conference was a blast!! I got to see Sister Dahle and Sister Thayne, (My Mtc district friends) and they are doing sooooooo good!! And everything that was talked about in Zone conference ...

Short and sweet!!

  Hey all!! Sorry this is late, also meaning that this is going to have to be short and sweet!!  Sooooo Highlights:: I can drive!! I finished getting all my stuff turned in, so now hopefully soon I get my card!! I also figured out my missionary care app!! So now if anything happens, I'll be good. I saved Sister Hansen's life!! She almost got hit by a car, but I pulled her back in time. We found a new friend!! Her name is Shelby,  and we're meeting with her on Saturday!!!  Steve and Eliane came to church!!! These are the our catholic friends!! So now we'll get to go with them in a few weeks!!  Derek is still doing g great!! Spiritual thought: President had us read the April 2023 conference talk 'Peacemakers needed' by president Nelson. It just reminded me to be nicer and more loving to others, and I hope that you all find a way this week to do the same!! Sad: I can't text friends on messenger anymore, only email. New standards, bc they changed.:( Again sorry ...

Am I catholic for real now?!

  Heyo everyone!! Hope the week was amazing!! I know mine was, so let's jump right in!! Tuesday: Tuesday we had our regular service. Which was fun as always. We got to make Charcuterie boards for a fundraiser that the food pantry was doing, and they let us take home a good bunch of food, which is always nice. Then that night we were at Kroger finding. Now you have to understand,  when we say no one is at Kroger, we mean no one! There can be cars in the parking lot, but not a single person. So when Sister Hansen and I felt like we needed to go there, at 8pm, we were like: "really, Kroger?" But we went and followed our prompting, and I'm sooooo glad that we did!! Bc that's where we met Janelle.  She had walked out of the store and to her car, and I walked up and started doing the flow. (For those who don't know, the flow is a way of finding where we just ask everyone if they want to come to church with us, and go from there.) And we got through the whole thing! ...

God's miracles are so AMAZING!!

  Heyo everyone!!!! Hope that the week was as amazing as all of you are!!! My week has been pretty great, so let's jump in! First transfers happened this week, and don't worry Sister Hansen and I are both still here in Lawrenceburg,  so yay!! We kinda figured we would be, but it's still a great blessing. But unfortunately because the Batesville sisters got ETed, (emergency transfered) we no longer have the Lawrenceburg district, and now we and the Batesville elders are in the Florence District. Which has the DL, ZLs, and STLs.  Also I can't BELIEVE that my 1 transfer is over!! It's crazy how fast, (or slow) time can go!! Tuesday:  Tuesday we had our regular service. And that was good. They sent us home with food afterward, so we got some snacks as we didn't need much else. But Tuesday night was definitely my favorite of this week, and here's why:We had a HUGE miracle this week! So we went to an apartment complex to go knocking, and there was a sign saying th...

I love hearing all about home and where ever you are, and what's going on in your lives! So feel free to email, I won't be able to respond until Monday,  but I loving getting and reading them!! Anyway I'm sure that your all dying to know how I've been, so let's jump in!! Tuesday: Service and interviews Tuesday we had our regular service and that eveing we had interviews. Service was good, I asked the people we were working with why is it called a shipment in a car, and cargo on a ship. The guy who answered tried his best to explain,  but I just kept making it harder, but it was funny!  Interviews went well, for me anyway. President McGuire was just asking how I was adjusting and all that stuff, so it went well.  Wednesday: Service Wednesday we really didn't do anything to exciting, we did our service in the morning, and then we did find...
