Hello Everyone!  I hope you all had a swell week! Mine was way good too!  On Wednesday Sister Coder went to Loveland Colorado and I got my new companion Sister Greenall  She is awesome and I love her so much! She is a stellar missionary, and I already know she is going to teach me so much! The snow hasn't been very bad here, but it's been pretty icy so Sister Greenall and I have slipped and biffed it so many times, it's so funny! Nothing else really interesting happened this week except that our car died again, haha. There is a girl who hangs out with the YSA members a lot named Kia.  She came to church this last week and was at a dinner that we had, so we taught her about the book of Mormon and gave her one and invited her to read it and she said she would! She is so cool! I am so excited for her to come closer to Christ! Cori was baptized on Saturday and it was an amazing experience! She is such an amazing inspiration to me! I am so happy for Cori! It ...

Hello! This week has been good! I'm spending another 6 weeks in Casper Wyoming in the YSA ward, so I'm pretty excited for that! Sister Coder is leaving and going to Loveland and my new companion will be Sister Greenall. I have only heard really good things about her, so I'm pretty excited! Not a ton has happened this week. Today for Pday we played spike ball and as always it was way fun. Sister Packard is leaving Casper, which I'm pretty sad about.  She gets to go to where Sister Smith is which isn't fair, but its fine, haha! This Saturday  our investigator Cori is getting baptized!  I am so excited for her! She is so excited and ready.  She has completely changed her life around and she is such an example to me. I'm so grateful for Cori! Being able to see her change and build a testimony these past three weeks has been such an amazing experience for me.  She has shown me the real purpose of missionary work, to be able to see the change in her life and how mu...

Jan 3, 2018 Hello! Happy New Year! Hope y'all had a great one! This week has been good! It went by super fast! Funny story, my companion is probably one of the blondest people I have ever met haha, so she was driving us to a lesson and we get there and she just stops and parks in the middle of the road. I told her that she was in the middle of the road and she was like nah I'm not. So we go teach the lesson, then get back in the car and she said, I think I may have parked in the middle of the road. Hahaha, I guess you would have had to be there in person but it was so funny! She's the best! We went on exchanges this week that was fun!  I got to go with Sister Packard, who has the same mission mom as me. That just means we were trained by the same person. But Sister Packard is an amazing missionary and I love her lots! Today we played spike ball with Lindsey and Sabrina, they are members of the YSA ward.   Also Hermana Clark and Sister Packard played with us it was so f...

Week 13 Hello Everyone! First of all Merry Christmas!  I hope you all had a great one!  Mine was amazing! We went to an old folks home and sang Christmas songs to them  and it was way fun.  They loved it and were so grateful.  Also I got to talk to my family!  It was so good to see and talk to them!  I miss them a lot.  Our mission president gave us permission to watch The Best Two Years, which is a movie about missionaries.  We got to do that at the Katz’s house, who are these really rich people that have a theater room! It was so cool! We also got to have zone conference  on Friday  which was super fun! We did a white elephant gift exchange and I ended up with a football sippy cup! Today we had district pday and it was so fun! We played basketball and soccer and zombies, which is a tag game with nerf guns! It was awesome! It snowed so much here this week! It was crazy! On one of the days it was so bad that we weren'...

Week 12 Hello! It's been a great week! Time has gone by so fast! It's already almost Christmas! Sister Francom went home this week, which was super sad! I learned so much for her!  Now I am companions with Sister Coder who is also from Oregon, and she knows my cousins!  She is super sweet!  Everyone calls her Snow White because she literally acts like a princess!  We are covering the YSA and 3rd ward so that's been pretty crazy!  Sundays are the craziest because 3rd ward has church at  9:00  and the YSA has church at  11:00  so we have to run back and forth! In the 3rd ward we found a new investigator named Cory!  She is so amazing!  She is so prepared and ready to receive the gospel.  She is on date to be baptized on January 6 th  and I am so excited!   It will be my first baptism! She has four kids ages 13,8,6 and 3.  The 13 year old, Alanna, wants to get baptized also, so that's amazing! The...

Week 11 Hello! It's been a great week! It went by so fast! Crazy story… we do service at a food bank called Joshua’s and this week when we were there the BBC came and did a story on poverty in America and filmed us helping people! So we are going to be on the news in England! Hit me up when I'm famous! Haha just kidding!  Another crazy story, on Friday the Elders who live three houses down from us were waiting outside our apartment for us. Then told us they needed some advice, then proceeded to tell us they got in a fight and one of them, Elder Brunner, had a gash on the side of his head! They were wondering if they should go to the hospital… ya, we told them they should! It was crazy!   We went on exchanges this week which was so fun! I went with Sister Clark and the people we ate dinner with had a stuffed bear that the dad had shot, haha! We also saw some beautiful lights! Also she let me drive! I miss driving so much!  Also sad day, Sister Francom leaves ...

11-28-17 Hello Everyone!  It's been a great week! Time is going by so quickly.  I have already been here for 6 weeks, which means its transfer time! Sister Francom and I are staying here in the Casper YSA until she leaves  in three weeks .   Then I will be companions with Sister Coder who is from Oregon also, so that's way cool!  Together we will cover the 3rd ward and the YSA.  It will be a good time!  Last Tuesday right after pday (preparation day) ended I tripped down the stairs and sprained my ankle.  Sister Francom was freaking out like I needed to go to the hospital, it was kinda funny.  I had to tell her that I have done that a million times before and it would be fine.  Then she wouldn't move the car until we called the elders to give me a blessing (even though I was fine!).   Anyway, once we got to the Elders, the one who was giving me a blessing thought you just pour all the oil on the person's head (he's...
