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 fun! Spike ball is the funnest game ever!!

We saw a lot of miracles this week! James, our recent convert who has told us that he doesn't want to come to church for a couple months, has come two weeks in a row now! And he came to FHE (Family Home Evening), I know it sounds simple but he was so adamant that he didn't want to talk to us or come to church. And he has come back! I am so happy for him!
Another one was that we got to meet with another inactive member, Lucas.  As we taught him the spirit was so strong! He told us that he has wanted to come back to church for a long time but he just hasn’t felt the desire to, but he will now! It was amazing!  I think the coolest part of being a missionary is to see how the gospel changes people. To see their hearts soften and for them to accept Jesus Christ more fully on their lives. The way that this happens it through the Book of Mormon. It is the most true book that we could ever read. It is our most powerful tool as a missionary and anyone who ever touches it.  I can promise that if you read it and pray about it with a real desire to know if its true then it will be made known unto you by the Holy Spirit of God! 

Love you all!

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 on Thursday

10-31-17 Hey Everyone! This week has been so long but it felt so short! We have had some crazy adventures! Our landlord Debbie is absolutely crazy, so that's fun! She called and freaked out on us because someone used the bathroom in the middle of the night and it woke our upstairs neighbor, haha. In our apartment there is an outside door, and then we go downstairs to get to our actual apartment. The lady upstairs locked the outside door so we couldn't get into our apartment so we had to climb through the window, and the neighbor called and told Debbie. So Debbie freaked out again!   I'm so glad the STL’s live there and Sister Zimmerman is such a kind soul because I would not have been able to stay calm the whole time. We did see a lot of miracles this week which was awesome! The Elders before us were teaching an investigator named James who is very anti sister missionaries, and this week he let us into his home and we had a wonderful lesson! We have an investigator nam

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't allowed the drive our cars. That was a fun day, haha!
