MOM & FAMILY & FRIENDS!!!
I love you!!!

ok sooo updates from Serving the Lord in TEHAS!  

highlights of this past week--watching my companion get a cupcakes shoved in her face!! hahahah cupcake eating competition!  It got intense lol oh man i love the Dawson family I loved being there!  and this week we went over for carmen (the moms) birthday -pretty much i love this family and they remind me of the texas version of the goates family :) They are sooo great!

I tried to break into another car yesterday....  hahaha  i started opening the door and Sister Sorensen was like WHAT are u doing thats not our car and i was like...


"WHY didnt u stop me!!!  People are going to think we break into cars... !!!!"  


she couldnt stop laughing!  I swear our car looks like every other car in texas!!!  oh gosh lol =) hahahahahha

We have been doing alot of knocking and i am actually starting to really like it!  Yesterday we talked to this cute little freshman in marching bannd and he reminded me of the boys!!!!  And we talk to alot of catholics and baptist and every other church in the world!  Its crazy!  but i love telling them abvout the restored gospel!  It always breaks my heart when they reject our message, but when people do listen and you see them change it is the most amazing feeling...  but even with visiting members it truly is amazing being a missionary.  


We all have problems and concerns and trials in this life.  One day we went to visit this cute couple in our ward we just felt like we should stop by and we talked about their day and it wasn't that big of a deal but then my companion asked if we could share a message witht hem and the message she shared was not that big of deal to me  but the family we were visiting just started crying and they said they needed that...  it really hit me once again that we are here for Gods children, God has sent us on missions not for ourselves, honseslty us visiting people has nothing to do with us, we are simply messengers from God that are here to uplift Gods children and give them messages from Him.  It was truly amazing to witness, and i love being an instrument in the Lords hands.  My companion is sooo great too, shes such a great example to me of how to love everyone without constraint and just share with them Gods love for them.  When we walk into a house we do our best to bring a spirit of peace and love.  

So i have honestly met alot of people here that are racist but they are not always mean they are just ignorant to culture and different customs and i hear someone talking about asians and they said, "oh yeah the oriental people" and i was like... EXCUSE ME!!....  and it just breaks my heart!!!!  Sister Sorensen said she has heard some of the most racist comments here and we are both just like WHAT DID U JUST SAY... and i have to hold her back from beating people up because she is just like me and loves everyone!  


OMG!  So pretty much God knows that i love these people and he loves them sooo much and i feel like he has sent me here to share his love with them.  We met with a family that my companion said it was amazing she even talked to us because she usually kicked the missionaries out. But we did bring the spirit and it was amazing because her boy was crying and wouldnt stop and then i prayed and through the entire prayer he did not make one sound and then after i prayed he started screaming again and she was like, "oh my gosh did u hear that oh my gosh he didnt make one sound when u prayed!!!" IT was the spirit! and she was sooo excited and i was so glad she recognized the spirit!  


I love u family sooo much and i love being a missionary and helping everyone, the more people i meet the more i realize how important it is we have the gospel to help us in our life and the more i realize we need a SAVIOR!  Could u imagine this world without a SAVIOR!  I definitely couldn't and im soo greatful for him everyday and i can turn to him and God every second, we are not alone... the answers are out there, if ur ever lost of upset, find ur ansewrs.... u dont have to suffer in darkness and loneliness...  God will tell us if we ask, he will help us find our answers if we search and have faith!  I love u all sooo much! 


 OK u have to watch "together forever" an old church movie it is awesoem LAUREN please watch it with RONE u will die laughing and if he loved the Mormon Batalion Center I'm sure he'll love it :D  oh man!  also i need chelsea freemans address in thailand!  also i need my friend AIRI Nishis's address -can u ask her on facebook for me!!!!  Also laura in Germany & Bernie too!!!

President Uchtdorf Reminds Sisters of Five Things to “Forget Not”  

Yesterday we were knocking and we talked to this lady but she said she was not interested bc she already knew Christ and so we asked her if she knew anyone else in the area that could use a message of Jesus Christ and she said, "honey we could all use a message of Jesus Christ!" -best-truest answer ive ever heard!  
Dont be afraid to share the gospel with everyone u know- it will only bless them!  & be bold because this is their eternal happiness and salvation that u are talking about here!!!!!  I LOVE U ALL!!!  


 The secret to happiness in this life is coming closer to Christ-understanding who he is and what he can do for u and then taking a leap of faith-turning your life toward him and following his example!!!  Pray for opportunities to share the gospel!  Never forget u are loved just the way u are in this moment and u are never alone!! HE LOVES US SOOOO MUCH!!!!  please be safe and pray often that u will may never feel alone but always have peace and love in ur heart :)
