A Crazy Week!

wellllll here we are again! Time on the mission is crazy. I've only been in the field for three weeks, but I feel like I've been here so much longer than that. BUT. the weeks have gone by so so fast its crazy. 

 

 

this week was a crazy one! on tuesday I had my first exchange. The STL's came  up to cheboygan and then we switched companions for a day. So I got to know sister olsen and we did our lessons, comp study, and everything else together. it was pretty fun! It's nice to get to know more people in the mission.

 

 

wednesday! We drove to district council in the morning, and then straight to lansing (about a 3-4 hour drive). we stayed the night with the STL's in lansing and then sister frogley hopped on her flight to brazil early thursday morning! Sister Hansen and I will miss her tons but we are so excited for her to get back to brazil. 

thursday we drove back to cheboygan. 

 

 

so... lots of driving this week! it's been fun to get to know sister hansen better. she is the best and i'm so blessed to have her as a companion! 

 

 

this week my testimony of modern day prophets has grown. The bible can be hard to understand, but with prophets AND the book of Mormon, the bible is so much easier to understand! I'm grateful to know that Heavenly Father hasn't stopped speaking to us. He wants us to keep turning to Him and coming closer to Him!

 

 

i'm so grateful to know that families can be together forever. my grandma passed away this morning. i will miss her so so much, but I can't wait to see her again! I'm grateful to know that because of my Savior, I will be able to see her and talk to her and give her a hug again.  

 

 

We shared this scripture with a lot of our friends this week. mosiah 24:13-15. Thought I'd put it here, too. I am so grateful for my Savior and to know that he can comfort us and lift us during our trials. it doesn't mean he will always take the trials away, but He will never leave our side as we go through them. 

"13 And it acame to pass that the voice of the Lord came to them in their afflictions, saying: Lift up your heads and be of good comfort, for I know of the covenant which ye have made unto me; and I will covenant with my people and deliver them out of bondage.

14 And I will also ease the aburdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs, even while you are in bondage; and this will I do that ye may stand as bwitnesses for me hereafter, and that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their cafflictions.

15 And now it came to pass that the burdens which were laid upon Alma and his brethren were made light; yea, the Lord did astrengthen them that they could bear up their bburdens with ease, and they did submit cheerfully and with cpatience to all the will of the Lord."
