heyo:) I think it's so cool that Heavenly Father micromanages His work. On thursday we had lunch scheduled with a sister in our group and her husband. when we got there, she walked out with a bunch of her friends and she said that she forgot about us and asked if we could move it to next week. No biggie, but we drove all the way to onaway (about 45 min away). so we went to dairy queen and got some ice cream. before we went in we prayed in the car that we'd be able to find someone to talk to or teach. we had to take some pics (bc we had a training that morning and the sisters told everyone to get some ice cream that day). so we took two pictures and then right after that a guy named Bill walked out. (mind you- we wouldn't have met him if we didn't take the pictures). so we sat down with him at the tables and talked about our beliefs and his beliefs. we gave him a Book of Mormon and he lit up! Said he had a friend that had one. he was like "i'm going to go talk t...

hey all!!  I just have to say that I love the Gospel. The past couple of weeks I've really enjoyed the simplicity and joy that comes from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ is the Savior and Redeemer of the world.  I know that God knows us individually. We had a really cool experience this week. Elder and Sister Bennett (the couple that did the mission tour in May) came and visited us. Sis Traughber and I were asked to share our experiences with the Atonement of Jesus Christ. We didn't get a chance to share but it was so good for me to think about when Christ has been there for me the past few months on my mission. I know He is there and I love Him for it.  Elder Bennett told me "Heavenly Father loves you". It made me happy. I'm grateful the Lord gives us tender mercies and let's us know He's there!  You are all loved and I know you have a Savior who knows you and is perfectly aware of you. Love you all!! 

Hi!! Sorry I missed last week! things have been soo crazy!  We got transfer calls last saturday!  I'm staying in Cheboygan and training again!! I was so happy to hear that i get 9 months in this amazing place.  tuesday we drove to Mt. Pleasant and I dropped off sis mcneill. Then i stayed with the sisters there! It was such a blast. We went frog catching and got ready for our new trainees!!  And let me tell you... i think i have the best one! Sis Traughber is amazing. we've had so much fun and are laughing all the time. She's going to be such a blessing for Chegirlgan.  After driving back from lansing, we went straight to work! Jacob is doing so so well. i'm so proud of him! I was reminiscing on where he was when we found him and how he is now... so much has changed. It's amazing to see the change that can happen in people because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I know it's real and works when we turn to Him!  I love feeling the fire of missionary work. we...

Hola! Soooo.... Andrew was baptized!! Woot woot I'm so happy for him. I've never seen someone with so much faith. He has the strongest desire to follow God. I know he'll be the biggest strength to the Cheboygan Twig. Something I've learned from him is that following Jesus Christ means to give your all. He gives everything to the Lord and more. I want to do the same.  Our friend Jacob is preparing to be baptized! We've had a lot of really good discussions with him this past week. He could use prayers. I know he can do it with the Savior's help. The day he accepted an invitation to be baptized was amazing! I've never seen him so happy. It's really cool to see how the spirit works in people. he texted us that night and said "I know the Book of Mormon is true". We squealed for joy haha. I really want what's best for Jacob. I know this Gospel will make him happyyyy:))) Ohhh. we got offered to do communion with one of our friends and her husband ...
