     HELLO FRIENDS AND FAMILY!  How the heck is everyone? I hope yall are doing amazing! If you're not, message me and I'll give you a laugh;). This week tops off every other week! I think it really was the best week I've had on my mission! Don't get me wrong there are many of ups and downs...somedays are complete rollercoasters! My mission has been one of the hardest things I've ever done but I have never felt this much true and constant joy in my life. I know it's because the gospel is true and I get to share this knowledge with all of Gods children! I have been on CLOUD 9 almost 24/7 and its been absolutely incredible. This week I felt God's love in a different way. I have never felt such an outpouring of love in my life.      This week was wild so I will start off with a wild story...maybe it will keep you interested enough to read my long email.  It all started with a cute older couple bringing us dinner. It was really yummy until we got to t...

     Hey, hey friends!! How is everyone doing? Hopefully y'all are doing fantastic! OH MY WORD!...this week has been an emotional rollercoaster but in the best way possible! I can already tell this email is gonna be lengthy so either buckle up and put those reading glasses on or just check out some pictures at the bottom;)! We got transfer news and I am staying in Coos...are you shocked? Wanna be even more shocked...my new comp is President Dallin. H Oaks granddaughter...NOT JOKING. Kinda exciting! Anyways I have felt it deep in my bones the last few days that I was staying here and I couldn't be happier! I truly love it here. It's safe to say I'm attached to the town, the coast, but most of all the people here in Coos. Eventually when I leave the goodbyes will be tough. But until then I'm gonna keep calling Coos home!      On Tuesday we were FINALLY able to visit Phyllis again after two whole weeks! Her chemo and radiation has been really hard on her and h...

Happy Valentines Day to all of my favorite people!!      This week was a great week...who am I kidding I think I say that every week! It really does just get better and better the longer I am out here serving the Lord! It's crazy...this is one of the hardest things I've ever done! Yet the most tiring and absolutely rewarding things I have ever experienced! My happiness is greater than I ever thought possible!      We had Zone Conference in Eugene! Elder Cordon from the seventy came and spoke to us. It was absolutely amazing! He inspired all of us missionaries and really helped give us the spark we needed! The best part of my ENTIRE WEEK was seeing Sister Bell there! Sister Bell and I are no joke sisters...we were definitely besties in the premortal life:)!!!      I was talking to a lady at church this Sunday who really strengthened my testimony! She is an amazing women and so strong in the gospel. We got talking about missions and the opportu...

HELLO CUTE FRIENDS AND FAMILY!          I swear I blinked and it's P day again! The Lord really speeds time up when you're busy doing His work. This week was busy, busy BUSY but so full of exciting changes and new opportunities!           We started teaching a part member couple this week names the Meads. The wife Judy was baptized at age 8 as a member but fell away shortly after. Paul, her husband, grew up Lutheran. After living in Coos Bay for a couple years they decided they needed God in their lives again. They started coming to church with Judy's sister in law in our ward! We have been wanting to teach them for a couple weeks now and have been building a good relationship with them at church. They didn't seem too interested in meeting with us. We kept praying for an opportunity to teach them! Randomly we got a text from Judy's sister in law saying they wanted to meet with the missionaries! We were beyond hap...
