I truly wish I was more consistent with getting these emails out — my apologies BUT I'm so glad you're here! Welcome back. This week was actually so crazy!!

He says, "If Christ were physically here, He would visit the sick, teach the Sunday School class, sit with the heartbroken young woman, and bless the children. He can do His own work. But He lives this principle of letting us act and learn, so He sends us in His place." I am not a perfect missionary, and I never will be. Bu...

When we were waiting for the Elders to go to pickleball we went to Marshall's and me and Goates got matching dresses. Tuesday was trippyyyy we usually have DCM on Tuesdays but we had to switch it so the Elders could go get their windshield fixed so it felt a little strange. hahah I just remembered what I was going to tell Cj this week. Y'all me and Sister Goates are sitting in Barbar...
