They Call Me Sister Scooter

-
Hello my wonderful people!! 

First, before I begin, I want to say thank you for the way you live your life. Whether you are family, friends, secret besties, mentors or role models you are all people that I love and respect. You set an amazing example and have a love and light about you.

Today is my first P-Day as a Visitors Center missionary and last P-Day before leave for London!
I cannot tell you how excited I am. 

"Sister Scooter" they call me. I am famous at the MTC. As I ride around on my scooter missionaries will hoot and holler ; ) It has given me some great missionary/service opportunities actually. Today, as I was on my way to the temple someone asked about my foot. I told them the wild story and asked about them. Long story short, we explained a little bit about what missionaries do and told them about the gospel and briefly taught the first lesson. We told them they could meet with other missionaries and they said they would love that! First lesson taught and I can't explain or convey how happy I am to have been a witness of Christ and share His love and gospel.

This week has been especially hard. Ridiculously hard. Through all the hard though there have been many tender mercies that I know will bless my life forever. God’s love you. He will never give up on you. Trust in His plan and go forward by faith. No matter what you are going through, or what you are helping others get through, He's there. Experience will all be for your good and the good of those around you. -D&C 121:7-9 
                         
7 My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment;
8 And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes.
9 Thy friends do stand by thee, and they shall hail thee again with warm hearts and friendly hands.

I would love if you all would think of one thing that stuck out to you, or something that came to you when you read these verses and write it down. Something that I thought of was that I have so many wonderful people (friends) that Heavenly Father has directed to be a part of my life. Another thing that I have come to know is that He answers prayers before we even ask for them. Yesterday I prayed for more confidence in my teaching and today I realized that the hard experiences that I have been having have, and will in the future, help me be more confident in Lord. I love Him. I have been able to strengthen my relationship with him and that means everything. I love you all!!

Week 17: Rainbows & Prayers

May 4th 2020 Week 17: Rainbows & Prayers Hello family This week I hit 4 months on the mission! Wow!  In some ways I feel like it's been a life time and in others ways has flown by. I think I've learned more about the gospel these past 4 months than I have throughout my entire life. It's been crazy and I've loved every second! We had some really incredible lessons this week, hearts being softened and allowing the savior to enter. It is such a privilege to share the message of the atonement and then to watch it work in people's lives. There is nothing more powerful or meaningful and I am so grateful that I get to be out here sharing the love! London rain is back!! and this was not just any rain, we got poured on and drenched and to the bone!! But we enjoyed it.  We had a fanatic lesson with Phumlani, my friend from Africa. He was wondering if God really heard his prayers because sometimes he didn't feel like it. He felt like He had gone too far and couldn'

Week 34: "Come again??" and Spiritual Gifts

August 31st Week 34: "Come again??" and Spiritual Gifts   Well Hello Family!  Transfers!! We will get to the transfer calls later. This week we had our FIRST Sunday service at the chapel! Have you started? It was so nice to meet some of the members face to face and bring some of our friends that we are teaching. It's so crazy to think that 30 people is referred to as a big crowd. Haha, yeah... we don't get out much ; ) Speaking of, online work has been fantastic! We just invited our friend Rodgers from Uganda to be baptised and he said YES!! Then he said "I was wondering when you were going to ask me, what took you so long?" It's amazing how people come alive when they hear the gospel, it makes such a big difference in people's lives. Funny fact. When the connection is really bad in Africa and we can't hear them very well, all we hear from the phone is "Come again". They also say please after everything. Ex "Thank you so so much pl

Week 75: Hello From London

June 14th 2021 Week 75 Hello from London England Since I last wrote I have had two companions, Sister Milone from France, and now I have been transferred to a new area and my companion is Sister Rodriguez from Spain. I am back in Hyde Park and I love it. In the last few weeks we’ve been able to see many of the sights of London: the Natural History Museum, Piccadilly Square, Big Ben, China Town, and The London Eye. Although we enjoyed ourselves, the greatest highlight of the last little bit has been being able to street contact again! As a mission, after being in lock down for 16 months, we can now contact people on the street. We call it “Hiya time” where we just say hello to people, we ask them questions about their day and hold our books of mormon. This disarms most Londoners because they don’t typically say hello to strangers.  One day we had prayed specifically to find one person who needed God that day. We had half an hour and as we made our way up to Hyde park we found a man name
