Howzit! 

Not the craziest week but heres some highlights ️

Tuesday every week we have District council and we have too much fun in there me and sister beauchat are always just bouncing of the walls in those meetings so that happened lol 

Wednesday (shout out anna perkes happy bday) anywhooo it was soooo rainy and we were soooo excited and then we made our first 3 visits and were soaking wet and dripping every time we knocked on a door and our hair looked insane and we were like yikes its going to be a long oregon fall and winter and spring… 

But it was still fun. Everyone just kind of gives us weird looks when we are walking down the street in a torrential downpour 🙂

Thursday it was also rainy and super cold again but we talked to a lot of people (most of them weren’t interested but just talking to people is a win right now!!) 

We also went to a churro food truck and got filled churros and they were sooooo yumm!!! 

Friday miracle -> our baptismal date friend David has been ghosting us but we finally got back in contact with him hallelujah! Anddd ya

Saturday was a good day 🙂 had some little miracles! Got in contact with people who seemed to have fallen off the face of the earth! And a fire member meal!! I started an uproar in the zone chat 🙂 lol OH AND the clouds on Saturday oh my glory like i cannot even describe how amazing they were like it was insane. 

Sunday was pretty good! Just veryyyy long but we had some friends at church! We sat behind Ryan and Bina and Kingson and Kiyogi and the whole time kingston who turn around and wave at us! He’s actually the cutest little kid ever!!!! And we had the best lesson with them that afternoon! We told them transfers were this week and they both were like WHATTT and they were not happy lol! Like you all need to meet them! I love them sm

So if you know me you know one of the biggest sacrifices for me going on a mission was football and this week was the BYU home opener at LES and i wanted to be there so badly 🙁 so i took some time and i thought about why i am here. Why did i choose to leave my family, friends, and football? 

This is why – i know its true. I know this is Christ’s true church on the earth. I know the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ. There is no doubt in my mind that God runs this church and He needs me here. 

Joseph Smith said, “no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done”

Nothing can stop this work from going forward because we each need this Gospel. We need our Savior Jesus Christ. I have seen sooo many blessings in my life and in my family because of this church and this Gospel. Everytime I think to myself why am I here, I remember what I know to be true and I wouldn’t be here if i didn’t 

This is my Y 

I know it’s true and i hope you do too

Go cougs!
