  • twentynine palms.

    Heyyy y’all! I officially made it through my first week in the field in Twentynine Palms California! Not gonna lie, this is probably the best area of the mission and I’m so pumped for this transfer. AREA: so first off here’s a little background of my area. We serve right next to one of the…

  • mtc!

    Well, I officially finished the MTC! Those short six weeks were the best times ever. I didn’t know it was possible to learn and grow so much so fast! Almost a week ago, I got word that I will be reassigned to the San Bernardino, California mission temporarily until Germany gets out of their current…

  • woche sechs.

    Hey hey! I’m down to a few days left of home MTC! Crazy stuff. I have learned a crap ton in the past 6 weeks and I’m certain I’m going to keep learning even more in the weeks to come! This past week I’ve been thinking a lot about the story in Matthew 14:24-33 about…

  • woche zwei.

    It has been a good week! Being a missionary is so much fun and I can already feel how much of a blessing it is to me to have the Spirit as a constant companion in addition to my wonderful companion, Sister Miltimore, every day! She is a gem and we get along so well…

  • woche eins.

    Hallo hallo! I don’t know if this is even considered week one because I have only had one full day as a missionary so far, but I’m gonna say its good;). So far, it has been a little overwhelming and I have already had many soul searching moments where I have to really consider my…

  • glory.

    Each person on this earth possesses a degree of the light of Christ. Simply because we chose to be here, we chose to follow God, and whether or not we realize it, we are a significant part of His divine purpose. I like to picture everything in the sense of the degrees of glory: telestial,…
