Jun 5, 2024 -- Revolutionizing the Work

Centerton, AR

May 30 - June 5, 2024

Hope you all are having a wonderful start to your summer! Summers here in AR are just as hot as UT, but dowsed in humidity. The Cicedas and greenery make up for it though, it is beautiful out here!

Highlights!
•     Spent another afternoon hauling trees in Bentonville! I learned 1.Many hands make light work and 2.Investing in a chainsaw is absolutely worth it.
•     Ian was disappointed when we told them that he probably can't be baptized for George Washington, and then we had to dissuade Wyatt from getting on a platform and street preaching😅 It is one of his many ideas to revolutionize missionary work haha. We also told him that his original idea of putting cards on everyone's door doesn't always fill the chapel. I'm not sure if he believes us.
•     We taught Kirsty the Word of Wisdom and she said she wanted to take it slow and over time. She has already overcome so much. Yet as we reminded her of her upcoming baptism, she said she would absolutely do it in the next few weeks because baptism is absolutely worth it!
•     Walking through the chapel Sister Brown asks "is this seat saved for Santa?" I don't hesitate to say "yes". Comp unity 100. We have started reading each others minds. (And also have this awesome guy in our ward who is apparently Santa every Christmas)

This week a few selections from the new hymnbook came out, and they are absolutely amazing. Just like everyone else, I was especially excited for Come Thou Fount. After singing it so many times with the other PV 10 YW, it is close to my heart (sure love and miss you all!) Too often I catch my self slipping away, forgetting, wandering. I love the message it brings of giving it all to God.

"Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love. Here’s my heart, O take and seal it; Seal it for Thy courts above"
#1001 Come Thou Fount

Love and Mizpah!

Centerton, AR May 16 - 22, 2024 Ian got baptized this week!!😆 It was such a special day for him, and he had great support from the Deacons and the ward. I am SO excited for him and his family🩷 Highlights! •     Got to back to my last area, Har-Ber, for zone Conference and saw our sweet member Jeanne! •     Got to talk to the sweetest single dad, Alex, out smoking meat with a pretty crazy contraption. He got emotional at the end, and told us to come back in 6 months after his surgery so he could sit down and talk with us more:) •     Nothing brightens my day more than hanging out with kids at member dinners! It's not every day that you learn about the "Wing Claw Bird", and are waved goodbye by a dancing princess. Quote for you: "I'm glad I'm not a bovine" - Bishop Hoyt We got to help Wyatt, and a few other recent converts learn about their family history and prepare family names to take to the temple. Shout out to Sister Morton, it is s...

Mar. 13, 2024 -- Golden Hour🙌

Centerton, AR  March 7th - 13th This week Wyatt was baptized!! What an incredible day. He bore his testimony at the end and shared his story. The spirit was so strong, and it is clear that God has great plans for him. The next day he received the greatest gift for his birthday, the Gift of the Holy Ghost😊 It was so cool to see the proud faces of the brothers Wyatt has met as they watched him make this step. They loved him as soon as they met him, and so many were quick to invite him to dinners and gatherings. It is never to late to be a missionary. Highlights! •     Got to be involved with a service organization called Sleep in Heavenly Peace, where they make beds for kids who don't have them. The turnout was huge, and it was so cool seeing everyone work together for such a good cause! •     As a missionary I've grown a greater appreciation for 1. daylight savings time, and 2. pull through parking •     Immediately after Wyatt was confi...

Feb. 28, 2024 -- Where's Gary

Centerton, AR  Feb 22 -28, 2024 While I may not have any crazy stories to share, this week - and every week - is full of tiny little miracles. Some people might call them coincidences, but I know they are miracles:) Tiny miracles/Highlights! •     After our visit, our friend Prakash drove to a neighbors and we sat in the car outside of his house for a good while planning where to go next. Suddenly Sister Thayn notes we should probably go before he gets back, and no joke as soon as I start driving his headlights turn the corner😂 The timing was crazy. •     Couldn't find my wallet, until the next morning when someone had left it untouched on our windshield. •     One of our friends is turning his life to God. He had a court case after someone attacked him and texted us right after saying that God told him to forgive his oppressor, and he did. •     Wyatt! We talked about the Word of Wisdom and he is just so humble. He had c...
