Hi Hi Hi!! Wow what a week, sadly I don't have much for y'all!! 

This week we had zone conference! I literally love zone conference, it just gets me so hyped to be a missionary again! Ahah it really recharges me each transfer! President and Sister Mckay are just super spirit led and amazing, and I get to see all my cute missionary friends around the mission!! Also we had snow cones and Sister Taufau taught me which flavors to get because she from Tonga and Hawaii so she'd know! lol

We also went to go teach Sylvia and Mario again! I literally love them! They are on date for this Saturday! Big big prayers for them this week! We got special permission to go to their baptism (because they are being baptized in her sisters branch) so I am so hyped! It's been so fun to have been there from the beginning to now watching them get so excited to be baptized. In our lesson with them on Thursday Mario said “Quiero bautizarme pronto”, he literally just wants to be baptized already! It has really just filled my soul with so much happiness and has reminded me why I am on a mission! I love sharing the gospel! 

Also fun thought of the week! I'm not the biggest ice cream gal but Sister Bruin has put me on! We went and got ice cream Saturday night and gosh it is the bomb!! We bought LOTS!!! Anyways, I'm now addicted to fruit ice cream so yummy! Especially strawberry cheesecake! Def will be a dessert at my wedding! 

Zone conf besties! Literally love sis Clark so much!!

Well, sorry I have nothing to write about. We really taught probably 500 beginning Book of Mormon messages! Because we have been revamping our whole area. We got a whole lot of rejection this week so everyone pray that we will find people that will progress!!! Specifically families!! Whoop whoop! 

Although, one last miracle of the week, after working super hard and honestly feeling like down in the dumps that no one was gonna come to church with us, we decided to call this guy who hasn't responded once to us. We were just gonna call him one last time and then give him to God for a bit (not reach out for a while). But after one last call, he answered. He said we wanted to come to church and he's seeking peace and change! His name is Ruben and guess what y'all RUBEN ACTUALLY PULLED UP TO CHURCH!!!! Gosh I was so proud. Felt like a little gift from God! So pray that Ruben will keep coming!

My spiritual thought comes from both me and my super awesome comp Sister Bruins convos of the week and zone conference! At zone conference we talked all about how we follow the spirit and trust in the Lord! And on the way home Sister Bruin and I were taking and we just straight up said “Honestly we don't know what we are doing, we wake up, we do the things we know will guide us through the day, and we trust the Lord will provide.” This has been a strong strong theme on my mission! Because honestly y'all I don't know what I am doing at all, but I know I know that the Lord puts people in places at certain times who are prepared! Which is why it is so so necessary for us to speak to every Latino we see! Because they could be the one from the ninety-nine. This perspective has changed my mentality on my stateside Spanish speaking. I am called to serve in this exact area, in this exact time, in this language! 

I'm not going to lie to you all and say it's all butterflies and rainbows but I am so grateful for Spanish people of St. Louis! Hopefully we get some good work going but I am beyond stoked for the baptism this Saturday and it's gonna be so fun making a little trip to iIlinois!!! I love you all so so much! Have the best week! God is so good!!

Cape Giardeau Missouri June 2025 Hi y’all!! Crazy that this will be your last email from me! Where did all the time go? Ending my mission is so bittersweet—it truly has been the greatest time of my life. And y’all, let me tell you, this last week was no exception. We ended my time in the MSLM with a bomb week! So let’s get into it! This week, Sister Richins and I were reaping the blessings from our diligence the week prior. We had set up sooo many appointments for ourselves last week, so this week was just lesson after lesson! It was genuinely a blast!! We have made the COOLEST friends—Lyla, Adam, JJ, and J-Money (his name is Jaylen, but he told us to call him J-Money...

Y’all, we actually had a pretty solid and super odd week—lol! Also, the title comes from the fact that my companion quotes this from   Saturday's Warrior   every morning... and it’s pretty much us! 💁‍♀️😜 First off, y’all,   Regi LOVED church!   He asked us if he could come back and we invited him to be baptized! He said YES! So we are working for May 24th with him! I am a little nervous, though, because he lives with a bunch of people from the street. It’s ...
