Hermana Anderson and I boutta hit some major park contacting Champaign Illinois October 2024 |
Hi friends and familia!!!
Wild week.. I became a mother.. I'm officially training my bestie Hermana Anderson!! She is just seriously the cutest and she's so excited to work. I'm so excited to have her here and literally so beyond grateful for her!! She's from Lehi, Utah and she's pretty awesome! She also hypes me up like no otha.. so I may need to be humbled soon… jokes jokes
This week has seriously just been crazy, I've been trying to train and baptize and it's a lot harder than it looks, but we are def figuring it out one day at a time!! We figured out transfer news on Monday night. I found out I was going to train on Tuesday, then Wednesday we drove 3 hours to St. Louis and picked up my trainee and then she and I drove 3 hours back up to Champaign!! I'm so blessed to still be in Champaign. It's seriously so pretty here and I'm stoked for the fall changing leaves here!!

Hermana Anderson and I have just been trying to be on the teaching grind. We have had like 30 appts in 3 days and 27 of them have canceled, so that has been lame. But praying for a better week next week. Our friend Mateos' phone was broken all week and so we have been stressing to get in contact with him before the big baptism day! We went to his house 3 times this past week and every single time he was still at work. Then, last night, we tried one more time… and in his broken English he opened the door and he said “ ohhh myyy goshh” . It was so funny. But we were able to talk with him and he told us that he didn't pay his phone bill and that he was definitely still on board for his baptism!! We are seriously so excited for him, we all snapped a pic at the end and said a quick prayer before we left. His prayer was so pure and sweet and he thanked God for showing him that He loves him through our visit last night. It was seriously so precious! Please pray for Mateo these next couple of weeks!
First day on the Lord's errand!! Champaign Illinois October 2024 |

Pranking the trainee!! Champaign Illinois October 2024 |
My spiritual thought this week comes from Alma 26:37
“37 Now my brethren, we see that God is mindful of every people, whatsoever land they may be in; yea, he numbereth his people, and his bowels of mercy are over all the earth. Now this is my joy, and my great thanksgiving; yea, and I will give thanks unto my God forever. Amen.”
God numbereth His people!! There is no better phrase than that! He loves you, he knows you, he cares for you. He literally has a perfect love for each of us individually!! I'm so grateful for my time out here in Illinois to remind people and show them God's love for them! Always remember God loves you and God is GOOD!!! HE HEARS AND ANSWERS YOUR PRAYERS!!! I love y'all!
