You Are Loved

This week we tracted A LOT!!! This week we were out for four hours or more a day just tracting plus lessons so it has been a very busy week but I have loved meeting new people who are so loving and deserving of the gospel! 

We have a girl in our ward who is an amazing member missionary! She is a recent convert and she is just so amazing I love her! She brought a friend to church and she isnt a member, her name is Jasmine and she is fifteen! When she was about nine her mom died and her dad remarried a lady who is a literal whicken (voodoo scary satanic crap). After church Jasmine decided she wanted to take the lessons right away! Yayyy!! So we gave her the first lesson and me and Sister Belnap both had this feeling that she just needed to be told that she has a Savior who loves her. She literally had no idea that she has a Savior and a loving Heavenly Father that love her and know her personally. In that moment I was able to see Jasmine in the eyes of our Savior and I have so much love for such a complete but amazing stranger. I will never forget the look in her eyes knowing that she is loved and that she is a purpose in life. 

She made me realize that the mission is so much more then getting a baptism and increasing our membership statistics. The mission is about bringing other unto Christ and letting them know that they have a Savior who is waiting for them with loving open arms. I know that Jesus Christ loves each and every single one of his children and has paved a path for us to walk on by leaning on him every step of the way. Without Jesus Christ I would no be here today. He has lifted me and carried me when I didn't think I could go another step. I know that he suffered for each one of us and that because of him we will be able to one day walk beside him if we have faith in him and follow his commandments.

I know that this gospel is true and the happiness it can bring into others lives. I am so grateful to be in Louisiana and meet people who are so deserving of the blessings that the gospel brings! I love you all and am so grateful for all the love and support you give me! You are so loved! Never forget it! Much love ya'll

This is the real deal and I am not even joking... I hope this makes you smile and laugh as hard as I did:)

The other day we went tracting in a neighborhood and we knocked on this cute little house and a cute little lady (my favorite) answered! We gave her our whole shpeal and she looked at us with huge eyes and said...

 "I have a big problem..."

Well okay what's the problem?

"I have diarrhea and I need to go and slams the door and you can hear her waddling to the back as fast as she could...

A part of me died on her door step because of how hard I laughed! But it gets better... Just you wait:)

We have a older lady in our ward who has some issues with her head with headaches and all that and takes care of her even older mother! We visit her a lot and she is so sweet and so good to us! She called us the other day and asked if we could come and mop for her because she was just really burnt out and needed help! So we stop by and she answers the door and said come in and hurries and runs to the back where her mom's room is! So Sister Belnap and I walk in and the smell hits us like a brick wall! I mean people's houses stink but this was like death is upon us kind of smell! So we stand there in the mud room and Sister Belnap just points to the middle of the kitchen floor... I kid you not... A huge pile of poop is there and several others places... Sister Belnap starts dying and is sniffing the laundry detergent so she doesn't die! By the time the sweet sister came back Siser Belnap was about green and I was just so shocked and was speechless! She explained to us her mom was having severe diarrhea everywhere and she needed to clean it up and that she would have us come clean a different day! I have never laughed so hard in my whole entire life! So in other words is just been a really poopy week :) I hope you get a little laugh out of this too cause I sure do! The joys of being a missionary:) I LOVE IT!!! 

Since our area is so rich.. This is the neighborhoods own personal marina.

I made mom's casserole and it called for a picture:)
