"3-legged-baby-train"

I cannot even tell you how hard I have laughed this week.

I LOVE THIS TRIO!! Sister Bargeron is so hilarious. She is just like Maddie Simpson. She is leading us out this area like a boss too, and she makes me laugh till I can't breathe. That's like- the BEST. We are both finish training Sister Bagley, she is adorable! So sweet and smart. She's like Rapunzel and she seems like she's been out 6 months so.... I have had such a great week. And that's not even all!! It's so good to be back in Bristow!! Sister Lodge had us over for dinner one night, and when she opened her front door, she gave out the biggest holler and gave me a huge hug!! Seeing everyone at church yesterday just made it feel more like home. I love this place.

3 Generations

We are SO BLESSED to teach some amazing people here in Bristow! This place is on fire, sooo many miracles! We are teaching this AMAZING FAMILY named the Craigs. Jamie and Matt, the parents, are the coolest ever. Matt is the first sergeant at the Arlington Cemetery (uhhh yeah- like a big deal), he's the one that's in charge of all the soldiers and making sure everything goes right in the day. Talk about stressful job! Well I would be stressed. He's like super awesome.. when I first met him yesterday at church, I went in to shake his hand and he gave me a solid handshake, and said with his deep booming voice, "Hi, I'm Matt Craig." Also he's like 6 foot somethin. Straight stud. Jamie is a stay at home mom, but also was in the army. They have four of the cutest kids ever. She loves Al Fox, the tattooed Mormon. She is so sweet! Basically the sisters met them a few months ago when a member in the ward just randomly said "yeah I guess you could check on them over there," they moved in like a year ago. Matt and Jamie and their oldest son, Indy, are all on date for August 26th. I seriously love them so much, they are so prepared. They are so willing to live the gospel and come closer to God. It's so beautiful to watch them embrace the gospel.

Yesterday these 3 young single adult boys came up to us in our car when we were about to leave for dinner. Sister Bagley had waved at them. Pretty sure they were trying to hit on us and then we were like "oh yeah we are the missionaries!" And they wanted to hear ourmessage. One of them, Hasuan was so solid! He got baptized in his church not too long ago and really wants to be a missionary. We had the chance to share with them the Book of Mormon and first vision. As I recited the first vision, they were all captivated. The Spiritfilled my heart. I know that Joseph saw God the Father and His son, Jesus Christ, and I know God called him to be the prophet of this last dispensation. When I invited them to be baptized if they came to feel it was true, Hasuan's response was so funny.. he immediately was like "Well I ain't tryin' to go to hell!" So I'd take that as a yes! Good response Hasuan, good response. Haha

The gospel is so simple and beautiful. I love being a missionary. I love serving with these two marvelous hard working sisters. I feel so blessed to be here. God is so good. I'm so grateful for the many blessings He has given to me as I've strived to live the gospel 
throughout my life. I'm reminded each day just how precious these gospel truths are, and how much people really need to hear about them. I cannot even express how REAL the command is from God to share the gospel. Do all you can to lift others, love them, and share the beautiful restored gospel with them. Some may accept, some may reject it. But when they accept it, you will feel no greater joy. You'll be filled with immense gratitude and joy. I can promise you that. I love you all so much! Let your light shine everyday. ☀️

Xoxox,
