Stuck in the mud











Logan got baptized! It was really great! All the speakers at his baptism did wonderful. They were very spirit led. The ordinance itself was a little funny because Logan is a kind of big guy and the person baptizing him is quite a bit smaller than him. Plus the font was draining a little during the program so by the time they got in the water it was about mid thigh on Logan. So when it came time to actually perform the baptism, Logan slipped and basically was just dropped into the water. It probably shouldn't have been funny...but it was kind of funny. :) 

 

We also had interviews with President Ames this week which was really great. As usual. I had been worrying about the fact that I was going to be going home soon, but he was able to reassure me that going home isn't the scariest thing in the world, and that I really didn't have a ton to worry about. So yay! Now I feel like I can really just focus on making the remainder of my time on the mission great. 

 

I so love being a missionary! The gospel is so amazing and I love seeing how it can change people's lives. If we're just humble and listen to the promptings of the spirit then we will never be lead astray and we will be able to overcome all our difficulties and shortcomings. The atonement of Christ heals all wounds and gives us the capacity to forgive beyond what we could ever imagine. I know that because that is what it has done for me! I've had some hard things happen in my life, but as I've grown closer to my Savior I have been able to heal and to forgive. Logan's mom has been such a positive example of that as well. She's had one of the toughest lives that I've heard of and through it all she's been able to forgive herself and forgive all those who have hurt her. All because of her faith in Jesus Christ and His atonement. 

 

The gospel is true! Jesus Christ is our Savior. God is truly our Heavenly Father and He loves us so much! I'm grateful to have this knowledge and for the opportunity I have to share it with others! I love all of you so much!

How it Came to Be

I figured that I'd start off this whole blog by telling you how I came to the decision to go on a mission. It definitely wasn't easy for me. The thought of going on a mission had never really occurred to me before. Then in October of 2012 President Thomas S. Monson announced that the previous age for sister missionaries to serve, which was 21, was now being lowered to 19 years old. Even then my initial thought was "meh, whatever". However as I continued in my college education I realized that I  was kind of burned out of school, and I wanted to do something else. Then the thought of seriously going on a mission came to me. I still wasn't sure but after a couple months thinking about it, I decided I would start my mission papers and see how I felt about it. So I started them in February of 2013 and finished them all the way in May. I still had good feelings about it, but I hadn't had that personal confirmation from Heavenly Father that I needed to go. So I...
