My favorite peeps

Hey y'all! Life is so good. I have been learning a lot about obedience lol...for all of you that know me...im not much of a strict rule follower, I kinda just do my thing. I obviously know what's wrong and right..but I'm learning that at least in the mission field, there are rules and guidelines for a reason. Sister Preston and I have been trying to be more exactly obedient, because we know that obedience brings blessings, but EXACT obedience brings miracles. So just little things like starting studies at exactly 9 and get out the house at 10 and all the other little things like that. So the day we decided to be better, we saw straight miracles. I'll share a few with ya! So we were out biking around talking to everyone, and we felt prompted to go to this potentials house, so we go and we were like hey uhh, is this a good time to share a message with you? And he was like Yeah! And we were like oh!....awesome...uhhh... lol it was SO funny, we had no idea what to do when someone actually says yes hahaha so we go in and sit down and talk with him, finds out he's RLDS and knows all of the lds history and is super chill and nice and he turned into our new investigator and wants to learn more! Then like 5 min after his lesson we get a text saying there is a lady who wants to be baptized that has 9 yr old twin boys who want to be baptized too! And so many other miracles happened that day! It was awesome! So that was a testimony builder for me about obedience!! 

     Okay. So the other day we were on exchanges and Sister Sperry came with me in my area, and we met this guy Branden! He's 21 so he's a ysa bro, but he's super chill and has SO MANY QUESTIONS! It's pretty awesome. But he said we could come back, so sister Preston and I went last night and we caught him at the perfect timing, and ended up talking to him for like 2 hours I feel like! He's a funny one, and he's pretty good looking so that made it more fun...but ANYWAYS...he wouldn't take a Book of Mormon the first time I met him, but after a while of talking with him, we asked again...and he was like okay, on one condition...you have to pick a number between 1 and 10...and if you pick the right number, I'll take it... So we were like oh sweet mercy, you're one of those people!? And he was like yep! It's fate for me to take this book if you get the number right! So im praying (literally) to get this right and im thinking 7 and Sister Preston is thinking 8, so we decided 7 and IT WAS RIGHT! We were so scared but Heavenly Father had our backs haha I always pick 7..its my lucky number Ü  but he said he would read and pray about it and we are SO excited!

     GUYS! Anthony is doing SO good! I swear I love that kid! Yesterday he recieved the Priesthood! And everyone in this ysa is so good and nice to him and he's making good friends and I'm just so happy for him! And he just looks so good too! If y'all could see a before and after picture of him you would die!!! The gospel really does help people and uplift them. It's so amazing. And seriously, Anthony is one of those people that I know 100% that I needed to meet him on my mission and teach him. I just have so much love for that kid AND this kid has sleeping issues...he would maybe get 7 hours of sleep a week...like. that's terrible. So we had Elder Hatch give him a blessing and yesterday we asked him if he got any sleep, and he said the other day he got 12 HOURS OF SLEEP! That is soooo good for Anthony Hahaha! So that was good for him to see the power of the Priesthood! 

     So yesterday in our Lakeview ward, Bo (our fav little kid ever) is sitting behind us, and I see him kind of walk up like he's going to bare his testimony and he looks at me with big eyes and I'm like yeah you can do it!! And he's so loud btw, and he's like but I'm so scared!!! And I'm like you got this! And he's like I need you to go up with me!! And everyone is just lookin at us so I'm awh crap I have to go up there lol so he grabs my hand and we walk on up there and he biffs it like 3 times on the way up there, then I had to play the mom roll and whisper everything in his ear, haha it was actually super cute, but then bc I was up there I kinda had to bare my testimony, but its all good! As I'm up there talking I see him biff it again hahaha so funny! Then I sit back down in my seat and he comes out of no where and faceplants right by my chair and I'm like dude Bo, and he gets up with the biggest smile and gives me the loudest highfive and sits back down hahaha what even is my life? Idk.. but it's hilarious. Btw, Bo is the kid i sent the videos of! 

Ughhhh I just love mission life...im so sad it's ending soon it's allllllll good tho, life might be decent when I get home????
