Sister Natalie Hare- Ohio, Columbus Mission 2024-2026

  hey guys! its sister Hare, if you don't remember me, I'm the one who cried the whole time I bore my testimony last year. and I may or may not be crying the entire time I write this. hopefully my mama can keep it together enough to read it to you.  I'm doing pretty well out here in Ohio. i'm in a little village called Greenfield! there's honestly nowhere I'd rather be! except maybe on the mountain with you guys but that's okay cause I'll be back next year! I'm learning and growing a lot out here. I've had a lot of crazy experiences, fun ones, hard ones, scary ones. but I've learned from all of them.  I've thought a lot about what I want to share with you all today and honestly my brain is mush and I can't remember most of the days I've spent here. but I decided I'll just keep it short and sweet. I know that we have a very loving Father in Heaven. He has a perfect plan for each of us. I know that I'm in this specific place...

  hey y'all! another week has just flown by.  prayer list: Taylor and Dylan  Carley  Jesse Brandon Chuck Mazzie Don and me. imma need all the prayers I can get cause I'll be missing the Bundy Reunion this weekend. ifykyk google photos:   https://photos.app.goo.gl/o1Wmow78ZBW55WZd8 spiritual thought: I was just reading in 2 Nephi chapter 9 and verse 39 says  O, my beloved brethren, remember the awfulness in transgressing against that Holy God, and also the awfulness of yielding to the enticings of that cunning one. Remember, to be carnally-minded is death, and to be spiritually-minded is life eternal. carnally-minded - worldly thoughts  spiritually-minded - righteous thoughts as long as we focus on being right with God then we can have eternal life.  I also noticed this: S-piritually M-inded I-s L-ife E-ternal  SMILE! 😁 just remember to smile and think about Jesus! amen.  MONDAY we had a zone activity at the OSU practice fields. it ...

He gave us this perfect plan and then gave us the choice to even follow it! He knew that by coming to earth we'd be imperfect so He sent His perfect son to redeem us!  the purpose of our life on earth is to learn and grow and progress to eventually become like our Father in Heaven. we have to have enough faith to choose Him and choose to follow Jesus Christ! I'm trying every day to choose to follow Him!  what can you do this week to more fully follow Jesus Christ?  2 Nephi 2:25  Adam ...

He loves us each so much that He sent His Only Begotten Son to earth. His perfectly obedient, perfectly loving, perfectly kind, perfect son. to atone for our sins. to make it possible for us to make it home to Him.  He loves us so much that He made this perfect plan for us and gave us the choice! He gives us the choice every day to choose Him. I'm so grateful for that. I'm so grateful for Him. that's all. my favorite primary song is A Child's Prayer. go listen to it :)  MONDAY we had a district activity at a thri...

 hey y'all this week as been wild. I don't even remember half of it. let's get into it.. prayer list: Taylor and Dylan  Carley  Jesse  Brandon Chuck  google photos:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/o1Wmow78ZBW55WZd8 spiritual thought: I listened to this talk while preparing to write my talk on sunday! it's called "It's a Miracle" by Elder Neil L. Andersen and I wanted to share this part of it "Brothers and sisters, as surely as the Lord has inspired more missionaries to serve, He is also awakening the minds and opening the hearts of more good and honest people to receive His missionaries. You already know them or will know them. They are in your family and live in your neighborhood. They walk past you on the street, sit by you in school, and connect with you online. You too are an important part of this unfolding miracle.  If you’re not a full-time missionary with a missionary badge pinned on your coat, now is the time to paint one on your heart—painted, a...

  hey i know what youre thinking.. its not monday. yep but i wanted to go to the temple so you had to wait for this email. I've officially been a missionary for 9 months 🤯  prayer list: Taylor and Dylan Carley Jesse Chuck  Brandon and his son, Brandon Google photos:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/o1Wmow78ZBW55WZd8 spiritual thought: I've been reading The Infinite Atonement and this last chapter I read was talking all about God's infinite love for us. Jesus Christ had a perfect knowledge of what He volunteered to do. but He went through with it purely because He loves us! in Jeffery R. Holland's talk "Tomorrow the Lord will do Wonders among You" he says  "the first great commandment of all eternity is to love God with all of our heart, might, mind, and strength—that’s the first great commandment. But the first great truth of all eternity is that God loves us with all of His heart, might, mind, and strength." he also said "No matter how serious the ...
