 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


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 was way hot and way humid so I just sat and watched... even still had sweat dripping down my back. after awhile we moved to the institute building to play some volleyball where there was A/C and that was much better.

TUESDAY
nothing super significant other than the waltz's fed us dinner! the heat has been absolutely wild.

WEDNESDAY
district council! it was so hot in the room we were in for some reason. but we had some good spirit led trainings and discussions. one of the elders gave a training on opening your mouth! (we call it OYM-ing) then he proceeded to open the window and OYM to the guy working outside the church building. he invited him to church and taught him about the Book of Mormon. it was quite inspiring. we've been talking about "how big is your bubble" like how far are you willing to go to share the gospel with someone? Will you only say something if you're walking by or will you go out of your way to go up to them and start a conversation? apparently Elder Sibbett has a huge bubble. on our way to a lesson we got stuck in stand still traffic. we got there eventually... but then our friends weren't home lol

THURSDAY
we had a lesson with our friend Jam. we were very bold with him and he recognized that the anger he was feeling about what we were saying was Satan and that what we were saying is true and Satan didn't want him to know that. which was pretty cool. he asked for a Book of Mormon so he could read more and find out the truth for himself. we're excited to go back! we also visited brother and sister Robinette! she told us some crazy mission stories. on the way home that night the sunset was absolutely beautiful and there were fireflies everywhere! 

FRIDAY
we had a lesson with Mazzie and her dad, Don. Mazzie's sister Maggie was there with her 3 kids. the oldest, Tessa, has recently shown and interest in what we've been teaching. she's 10! her mom gave us permission to teach her and she even has her own Book of Mormon now! we stopped by Chuck and he wasn't home. he's been MIA for awhile.. praying we can get back in contact with him cause he's so elect! 

SATURDAY
we had a new family move into our branch! Austin, Moriah and they're son Clark! they're absolutely adorable. we helped them move in and got to know them a little bit. Moriah is a convert, she served a mission at Temple Square! I love her energy and Clark is the most beautiful baby I've ever seen. we're so excited to have them in our branch. later it poured. like crazy. we were about to head out to dinner when we heard the loudest clap of thunder at the exact same time we saw lightning strike. absolutely terrifying! the streets were completely flooded and apparently if you're outside of the storm you can see where the rain starts and stops. I drove right through the line and it was the craziest experience of my life.

SUNDAY
we had church which was good! we didn't have any friends come but our recent convert brought his neices who aren't members! brother and sister Brooks had us over for dinner! she showed me her quilt she's making, it has the Utah national parks on it! I'll put a picture in my google photos :) 
she also sent us home with freeze dried peaches. I think I needa get myself a freeze dryer. 

it's been a great week! tell me about yours :) I miss and love you all! don't forget to smile :)

 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 fam, I know I know, the title of my email doesn't make sense cause we JUST got a new car like 3 weeks ago... surprise! we got a new car again! it's been a good week :)  can I ask a favor? can y'all pray for my friends? I know prayer is powerful and it works :) prayer list: Lori Jesse Taylor and Dylan Justin  Brandon Lashawna McKenzie google photos:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/o1Wmow78ZBW55WZd8 spiritual thought: I studied a talk by President Russell M Nelson called "The Everlasting Covenant" and I learned about "hesed" which is a Hebrew word for a special kind of covenantal love! "Because of our covenant with God, He will never tire in His efforts to help us, and we will never exhaust His merciful patience with us"  when we are baptized we enter into a covenant relationship with God which binds us to Him and because of that He has a special kind of love for us and will continue to work with us and give us opportunities to change. He loves ...

  oh hey! it's been another week! I'm not sure how we're halfway through April and apparently Ohio doesn't either cause it's still freezing! it better warm up soon.. anyways how are you all?!  here's my google photos:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/o1Wmow78ZBW55WZd8 spiritual thought: okay so I LOVED general conference and if yall didn't get a chance to listen then go do it, if you did.. listen again. it was sooo good! one of my favorite talks was Receive His Gift by Elder Patrick Kearon. here's the link https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2025/04/55kearon?lang=eng he talks about receiving the gift and really understanding the fact that you are a child of God!  "You may be wondering, “What do I have to do to receive this gift from God?” Well, actually, nothing. It is a gift from the Giver. It is simply a fact. Just let it in. You are His child. You are beloved of Him. Do not complicate it. Do not block the receiving of this gift...
