Howdy from Texas!

The Church is True in Houston!

What a great few months!  It has been full of teaching, service projects, baptisms, changes and adapting to a new area.  Heavenly Father is really sending us prepared individuals.  I'm noticing it isn't necessarily anything we are saying or doing in specific ways, but realizing we are just His instruments and trying our best to open our mouths to everyone.  It's amazing to be a part of the Lord's work.  As long as we really do our best, the miracles do not cease. I love the experiences I am having on my mission.  I wouldn't trade this time for anything else.  It is evident that the Lord is preparing us for His return by hastening His work and I'm so happy I am part of His Army of Missionaries.

 "Sister Conference"

Sister Thompson and Sister Hawkes, it was good to see my first Companions again.

Right- Sister Harris my MTC Companion

Our trip to Sister's Conference to hear Sister Sheri Dew!

January 25th was an amazing day with Kevin and Chanselle's baptism.  They were so happy and it was such a special day.  The ward gave great support as well and I know they will really flourish in the gospel.  In a year they get to be sealed in the temple too!  What a memorable weekend.

 Well isn't this just a fun time of year.  The month of LOVE!  I have been studying about Charity  which has helped me gain a greater desire to talk to everyone and share my testimony of the gospel with them.








A big thanks for all the letters, packages and wonderful surprises.
  It made my whole week!

  For Valentines Day, Sister Cotton and I  had a lot of fun sneaking around and giving heart Attacks to some of our less actives who need more love in their lives.

Rhea's Baptism!  It was such an awesome baptism!  She was so excited and ready for it.  The best part was her family was there to support her.  The spirit was so strong and they really enjoyed it as well.  Sister Cotton and I had the opportunity to speak at the services and I felt it an honor to be a part of it. 

Our sweet miracle "Rhea"!

After serving in the Clearlake Area for 7 months, I received my first transfer to the Sienna Plantation area with Sister Newman.  This area is  so--so beautiful.  It starts in Missouri City, Sienna Plantation (where i live), Houston, Sugar Land, Fresno, Arcola, etc.  Big area with lots of work to do! I love my companion already.  She is amazing! She is from South Jordan, but went to Dixie State last year too.  Small world!  I felt like I knew everyone at Dixie, but guess not.  We hit if off sooo well.  I've been very blessed to have such awesome companions.

My lovely new companion Sister Newman!

Celebrating Sister Newman's 9 month mark with Sonic Wednesday!

Sister Newman and I are  trying to read the Book of Mormon together this transfer.  We are trying to mark anything that has to do with faith.  I love doing this!  It's going to be a challenge, but I am  already learning so much from it and my testimony of the Book of Mormon continues to grow more and more.

I love ya'll and hope you have a great week!
