Week 66: Wear the badge loud and proud

 HEY YALL!!!

I gave not one, but two talks yesterday!😎 Which I am very proud of, may I just say😏 I wrote them both kinda last minute and I felt very accomplishedπŸ€‘ I don't like giving talks lolπŸ˜ƒπŸ‘ Butttt I loved it how I was able to learn more about the topics I was speaking on and learn more about this amazing gospel!😌 (Crazy to think there's always more to learn...what?🫨) Anywho, I had a sister from our ward thank me for my talk in a comment in relief society and it made me feel so happyπŸ₯Ή and so special and it just made me so proud to be a missionaryπŸ«‘πŸ•΄

We also visited some inactive members we've been meeting with weekly who me and Sister Heiner stopped by randomly my first or second week here☺️ and they immediately let us in!πŸ₯³ 


They said they hadn't been to church since before covid😱 and haven't gone back cause they were just lazyπŸ«₯ We got talking and i found out I had gotten really close with their jr high/ high school granddaughters in my last area!πŸ˜† So we had an immediate connection. When we were there on Saturday we found out they haven't been to the temple like ever!πŸ˜” So we scratched our lesson plan and talked about the temple and the spirit was so strong😊 We told them that we want to get them to the temple and the first step they need to take is to go to church!!πŸ€— We told them we were speaking and how much it would mean to us and when we were sitting on the stand I looked over and they walked in!!😱 Oh it made me so happy😌 I was tearing up and I elbowed Sister heiner and we both couldn't get the smiles off our face!! I know they felt something😊

A few weeks ago I talked about our friends Alphonso and ErnestineπŸ˜‡ who I taught when I was in MoVal and we had to push back their baptismal dateπŸ˜• but we had an AMAZING lesson with them and talked a lot about family historyπŸ˜‰ and we found his grandpa on family tree!!😯 Their son is a member and him and his wife have done so much of their temple work and they thought it was so cool!!😭 We found some of his family members who he didn't know existed! Family history is so amazingπŸ₯Ή


Along with my title, we had such an amazing visit with our members last night☺️ They asked us what it means personally to wear our name badges. Like why is wearing the badge so important! I started tearing up thinking about taking my tag off and I can't believe I how fast the time is going!😭 We continued to talk about how important the gospel is to us all and when we left, me and sister heiner just bawled in the carπŸ₯° The spirit was so strong and so amazing😚 I love this gospel so so much!! 


LOVE YALLπŸ’—
