Week 38: The One Where I thought I stepped on a nail

 WOW. is all I have to say right now. I am so overcome with how loved I am. By God, by my Savior, by my life. General Conference was amazing and the PEACE, HOPE and GUIDANCE I received was what I have been praying for. I am so so grateful to be a missionary in this time and feel so much excitement and Joy for the growth and many other days and things I will learn to be for others and for my God.


I asked one of the girls we are teaching what she thought my name was (we are called Sister or Elder and then last name on the mission) and she said without hesitation EMMA! and we were all like how the heck and she shrugs and goes "your bracelet":)) 

my fav nails rn, I've been growing them out for a month plus now! 

my main squeeze right now lol

stepped on a nail, I thought... I couldn't look at it…. ended up just being a sharp needle from a bush that looked like a nail. thanks for schmid that yanked it out for me and the kids that stood there in shock not knowing what to do as I held in a cuss word or two.

Week 50: The One Where Stelann Gets Baptized ♡

  This GORGEOUS girl we met at target took us out for lunch and it was literally the BEST!! she seriously was a light to our day.  "and as the Lord liveth he will remember the covenant which he hath made with them. And he knoweth the prayers... and he knoweth their faith, for in his name could they remove mountains" -Mormom 8:23-24  I think often we think of mountains being moved by literally having them disappear. But as I learn and teach more about the gospel of Jesus Christ I come to understand that mountains don't move, the Lord just gives us the strength we need to climb up them. To stand there and see the beauty at the top, feel the strength and feel the hurt from the climb.   DESIRE IS MORE THAN WORDS ITS ACTION.       NAEA made me wear this lipstick for an hour while finding and I hated it hahahahaha.             "Jack with many talents" -Me "Repeat that saying one ...
