Mooresville, IN

Holy Cow this week was a wild one! I'm so grateful to be out in Indiana serving a mission! It has brought me so much joy, and has changed me so much just in six weeks! 

MONDAY: Your basic p-day. Although it was super cold that night, and I forgot my thermals so my knees got hives on them when we got back inside.  It was super weird but they went away after a hot shower.

TUESDAY: It was a little bit of a rough day because I was super nervous about transfer news, but still went out and did the work.

WEDNESDAY: The big day was here, we received a call from President Matheson and he told us that Sister Oldham was leaving and I would stay in Mooresville and Sister Green would be my companion and trainer for the second half of my training! I was so sad to not serve another transfer with Sister Oldham! She is literally the best, and sweetest trainer. She was exactly what I needed! I'm going to miss her, but I really hope we will serve together again.

THURSDAY: Transfer day! We got fun drinks on our way there, and when we arrived I ran into Sister Veach who was my companion at the MTC.   I was so happy to see a familiar face! I got my teewee (which means I can drive now).   I got an "Aggressive Driving" alert on my first day on the way to a member meal, whoops!

FRIDAY: We had District Council and it was great and super spiritual!

SATURDAY: We did lots of knocking and we did some really good daily contacting. We invited a referral to church and she said she would come.  Her response to our invitation, and I quote, "I'm the big fat lady you won't miss me".  I wasn't sure how to respond to that, but it gave us a good laugh!


SUNDAY: It was an awesome day, although nothing super exciting happened.

Spiritual Thought:
This week I really didn't want anything to change. I wanted to stay with Sister Oldham and stay in Mooresville; however, we can't grow if nothing changes! Change is scary but the Lord has been through it and goes through it with us. I know that as I rely on the Lord He will help me to change and grow into the best version of myself! 

This week was full of so many emotions, and a great times! I'm super excited for this transfer and all the blessings that will come of it.  I love you all so much and hope you have the best week! Those of you on missions, continue gathering! This is the Lord's work and the most important thing you can be doing right now!

Mooresville, IN Monday, December 15, 2025 I cannot believe that I have been out for 3 months, and it's the week before Christmas! This is such a special time to be a missionary, I'm so grateful for this time! I wouldn't want to be anywhere else! Friends we are teaching: Right now we have two friends that are progressing and coming to church! Our friend Shirley is going to be baptized, she has such a strong faith and has never been baptized before so I'm hopeful for her. Our other friend David comes to church through thick and thin! He will also be getting baptized, I can tell!  Highlights: - SISTER OLDHAM SPENT THE NIGHT! Her and her companion would have had a two hour drive to the mission tour so they did half the drive Wednesday and spent the night at our apartment. It was much needed, I missed her so badly! -MISSION TOUR! We had two general authorities come and talk to us! Elder Barcellos and Elder Haynie! They both gave very inspiring talks! - WEATHER UPDATE It was ...

 Monday, October 20, 2025  Mooresville, Indiana THE LEAVES ARE TURNING! It is finally starting to feel like fall here (not that I really know what that's like)! It is so pretty. MONDAY: My preparation day didn't even feel real. First we went to Denny's for brunch. They didn't cook the eggs; a lot of the district ordered sunny-side up and while some of the white were cooked most of it wasn't. Then we went thrift store shopping! I love to thrift, it is like my favorite thing. I got that from my Nana and Grandma Lo. Then I sent voice messages and called my family. After p-day I went on exchanges. I was super nervous about it, but it was so good. TUESDAY: We had a ton of lessons! I met so many people. Sister Thompson's area is the Indiana University campus so we spent a lot of time pc (public contacting) that was super nerve wreaking because going up to people and talking to them is very new to me, but getting out of my comfort zone is so important for growth.  We w...

Monday, December 8, 2025 Mooresville, IN  Hello All!  This week we had exchanges and I went to IU campus and it was super fun! Even though public contacting isn't my favorite, I had a great time. It snowed like crazy Monday night and into Tuesday. We had some lessons with our friends and a returning member. I'm so grateful for all our friends (people we're teaching) and their desires to grow closer to Christ. We had two friends come to church on Sunday! We had an awesome fast and testimony meeting; one of our friends even got up to bear his testimony!  Spiritual Thought: God is in the details of our lives.  He is so aware of every need that we have. I'm so grateful for prayer and the time to talk with Heavenly Father about my day and my troubles. I was so grateful to receive Christmas cards from the Activity Day (8-11 year-olds) girls in my ward at home this week.   Love you all hope you are having the best December, and Christmas season!
