Mooresville, IN

This was such a good week! 
Highlights from the week included:

We had to trek through the snow! We had a huge snow storm last Sunday and Monday and it has stuck around all week. We had to walk through about a foot of snow to get to a lesson, it was slow glowing but we made it eventually. 

We were able to find some people this week, so that was great.  We've had a hard time getting people to answer their doors because of the cold, nobody wants to open their door and let out the heat, or step out onto the porch to freeze!  On Friday we had District Council and we got to take our "end of the transfer" pictures with however many months we have been out.   One of the Sister's I car-share with is going home, I'm going to miss her!

Saturday we had to up at 6am to go to a stake missionary conference.  The conference was so fun, we helped the youth learn how to teach a lesson to a friend which was fun. Then we had a Q&A session and answered the youth's questions about missionary service. Some kids had goofy questions and some were really good!

The Plainfield Sister's had a baptism that we attended and after the baptism, our friend Brent took us out to dinner.   Saturday was the best day!  On Sunday the Elders had a baptism, but their friend didn't come to church, so they had to go find him. Turns out he got called into work and while he told his employer that he had his baptism, they wouldn't let him leave; he actually just walked out and headed to his baptism anyway! That is a lot of faith!

We had three of our investigators show up to church on Sunday.  That was a great blessing and we taught two of them after and set up another teaching appointment. 
My spiritual thought this week comes from Mosiah 18:
10 Now I say unto you, if this be the desire of your hearts, what have you against being baptized in the name of the Lord, as a witness before him that ye have entered into a covenant with him, that ye will serve him and keep his commandments, that he may pour out his Spirit more abundantly upon you?

I love this verse because it teaches baptism so simply.

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!
