 Monday, July 27, 2026 Anderson, IN Wow this week was really crazy! We had transfers on Wednesday and I stayed in Anderson and I got a new companion, Sister Kruse. I am so excited to do another season in Anderson I love the ward here! I was the only one to stay and all the other missionaries in Anderson left, so I had a baptism to plan on Friday which was super fun...and very last minute.  Saturday was awesome, in the morning we got a history lesson from a member, she was so funny! Then we went to the ward party to help set up and take it down. It was so good to get to know the members better.   In the evening we had so many miracles. We were walking past this house and I felt prompted to knock it and so did sister Kruse so as we were knocking they pulled up and we had a great conversation with them! They were super busy but said they would come check out a church service. We also met some other really cool people that evening.  A night of small miracles! Sunday...

Monday, July 13, 2025 Anderson, IN This week was so long!!  The week started out fine and slowly just got slower! It was a basic week, however.   I hit 10 months as a missionary which is crazy! Our best way of finding people to teach right now is through referrals and we didn't get any for awhile and then on Wednesday we got like five and three of them answered when we reached out. This was such a miracle!  One of our referrals is a member from Colombia who visits her boyfriend here on school breaks. She reached out to us because she wants to feel closer to God again. She said she had been feeling disconnected and that something was missing and so she reached out. She is a returned missionary and felt like she could find happiness other places, but has realized that true joy comes from the Gospel of Jesus Christ! She is wanting us to meet with her boyfriend to teach him more about the church too!  We had a lesson with Anderson this week and we taught him about t...

 Monday, July 6, 2026 Anderson, IN This week was so long but really fun!  The elders we ward share with previously didn't have a defined area that would be theirs to cover; they finally got their area defined and its about half of the area we were previously working in, so all of the friends we were teaching are now their responsibility.  One of those friends is super elect, so we just set them up really well, they should be able to be successful in their new area!  We got to meet our Mission President on Wednesday and we helped a friend move into their new house! The rest of the week we just worked and worked.   Saturday rolled around and we worked in the morning, then helped clean the church building for Sunday. The Elders were talking about the Anderson Speedway, so we got to go watch cars race for 4th of July! It was so fun, although it did start to rain and lightning so the rest of the show got postponed, but we have to be in at 9pm anyway, so we heade...

Monday, June 29, 2026  Anderson, IN This week was a basic week kinda! We painted gnomes on Tuesday with an inactive member which was so fun! We had a devotional with our new mission President, he is super cool! I'm excited for all the unknown (because there is a lot of it). Wednesday we found a blind old lady and she seemed super nice.  We made bread at a members house, that was so fun! Mine was not the prettiest but still tasted good. On Thursday we had three lesson and none of them went through. Friday was great, we were on an exchange and I stayed in Anderson. We found some really cool people! I'm excited to see them progress.  Anyway, here is the big stuff: our friend Anderson was going to get baptized on Sunday so we spent the week preparing for that; however, he isn't quite ready yet, which is perfectly fine! I'm learning to trust more in the Lord's timing than in my timing.  We are going to keep teaching and helping him learn more about the gospel. Spiritual ...
