COME AND SEE NOV 3, 2023

 Hey everyone!

 Week one of the MTC, well kind of! I've really only been here three days, but I already love it so much! There is such a special spirit here, you just cant help but smile as you walk around the campus! 

This week I've been thinking a lot about the invitation Christ gives to his apostles in John 1 to "come and see". I love this line and have felt Christ extending the same invitation to me this week. I'm so excited to come closer to Christ throughout these next 18 months and to see the miracles he has in store for me and the people I'm serving. 

Thats all for this week! I know its not a ton, but like I said,  it's only been three days! I love you all and cant wait to talk to you again next week!

Mall of America craziness! 3/18/24

  Hey Everybody! The last couple weeks have been absolutely crazy! We were able to go to Mall of America last week and had an interesting time... Elder Hemingway almost died, but he wanted to write about it himself so... ( he also wrote it from my perspective so...) Hi Guys this is Elder Hemingway typing this. I said that the fans (You guys) need to hear about her week so here I am slaving away so that you guys can hear somewhat about her week.  *Ahem  Lets begin We went to Mall of America this past Pday and it was interesting. After being there for a bit Elder Hemingway did the stupidest thing. He ate this spicy gumball called the Gob. He started throwing up and we literally had to save him. We got him some some milk and other things to stop the burring. He also got a heat high from it so he kind of was out of it for a minuet. I would never do that I think I would die.  Ok It's Sister Petty again! but ya, I will never forget that trip to mall of America!  This ...

Two dumb blondes in the creeks comes to an end 2/19/24

  Hey Everyone! I know I start pretty much every email off like this, but once again this week was crazy!  We had a lesson with our friend Rohit that was 2 1/2 hours long... my brain was completely dead after! It was our last lesson with him since we finally got him to agree to meet with the missionaries who are actually in his area, and because it was our last we had some members who wanted the lesson to be at their house! Although the lesson went way over, we saw miracles! After the lesson we went back to say hi to the Members mom, who's a convert and has the sweetest testimony! When she found out Rohit was just learning about the church she looked right at him and said, "Do it, this is where the lord wants you so just do it!" She then told us her conversion story and it was the coolest experience!  This week we also had transfers!! Sister Brady left which was no surprise, she had been in this area for 4 transfers! What did surprise us was that both me and Sister Brady ...

  Hey everybody! This week has been so amazing, and crazy, and just all of the above!  My last week at the MTC was CRAZY! Sister Spannaus came for our Tuesday night devotional and I learned so much from her! She talked a lot about how are job as missionaries is to help people focus the light in their lives. I thought this a cool way to see it! Because everyone has been given the light of Christ, So we help people to focus and recognize it. We had the departure devotional on Wednesday and guess what guys?? I GOT TO PLAY THE MUSICAL NUMBER!! I was so excited and grateful for the chance to share my testimony through music. The piano has been such a big part of my life for so long, and has helped me grow my testimony so the chance to share that with others at the MTC was beyond amazing!  I flew out to Minnesota on Friday morning, (little bit of advice... avoid waking up at 3:30, just trust me on this one!) My trainer is amazing!! We've had one lesson so far and...
