Hello Y'all!!!

I hope that you had a wonderful week!! Ours was a different one but it was pretty fantastic!! So last Monday we had to say bye to some of our missionary friends but that's how missions go right?

So last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we were in a trio with Sister Mena and it was a lot of fun!

Last Tuesday was pretty amazing! We were able to teach 3 lessons that day and man I love being a missionary. We first taught a young man about the Plan of Salvation and it is insane how much children know and how quickly they learn!! We were then able to teach this little girl and we have not been able to teach her for like a month and she basically remembered everything we taught the time before! It made my heart happy! That night we were able to teach another man and he is doing amazing! I wish I could help him learn everything that he wants to know all at once but that's not how things work haha! It teaches me patience though!

So I actually wanted to share a pretty cool experience I had last week. So I cannot remember if I told y'all or not but last week I was going though a hard time and it was amazing how much a blessing all of y'all are! So my momma sent me this talk called "Until Seventy Times Seven" By Elder Lynn G. Robbins and shared with me this quote, " “Success,” it has been said, “isn’t the absence of failure, but going from failure to failure without any loss of enthusiasm". And then Adalyn Gaston shared with me, "Your mission is not about you being a perfect missionary AT ALL". And then my sister Morgan sent me this, " Sweetie I have no doubt that the Lord is with you. He is on your right and your left, his spirt is in your heart and I know that heavenly angels that you once New your ancestors and your posterity are there to bear you up!". It was amazing because last Monday night I was praying and I told God how I just wanted to be submissive, meek, and humble and then everything came together! I was going though these things because I asked God to help me be submissive, meek and humble and that's why I am going though the hard time and that's why I was feeling like I was "failing". But with all of those things it just made sense! So thank you all for being inspired and helping me!!

On the 4th of July we were able to help out at a 5K run and it was a lot of fun! Then we were able to be in the Menan Parade! It was a lot of fun! It was the closest time I have felt famous haha! The rest of the day was just weird but it was good! We were not able to see the fireworks though but one of our bishops gave us our own little personal firework show the other night with his family and that was awesome!

I got my new companion on Thursday and that was crazy! She is amazing! Her name is Sister Hurst and she is from Logan, Utah. She is doing amazing and I am excited to serve with her this transfer! 

Yesterday we had an amazing Sunday! We were able to speak in one of our wards and I had to take an half an hour... Hey I did it! I am not sure if it made sense but I did it haha! We had 2 amazing lessons that night as well! I love being able to feel of God's love for people when I am teaching them! 

I love you all so much! I hope you have a great week! I know that this church is true and that the Savior is the head of this church! I would like to challenge you all this week to talk with your missionaries serving in your ward and ask them how you can help them! I love you all!

Love,

Sister Lacey
