6 month mark

Monday, July 22, 9:16 AM

 6 months! Can you believe it. I know I can´t. These last 6 months have gone so different than I would have ever imagined. So many lows but also so so many highs! You all know and I how I love running analogies. I had a coach email a few months ago and just talked to me about how he thought my junior year my heart wasn´t in it and then my senior year he was in shock how well I did and how much I loved it. I am not going to lie I am still learning to love the mission just like how much I loved my senior year of cross country. In a BYU speech called "Let Us Run with patiene the Race That is Set Before Us" says that with little small steps you can begin to LOVE the race! I am sure each one of you right now are having a hard time just being happy where you are at. You are waiting for the next exciting thing to happen in your life, when quite honestly you could be missing the best "run" of your life. I know that we take a step back, count our blessings, take it one lap at a time, and push forward having faith in Jesus Christ you will be able to begin to love your "race." There is a video in the gospel library that I have proabably watched a million times in the last 6 months. You have to watch it! I'll add the link below. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your Heavenly Father when you are about to fall. It causes unnecesary pain. He is right by your side, every step of the way. Just like a coach HE wants you to succeed! USE HIM, it well help you run the race that is set before you. Life isn't a sprint, it is a marthon. Keep trying, keep running, keep pushing. YOU are here to keep going! Highlights of this week: -Mission temple trip! There is nothing else like sitting in the Celestial Room with a bunch of missionaries! -Me and Hermana Smith celebrated our half birthdays together! When we found out that we had the same birthday it was our dream to be companions January 17th. But half birthdays are just as good I suppose! -our neighbor, Luz, she is the cutest lady ever! She has become our mom out here! Always giving us hugs and is baffled that two little white girls speak spanish love yall hna rigby Your Great Adventure: Overcoming Life’s Obstacles

Well today was long but filled with lots of good things. I got my heart rate up to 180 this morning. It literally felt so good. We had goal setting as a zone this morning, cool to see the zone come together and make goals to help fulfill the fathers will. personal study today was good. I am so close to finishing the book of mormon. I really liked Ether 15:34. Just how it refers to doing the lords will, which is something that I am not the best at. Today the lord concecrated our efforts. We got a super prepared refferal who wants to learn more about the book of mormon. And the other one literally ran into us on the way back to our car. Finally seeing a little bit of the fruits of our efforst from finding!! Today we had interviews and I didnt cry!!! I talked to sister jones about family history and how the veil is thinner than we know. And president jones it was so good. He is very proud of me. He even told Hermana Smith that I am a very obedient dilligent missionary. He was also excited...

A note from Daddy Travis

 August 21, 2024 Good Morning Hermana! I am looking forward to hearing about your new area, your new apartment, and about your WANT LIST for the next package I am going to send you!  The cherry chip cookies you will absolutely love!!!   Remember the object of this week – REMEMBER LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE PAST!  A quick story for you – Mary and her mommy were going for a walk .  Some people they passed were frowning ( pause your reading this story and put on the biggest frown that you have) .  Mary asked Mommy, “Why are the people so sad?” Mommy said, “I don’t know, but maybe we can smile at them and help them be happy.” As they walked along, Mary saw a woman coming toward them. Mary smiled her biggest smile  (pause again and put on your biggest smile!)..  When the woman saw Mary’s happy face, she smiled back. Mary said, “It worked!” Mommy said, “When we choose to be happy, it helps others be happy too.”   These past weeks, I have needed your ...
