Sister Emma Rose - Nevada Las Vegas Mission

  HEY YALL!! Merry Christmas!! I hope you all are having a great Christmas and enjoying family time! Yay I just love Christmas. Its good, but hard being being away for Christmas. Lets get into my week.... Some happy things and what I learned from them: • We met the cutest grandma ever! She is so funny and honestly i could talk for hours with her. We taught her a few lessons and cleared up a lot of misconceptions that people have about the church. And then laughed and talked for a while. We call her like every other day and she rants and tells us about her life and I just love it hahaha. • We have been getting SO MUCH Christmas treats and goodies and gifts. Its practically coming out of our ears at this point. But it is so sweet! We love our ward!! • Tray, our recent convert, got caroled to by one of the families in our ward and he said that he will never forget it. He was so happy when he told us about it!! I want to go caroling and give treats to all the people when i get home, be...

  Hey y'all!! Its been a good one in Vegas! Nothing crazy happened. I call that a success. It's been a good time! So let's get into it...... Some happy things and what I learned from them: • We put the Lockhart family's oldest daughter on date for baptism!! She is so excited and loves the gospel sooo much! When I see these young kids accept and love the gospel so much. It really makes me realize how much I took the gospel for granted and growing up in a gospel centered home. Where my mom sang "Love at Home" everyday ahahha. I am #grateful. • Like I said last week. My trainer Sister Seibold went home, so that means a new comp for me! Sister Rasmussen is awesome! Great missionary and very fun and down to earth. We are gonna have a great transfer!! • We had our Sierra Ranch ward Christmas party on Saturday and it was so fun!! I love the ward I am serving in so much!! They are so fun and so generous. I just love them! We had the best tamales, got to take pics with...

  Hey y'all! Back at it again in North Las Vegas. Gonna be a quick one, because I don't have much time. But let's get into it.... Some happy things and what I learned from them: • Tray got baptized!! Tray is the dad of the family of 8! He loves the gospel so much and was so so prepared to be baptized. He said that all of the commandments that got has asked him to keep makes sense, because his Heavenly Father has given him so much!! That's just amazing and so true. Our Heavenly Father has given us so much, so truly anything that he asks of us to become more like Him is not asking too much. When you truly realize what He has given and done for you, anything that He asks is something you will do. • We had a miracle baptism on Monday!! We got a call on Sunday from Deepak who has been taught for 18 months and hasn't been able to be baptized because of backlash from family members. He told us " I want to be baptized tonight" we said, " Well how about tomorr...

  Hey yall!! Another week in sin city!! North Las Vegas is a wild place to be, but I am loving it!! Let's get into it.... Some happy things and what i learned from them: • The Miracle of Elyte: The other day we were knocking doors in an apartment building and i went into a building that I knew the person we were looking for didn't live. But i went into it anyway. Put walks this older lady and I ask her if she wants a Christmas message. She says not right now, but that we can come by tomorrow. So we come back the next day and a young girl opens the door. We tell her we are there for her grandma and she tells us that her grandma wasn't there today. And then she pauses and says " wait i have a lot of questions though. I was just baptized and i don't know anything about God or Jesus Christ. I literally know nothing. Can you teach me?" To that i said honey, that's my job. Just kidding i didn't say that, but that would have been funny. We tell her a little a...
