The One Where I Sang to Someone

-

 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 Santa, and got to do crafts with the primary kids. It was fun

Some hard things and what I learned from them:
• Leading the area is SO hard! Without Sister Seibold here, I don't have my little security net under me. I am the only one who knows the area right now and that is SCARY. Because i have to plan all our lessons based on what only I know about our friends. Its just hard lol. I am getting better at it and its only been 3 days. But its an adjustment. I just feel a little uneasy all the time and stressed. But it is getting a lot better already.
• I am not the best at teaching yet. We don't realize how hard it is to explain concepts that you have known your entire life to people who have no idea what it is. Its HARD. I try to simply teach, but it comes out just sounding dumb tbh. Its ok though. Study, prayer, and practice is a great recipe for success, so I am going to keep trying. 

Some funny things that made me laugh:
• We had a quick phone lesson with a lady that referred herself on social media. Before the phone lesson we tried to knock her door, but no one opened the door even though I heard the TV hurry and turn off after we knocked. She admitted to me after the lesson that she was home that day 🤣 She was just always told not to open the door for "mormons" so she got scared lollll. That was so funny. She promised that she will open the door for us from now on.
• We had a really REALLY awkward member dinner the other night. This couple is really awkward and quiet. They are just very shy. We ate dinner, went to the bathroom, and filled our waters in the span of 35 minutes. Like SO fast. We usually have an hour for dinner. Anyways... so when Sister Rasmussen was using the bathroom, somehow reverence was brought up in our very awkward conversation. And i started singing the song "reverently, quietly, softly sing the melody" right as Sister Rasmussen was walking out of the bathroom. She asked me as we walked out, "Was it really that awkward that you had to start singing to them?" That made me giggle. I actually don't know why I felt the need to start singing. But it was funny. So if anything it was for comedic relief. Because we needed that in there.


Drum roll please🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁Sister Rose time!!

Its Christmas time! So everyone go read Luke 2. The story of our Savior's birth. I am so grateful for the knowledge that we have about our Savior Jesus Christ. He is my personal Savior. I know that my Savior lives. I know that He carries all of my burdens so that i can live with my Heavenly Father. I know that I have a Heavenly Father that loves me, knows me, and wants me to live with Him again. That is why He sent His son to die for you and me. That is why He sent His son to take upon himself all my sins. Because He did this, we have Hope. Because He did this, we have Peace. Because He did this, we have Happiness. Because He did this, we can Live. I am so grateful for this season. I am so grateful for my Savior and my Heavenly Father. Don't forget the reason for the season as we celebrate Christmas this year!!

I love y'all,
Sister Rose

Hey yall!! Its been a good past couple weeks!! We are just workin hard and loving every second! Its been a good time. Let's get into it..... Some happy things and what I learned from them: • Our friend went from nervous to excited when she learned of her new best friend: the Holy Ghost! You don't realize, or maybe you just take for granted the incredible gift you have until a child opens your eyes. "Why are you so excited to be baptized Maite?" She replies: "Because then I won't be alone anymore." #precious • Our friend Alejandra is literally so precious! She is so ready to be baptized!! She's getting baptized this Saturday!! Yay! We taught her about fasting and she goes " Oh I actually learned about that yesterday at church and I decided to do that today!!" She had literally been fasting when we taught her about fasting! #presh • A guy that we had talked to so briefly and got his number didn't reply to us for a bit a week. He finally r...

  Hey yall! Another great work in Kingman. Sometimes I feel like I am not in America and this was one of those weeks. I love it! Let's get into it.... Some happy things and what I learned from them: • Our friend Linda is just THE best ever. She is so short, the top of her head literally comes to the bottom of my ribs. But she is just like our little grandma. I love her. Guess what!?! Her baptism day is upon us! Long awaited, but it is this Saturday and she is so so so excited!! She told us yesterday that she just feels so ready! She feels like she has done the work(which she for sure has) and she feels ready to make this covenant with God. That is what the Atonement of Jesus Christ does for you people!! It brings you confidence. Confidence in the Lord and confidence in your abilities through Jesus Christ!! • We had a lesson with a returning member and his fiancé, Shi. Shi said that she wants to learn more about baptism and work towards it!! Such a miracle! They have gone through a ...

She wants to be baptized but has not been able to come to church because she works on Sundays. We taught her the restoration yesterday and she ABSOLUTELY loved it!! She told us that she qas so grateful that she found the right church! She asked her boss last week for Sundays off and he let her know today that she can have an hour and a half off to go to church!!!! Ahhhhh we have been praying so hard for her yayyyy!!! • We have been trying to help thos part member household to feel loved and welcomed. But it has been hard to get to them. Yesterday we decided to heart attack their door and right notes and scriptures. So we did!! The non member husband texted us and thanked us for doing that because they had had a really hard day!! Ughhh so awesome!! They asmed us for scriptures and talk to read and listen to!! God is pre...
