There's No Place Like the Kansas Wichita Mission: The one where it is now 2023🥳🥳

Happy New Year!!

I hope that everyone had a fun and safe weekend! I can't believe that it is 2023. It feels like 2021 just started. But time flies when you are having fun.

This week was decent week. We were able to find quite a few people to teach. One of them is a 9 year old girl named Sariah. Everyone in her family is baptized but her. She told us yesterday that she wanted to get baptised. She is ready! So we are going to help her and we are really excited!!

It got warmer this week so we were able to go out more and talk to people. Everyone is still getting back from the holiday break so we haven't been able to meet with a lot of our friends. We are hoping that we will be able to meet with them more. We haven't been teaching as many lessons as we usually do.

On Friday, we canceled our exchange because Sister Mitchell was sick. But she still wanted to go out and talk to people. We were in a town just outside of junction city called Chapman. We were going to stop by one of our friend's house. We were going to decorate their door but the window was wide open so we decided to drive away. As we were driving down the street, there was a woman walking her dog on the side of the road. Sister Mitchell said we needed to go back and talk to her. We went back and pulled over and talked to her. Come to find out that she had just lost a family member and she is trying to find peace and seek God's help. We taught her part of the plan of salvation. And we are going to call her tomorrow! That was a big miracle from this week.

Spread the cheer!

I have a few new years resolutions. But the main one is to spend time in the temple in a few months. Power does come when we keep our Covenants. And I cannot wait to spend more time in the temple. But I made a goal that I can do right now. I want to finish the Doctrine and Covenants and finish reading all of the conference talks from this last year. I am almost done with April and then I will start on October. I've seen the big difference in my life doing this. Reading and applying the council of President Nelson is crucial. I know that he is a true prophet of God. He truly is a messenger from God here to help us navigate this mortal life. I know I wouldn't be able to survive without his guidance and council. I am beyond grateful that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is built upon the foundation of prophets and apostles.
