Sister Elly Rex: Anchorage Alaska Mission 2020-2022

  here is a Candy corn shortage in Alaska! Shout out to The Fisher family for sending me a sweet package with candy corn. Y'all are truly Angel's here on earth ;) This week our relief society held a Zumba class!! The instructor ain't no Lauri Gosney, BUT it was so nice to do some cardio to start the week off good.  Me and Sister Wilhite set Nadine and Trinity(her son) ON DATE FOR BAPTISM!! NOV 21ST!! They are so faithful and so ready to make their first step to becoming more like Jesus. SO HYPED.  [Ronee] has 3 weeks until her baptism! She came to church this week and the ward loved her. We served her by cleaning her house and I organized her kitchen. HEX YA it's never looked so good and clean. We taught [Louis] outside this week with Bro. Nugent because Sis. Nugent wasn't home. IT WAS FREEZING!  We served with the Willow Elders at a part member families house because they needed sisters to become friends with the teenage daughter [Aurora]. Me and Aurora hit it off ...

  Music videos, raking in the rain, F'real Frazzle Friday, Moose's Tooth Pizza, & SNOWWWWWW... YEAH it snowed... I woke up to the sisters screeching, ran to the window, and joined them. Later, my comp tried to get me interested in extended study but all I could think of was building a snowman so that's what we did. HEX YA. I named him Gerald.  Many of you all know that I have a strong testimony of Joy, Grace, and Hope. I never realized what I truly needed to endure this challenging time of life was PEACE!  “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). As we remember and follow Jesus Christ, we can truly have JOY. We can experience real, enduring PEACE throughout any circumstance. We can find HOPE in Jesus Christs words by reading his sweet words in the Book Of Mormon. If you feel lost, broken, confused, or just not feeling like your true self,...

  There was a donut sale! You know how sisters get when there's a sale! (I don't even like donuts.) It's insane how many people have 3+ Bush planes chilling in their yard. One day I'll come back for a joy ride.  Moose burgers galore! I may not like eating much meat but I'm always down for a bomb moose burger.  Look for the happy in the hard. Find joy by learning about Jesus Christ.  What is an angel? A light! A Hope! A Friend! A Leader! A Helper to our hearts!  Heavenly father created us to be here, right now with the people surrounding us to serve one another. To unite our differences and show kindness to another. We can unite our hearts as one and spread light and kindness to others around us. We can love others with the same love that the Savior has for us. [D&C 84:88] Jesus Christ is the most bright and pure angel. He loves you with a full love. He has an eternal love for each of us individually. No matter if we are in the light or the dark he is always ...

  Someone tell me why Justin Bieber released his new Christian Single the month I leave? Satan needs to chill a little bit with his temptations!  This week was full of ups and downs but zone conference and general conference was this week!  This week, I could the spirit was in every single lesson and meeting this week. We had 4 of our friends attend at least some of conference! Woohoo  Cat lovers- I'm so sorry but as of this week I am not a cat fan. [Ronee] who is on date has like 17 cats and I'm so wigged out about them now.  Zone conference had bomb food but that's unrelated. But I learned that President Nelson saves lives spiritually so he's basically Jesus's sidekick. Batman and Robin kinda vibes.  FRIENDS! Reach out to missionaries! Involve them in dinners with your non-member friends, TEXT THEM BACK, answer their calls! Missionary work is changing and we need YOUR help to bring people Joy. The Lord will bless you as you bless others. & if you don'...
