October 26, 2020: How goes the lower 48?

 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 SO well. We are so similar!! I'm thankful of the opportunity to grow up in Oklahoma for the experiences it has given me to relate to others in Alaska. It's pretty amazing sometimes to see someone not from Utah really relate to people with experiences of faith and hardship. Aurora's mom invited us to her baby blessing this Sunday! We went and holy cow, it was the most beautiful blessing ever. One of the Elders was BIG crying. 

We went fishing a couple nights during contacting. All of the lakes are frozen over so E. Tingey bought some weighters to break the ice to catch some Salmon. They caught some with their hands! T'was a blast!

I ate a fresh Alaskan Crab this week! Bro. & Sis. Seims took us out to eat and I ate a steak + some crab. Wasn't too bad!

Look up the pioneers of Alaska for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They built their own church and temple!! Its super cool and unique. 

Alaskans are like mountain men TO THE MAX with off brand American everything, PLUS sketchy everything. 

Read Alma 17-20! Look for the word "Perhaps" and see how much faith he had. He's got BIG faith. He had faith in whatever God had in store for him. 

Rise to a new sense of Commitment,
