Here's a rhyme I accidentally said while bawling in my farewell testimony at MLC (Mission Leadership Conference).
"When all you see is the world in Black and White
Look through Christ's light
And the world will fill with color:,)"
Wow have I discovered so many colors on my mission. I'm so grateful for Christ's transformative love, perspective and light!
Also go listen to "Color" (not colour Canadians--aka Elder Gibb) by Ellie Holcomb! She is literally my fav Christian singer.
ALSO I GOT TO GO BACK TO ANDERSON--MY BABY AREA!!!!! Mounty and I picked up Sister Myers (my MTC comp) and Sister Arnett from there since a car rear ended them and totaled the car so Anderson is a temporary bike area now.... pray for them. It was SO TENDER to go to and area in my last transfer where I learned how to be a missionary in my first transfer AHHHAHAHAHHHHH!
Lots of fun mems at meetings this week...

Also I got gaslighted by our crazy recent convert lol. She gave me 3 box braids (I don't have the hair like black people sadly so lots of hair got ripped out rip lol) and I got tricked into "tipping" her with my $10 Chick Fil A card ahhhhhh. My comp just DIED laughing as she tried to teach a lesson to this woman. I quote, "Jesus is my fatha, Jesus is my brotha, Jesus is my GENDER." Anyway, call me boxer Freebs lol--so hilarious. I love her but definitely not going to her house with my hair down ever again or being gaslighted into giving her my precious Chick Fil A!
CASEY MY RECENT CONVERT FROM CONWAY GOT ENGAGED TO SHELDON! (He baptized her.) SO EXCITED--CUTEST PEOPLE EVER!
GERRY MY BESTIE CAME TO CHURCH! She is the sweetest fashionista bestie with Asperger's Syndrome ever! I love her sass and big heart! She gave me some of her jewelry and so I made her some earrings and a necklace charm<3 She even wants to come to the Relief Society craft night this week! Love love love her! We got her a priesthood blessing before church and she had the CUTEST testimony after it saying that it felt so familiar. She hadn't gotten one before but it felt like God was speaking to her soul and it was familiar. SO TENDER! I also braided her hair for church--so fun!
Went to a member meal in Cowpens (where the bloody Revolutionary War battle was) and the member had a road named after her--that queen Sister Courtney has raised that town from the ground up literally!
AHHHH I LOVE MISSIONARY WORK SO SO MUCH! THIS IS THE BEST PLACE EVER. SO MANY GOOD MIRACLES TO COME EEEEEEE:)
LOVE Y'ALLLLL <3
