Hello everyone!!! This week was awesome as usual :) being a missionary is
the best! Seriously, I feel so lucky that every day I get to wake up and realize
that I get to spend the whole day serving my Heavenly Father! This week we had
some fun little experiences that have really strengthened my testimony!
This week Hermana Starke and I gave a training at District Meeting and we had a surprise... President Henrie came to our District Meeting. When we saw he was there our whole district turned to each other and panicked a little because when he comes it is a little stressful. We had an awesome District Meeting and our training made President laugh:). At the end of our meeting after President laughed, one of our District Leaders said, "Well good job guys, we were on our best behavior!!!"
This week we have really been buckling down with finishing
the lessons with Roberto:). He is progressing really well and is going to be
getting baptized this Saturday! Wahoo!!! This Sunday we went to church and Hna
Starke and I gave talks and did a musical number with our Ward Mission Leader!
It was crazy because it has been exactly a year today since my farewell talk. I
gave a talk on how we can be more like Ammon from the Book of Mormon and how we
are all part of the Lord’s Fold. I gave them ways that they can help to bring
back the sheep that are missing from the YSA fold.
We had an amazing 3rd hour lesson that our Branch President
and his wife gave about putting on the Whole Armor of God. The lesson really
hit home for me. We really need to be spiritually ready to go and keep going
even when we fall. I attached a link from the lesson that I want you to watch. Maybe some of
you have seen it before but watch it again. I love that in this video you can
see that WE CANNOT FAIL. We have the Lord on our side and he can never let us fail. Here is the link:

We go through trials to make us stronger and when the falls
come, we have someone right there to pick us up! I have a huge testimony that I
know we have a Loving Heavenly Father who really cares for us and wants us to
be happy! I hope you have an amazing week! Love you and Keep on Keepin on!

Mom Note: This week we were able to attend a Pioneer Trek with our son Parker. We were asked to come prepared with the name of a person we were going to trek for. I chose our cute missionary Hermana McKay Hadley. I experienced a wonderful moment as I participated in the "Women's Pull".
The Women's Pull is where the men walk to the top of the trail and only the women bring the loaded handcarts up. This represents the many men who died along the trail and the strong women who continued to bring their families by themselves. This is usually the hardest climb of the entire Trek. Our Women's Pull was 2 miles long with many hills at a 11% grade and took us 2 hours.
As I began the climb I looked up and noticed that the Women's Pull Trail was called,
"McKay Ridge". This was a sweet tender mercy from our Heavenly Father during my Trek experience seeing the name of who I was trekking for. <3

On Monday we were able to have a little conversation with McKay by emailing back and forth. This week our conversation was of course about our Trek experience. We wanted to share part of the email conversation that we had with McKay.
Stanford: Who is your Trail Boss?
McKay: Heavenly Father
Stanford: What is your handcart?
McKay: THE BOOK OF MORMON!!!!!
Stanford: When is your Women's Pull?
McKay: TODAY!!!!!
