Always on our toes



Hello everyone!


this week i have really felt an emotional closeness with everyone. i love that i have a distinct unique relationship with every single missionary here, especially stage. i can't believe i used to not know these people that i now can't imagine my life without!!


as preparations for the nauvoo and british pageants have increased, we got to see the core cast perform in "our story goes on." it was beautiful and moving in a way that i wasn't expecting! it was all about how we are children of god and are connected to each other through the trials that we experience. it testified strongly of the importance of family. that's one of the biggest things that i've gained here in nauvoo is a testimony of the importance of family and i feel now that there is nothing more important than creating an environment for my future children in which they can thrive and discover god's hand in all things. seeing the core cast perform has given me a desire to perform for the church for the rest of my life! i can't wait to see what opportunities i will encounter as i strive to push myself and get out there to serve the lord!


I met another Japanese person this week! I got to remind him that although we are often separated from our loved ones in this life, we can be with them for eternity after this life because of the blessings of the temple.

this week i have strengthened my testimony in god's timing and that nothing is coincidence. my morning cast lingered longer than usual after our morning youth of zion set on the 4th of july, and because of that we were approached by a man that told us there was a group of temple missionaries that had been waiting for the band to come perform, but they never showed up, so we went in their place and sang for them. it was an incredible experience and everyone welcomed and thanked us with open arms and sent us on our way with cinnamon rolls. blessings <3 hahaha


there have been many injuries and illnesses recently and because of that we have all been on our toes with constant changes in choreography, role/cast/schedule switching, etc. the lord has blessed us with quick minds and an ability to think and plan ahead as we strive to keep everything at its best!

pageant opens tuesday!!!!!!!! i am so excited and nervous!!


love you all! remember that you are never unworthy of god's love and he is there for you so long as you come to him.

The Healing Gift of Tongues

GUYS THIS WEEK WAS AMAZING THE LORD ANSWERS PRAYERS the highlight of my week was definitely that I MET A LADY FROM JAPAN. I have been praying that i would be able to meet at least one person from japan and she happened to come to the promise on a day that i was performing and she bowed to the elders when she left the theatre, so elder contreres came right over to me and told me to talk to her. i was SO HAPPY to meet her and she teared up when she told me that she didn't expect that someone could make her feel at home here in nauvoo. she said it's really hard for her because she is the only member in her family and no one knows about the church in Japan so she can't really have experiences with church history or really be engulfed in the church. i told her that's what i love most about the church is that it's true everywhere you go and always feels like home. she told me she has a hard time understanding and connecting to the pioneers and i was able to tell her that ...

Star Status

Hello from your local celebrity?? being a young performing missionary in nauvoo is seriously amazing and we feel like celebrities. since we first got here, everyone waves to us when we pass or drive by, people know who we are when we forget our nametags or where the wrong one, and people cheer and make hearts at us when we drive by as well. when we drive to trail of hope we have to drive next to a huge crowd of people and it literally feels like we are celebrities arriving at our concert. we even received a package a couple weeks ago full of letters from a youth group to thank us for their experience here in nauvoo. this week i myself felt like a celebrity because especially last night after the promise and sunset i had random children running up to hug me and even waiting to meet me! specifically me! after sunset! sunset doesn't even have lead roles or anything, they just wanted to meet me for me!! and there was also another little girl named Eliza who remembered meeting me earlie...
