Best Friends in the Marvelous Montana, Wonderful Wyoming Mission.

My very first Companion on the mission will probably be one of my best friends forever. Sister Weir! two people with different backgrounds coming together with one purpose. Serving the lord. I struggled in the MTC, but with her help and the encouragement that she always gave me and the example she was to me she helped me realize that i can be a good missionary. Over time we got to know each other more and became best friends. She is the best!!

I am so grateful for Carli VanLeishout. I am grateful for the great example she set for me when i first got to Kalispell, Montana. Grateful for her love and kindness towards me. For making sure i knew everything i needed to know to be successful missionary. Because she was my first companion i look up to her more then anyone. She was my first  friend in the mission field and always will be one of my best friends. Thank you for all you have done!! I love you!

I am so Happy i got serve with  Sister Jensen for the short time that i did in Fairfield, Montana.  She too taught me a lot about how to be a great missionary. I learned a lot from her in that short time. Because i was only there for 3 weeks i don't remember a whole lot, but i do remember the good times we had and the love she showed towards me. I am so grateful for her and for the great example she is to me. I will always remember Sister Jensen. She too is one of my  best friends! I love you Sister Jensen.

Oh Sister Mace I love you!! the things i remember about Jillian Mace is her kindness towards EVERYONE!! she was so humble and was always willing to help. She taught me so many things by her example. Together we learned the importance of hard work and to trust in the lord. We learned that through our exact obedience the lord brings miracles. Our miracle and friend was Debora McAdams. I will never forget our good times in the best district ever. The Kalispell Pirates!!  She is my best friend forever!

I had the privilege to serve with Sister Rachelle Davidson. We served in Red Lodge Montana for 3 months. It started out being the hardest time of my mission, and ended up being my favorite part of the mission. I learned so much from Sister Davidson. Everyday she would make me laugh and i felt like i could be myself. We went places where no other missionaries had gone in a very long time. We met so many wonderful people. I will always remember sister davidson, and her random meowing. She is now one my best friends.


I had such a blast serving with Sister Reed in Billings, Montana. She showed so much love towards me and really made me feel special. I could also be myself around her. She was a great example when it came to missionary work. We had our tiffs but we were able to work it out and to forgive each other quickly. She is such a great missionary and i thank her for all she taught me. She had a lot of random deep doctrinal questions but as we talked about them we learned a lot from each other. Our testimonies were stronger. I love you sister reed and i will never forget you. You will always be my one of my best friends.

Sister Helu took Sister Reed's spot in Billings and she taught me so much! things that i will never forget. One thing that really stood out to me was faith.  She taught me that faith is more then just a knowledge, but it is a feeling as well. With faith anything is possible.With the faith we had we were then able to build our area especially Sky view ward.  And also we found those special souls (Georgia Wadman and Jennifer Langford) that the lord prepared for us to find an to be a part of their lives forever. I know that this is the lords work and we are instruments in his hands. I will always be grateful for Sister Helu. She too is one of my best friends here in the marvelous montana wonderful wyoming mission.

Zuster!!! Sister Nielson was a visa waiter that i got to train with Sister Helu in Billings. Zuster Nielson taught me that we can still laugh, have fun yet still work hard. Helped me to stay focused and to not loose that greenie fire. We were able to really connect with each other and to really get along. Our families knew each other and we had some of the same friends. In a way that made me feel closer and more connected. The lord knows for sure that we were meant to be companions. I will always remember Zuster Nielson and the good times we had. I love her and hope we can be friends FOREVER!!
My last area was Lovell Wyoming with with the Lovely Sister Clay!! Oh how she loved and served everyone. She taught me that  it is important to love everyone. I will for sure be a hugger after serving with her. I think that the christ like attribute that fits her is charity. The pure love of christ! that is sister clay!! what a wonderful kind an loving best friend she is. I love sister clay!

I also got the privledge of training again. I trained Sister Allison Wood from Fresno California. She was a really great companion! She was easy to get along with. We instantly connected as friends and contacted so many referrals!!! We worked hard learned from each other by example. She helped me understand the true meaning of the God head. She had such a strong unshakeable testimony! She is the sweetest person I know. I love her so much!!!
