McKaylas Mission Blog: at the water! oh at the water! (Nashville tribute to the Redeemer soundtrack)

yup so we had a baptism this week!! kayla (9) and skye (12)

and it was amazing! they are so sweet and the spirit there was so strong to be honest tears were shed!

so this week has been just short of miraculous!! as we were starting to worry about our investigator pool dropping as kayla and skye get baptized we got two new awesome investigators!! escalator missionaries for the win!! (continuously moving up)

its crazy to watch what happens to the work as you do what the spirit prompts, really its great! also, its presidents day so we are emailing at an awesome members house!! just thought yall should know that as you go out and do fun things. I love being a missionary, even when things kinda get sad as people anti you or say that they are not interested in the greatest news ever, but then you also get to see some crazy miracles of people coming to Christ!!

its just awesome!!

sister sprouse and I are getting along great, really, our house right now is doing awesome, and so is our zone, we just support eachother a lot and it is great to see, we were playing speedball against another zone and one of there sisters put me in a fake headlock, and one of the elders in my zone yelled "no! let sister cordon go!" its awesome to see the comradeship that comes as we serve heavenly father, sister Allison and I have decided that since we only want to get married for temple blessings(#sanctifiedmissionariesaresanctified) for a while when we are both home we are just going to go live off the grid in the mountains its great, we have a plan and everything! (dog sledding, boating, and snowmobiling are included) the gospel of jesus Christ (faith unto repentance, baptism, recieveing the gift of the holy ghost and enduring to the end... yall should know this stuff I write about it enough) is so simple yet it is so powerful and it brings people together like really, I never though I would be besties with these older couples in my ward (the petersons who are letting us email at their house and the gillises who are just awesome I will talk about them in a second) but because we are all growing closer to Christ and working together we are buddies!! the gillises rock!! like you know csi Miami? yeah brother gillis was literally like horatio before that was even a thing, finding serial killers? brother gillis did it! connecting the dots of and finding who committed murders, yup he did it! throwing it down sassily when a woman cop was saying a crude joke? yup he walked In and said its sad when the world has changed so much that a woman talks like that and a man is offended, YUP HE WAS THROWING IT DOWN!! and that woman, ended up getting converted to the gospel and is now his awesome wife!! he also was a state attorney for murderers, drives like a boss, and is an awesome young mens president and works in the temple, and drives missionaries (aka me and my companion) to meetings sometimes. yup the people in granite mountain ward are dropping the mic! even in their member missionary work they have really taken to the challenge of reactivating the 70+% of the ward!! (also brother gillis is on time magazine cover a few years back :) ..)

so you guys probably want to hear a bit from me (although I do not know why...) I am doing well, the mission is now officially threatening us with ipads, saying we just need first presidency approval , so that is awesome, I am getting some rocking tan lines that would make any farmer jelous. so yeah I am doing well!

love you all!

sister, Hermana, sestra, or whatever floats your boat,cordon!

soo many birds!
