Caprice was made trainer to her new companion after having served only 3 short months in Lebanon, Indiana. She was feeling overwhelmed when we talked to her. She was feeling the burden of all the responsibilites that were once her own trainer's. She said there are so many things to remember! She messaged me later that day and felt so dissapointed because they were invited to dinner at a member's house about 30 miles away, and she realized on the way there that they didn't have enough miles left to use for the month for driving. She had to cancel their dinner appointment and felt bad that the members had made them dinner already and that she was not being a good trainer to her new companion (because she should not have made that mistake). I told her to stop being so hard on herself, she has to make mistakes to learn for the next time. We've been praying for her hard this week, and sending her messages to show her our support. It's times like that that I wish I was there to give her a hug!
She also experienced some dissapointments. A family they had been teaching had been avoiding them because they had heard some information that made them second guess the church. She also ran into Willow who likes to debate about everything without even having knowledge of the scriptures. They also have been teaching an amazing 11 year old girl who is soaking up the lessons and loves Jesus but she doesn't have any parental support, which makes it hard to get her to church or get further with the discussions.
Her district made a goal to have 100 new member discussions for the month of June! Caprice said they are constantly seeing miracles and people contact them to hear their messages in the coolest ways.
Caprice received her mission call to the Indiana Indianapolis mission on December 7, 2021. She was attending BYU-Idaho when the call was emailed to her, and she asked us to drive up to Rexburg to watch her open her mission call that night. I am so glad we could be there for her special moment! We had all of our extended family watch her open it over a ZOOM call, so it felt like everyone was right there supporting her. Caprice was so nervous to open it but had the biggest smile on her face as she read the letter. When she announced "Indiana Indianapolis Mission" the Gregory's all started cheering! Uncle Aaron is from Indian and has lots of family still living there, so he was pretty excited for her! The funniest part is listening to Caprice trying to pronounce "Indianapolis"! She botched it pretty bad but covered it up like a pro haha. The feeling of happiness for her was overwhelming. Caprice felt instantly a love for Indiana and was so excited that s
