Week 8: 12/11/2017: Two Months

Hey y'all! 

It's my two month mark today! Transfers are tomorrow, but because I am still training I will still be in Laurel Springs. I love it here, and I love my trainer! Its been a great week! 

Tuesday we got to go to the temple! It was awesome! When I first got my call it said that I would only get to go on my last day in the field, but President Marsh wants us to go more than that! President Marsh is really big on family history, and so we were able to give the youth a bunch of family names to do baptisms for! Oh yeah! I actually forgot my temple recommend... I was horrified. Anyway, it all worked out haha! The temple is so comforting, and I love being able to seek for answers while sitting in the Celestial Room. 

We had some really incredible miracles this week! While we were tracting we walked into a man who was working and unloading washer and dryers. We have had a goal to talk to literally everyone we see. We started talking to him and gave him our card, and then he asked for another one! WHAT?!no one ever asks for another card lol. He said he was going to give it to his friend. A day later we got a call from his friend! He said he wanted to know where he could find more about our church. We told him mormon.org, and then he told us he wanted to be taught! It was amazing! I know that when you put your focus on Jesus Christ and give it your all, you will be blessed. 

I have also put A LOT of groceries away ha! Recently we will go to the grocery store and put away groceries and carts for people. Then we tell them we are doing it for Light The World! It is awesome! We have met some really amazing people. I am so blessed to be with the people that I am! 

Another great thing that happened this week was the Sugar Hill Christmas concert. It was AMAZING! Honestly, it was like listening to the Mo Tab. There was a choir, flutes, pianos, and bells. I absolutely loved it. My mom would have loved it as well! It was so fun, but really uplifting. It was a great experience!

I am excited for Christmas, and I hope everyone has a merry Christmas! Thank you for the support and love! I am so blessed. Have a great week! I love you all.

Week 77: 4/29/2019: Mission Accomplished

Image
  This is the last weekly I will send as a full time missionary, and I couldn't have had a better end to my mission! My heart is full of gratitude for the opportunity that I have had to be a representative of Jesus Christ for the past year and a half. I have come to know Him in a personal way, and I love Him more than ever before. Serving a mission has been one of the greatest blessings in my life, and I have experienced some of my greatest joys out here. Serving a mission has been one of the greatest decisions I have ever made, and I will be forever grateful for my time here in the GANM! This week we got to go to the temple as a zone, and it is always great to go with a big group of missionaries. The Lord has put so much trust in us as missionaries, and I know that His work will continue to spread across the world. A few days later we got to go to the temple with Josh for his first time! It was one of the best temple trips I have ever experienced. We got to do baptisms for the dea...

Week 73: 3/25/2019: Trio #3

  I have two new companions now! This week has been a lot of fun, and I am excited to see what happens this transfer! We had 5 people at church yesterday! It's pretty amazing that we have a branch of about 50 people and 5 of those at church were non members that we are teaching. The Lord is truly blessing this area and so many great things are happening. We have some very solid people we are working with, and I can't wait to see them progress! This week we had a really good lesson with Josh. Every time we meet with Josh, he gets more and more excited for his baptism! I have loved being able to see Josh progress and see the changes he has made in his life. It's only been 13 weeks since I first met him, but the gospel has completely changed him. It's amazing! We are also teaching a girl named Elena. She is elect! She was introduced to the Church by her friend, and comes to church and every activity that the branch has. We hope to put her on date soon! Do y'all emember...

Week 74: 4/1/2019: "I've Got Something to Say"

Image
  Another great week here in Georgia! So many miracles keep happening in this area, and it makes me so grateful to be serving here at this time. Yesterday at church we had a great turn out! While listening to the testimonies, a guy I've never seen before walked up to the pulpit.. side note: the branch is a little ghetto and the microphone doesn't even work 🤣 but it looks nice lol. Anyway, the first thing this guy says is, "I'm not from this church, but I've got something to say." He then began to bear an incredibly strong testimony about family and guardian angels. The room was completely silent and the spirit was ever present. After sacrament meeting we went up and talked to him, and it turns out that he is dating one of the members in the branch! We set up a time to meet with him this week! Another miracle from this week happened with my guardian angel. Last Monday I got to talk to my dad which was great, and during our call I felt a strong impression to as...
