Week 13: 1/15/2018 Waffle Houseeee

Hey y'all! I hope everyone is having a great week! 

The week started out great! We got the car back on Sunday ( blessings ), which makes everything even better! While tracting this week, we found some really great people! One man we found is named Raman. We had a lesson with him, and we taught him about the Plan of Salvation while he taught us about the Hindu religion. It was really interesting! He is very nice, and we plan to meet with him again soon. 

We did a lot of tracting this week, but not a lot of people answered their doors. This one neighborhood in particular was a little scary. We got yelled at... A LOT, but that's part of the fun right? lol. One thing I have learned from this week is to love everyone no matter what their religious backround is. It can be hard to stand there and get yelled at, but Jesus Christ was the perfect example of patience, love, and charity. We should all strive to be like Him! 

We did a lot of planning for Gracie's baptism, and I am so excited for her! She is so sweet and will be an incredible member of the church. We had some really great lessons with Gracie along with some of our other investigators. On Friday we were able to watch President Monson's funeral services. I love that man! He really cared about individuals and helping them in anyway possible. We went to a ward correlation training and they talked about reaching out as Thomas S. Monson would. It was really cool! 

This week we have interviews with President Marsh, and we also get to have a mission wide conference! Originally we were supposed to have Elder Anderson of the 12 come and visit us, but because of the rearrangements of the apostles he will not be coming anymore. That is okay though because Elder Costa of the 70 is coming! He spoke in the April 2017 general conference. He is awesome! The conference will be the entire Georgia Atlanta North Mission and the Georgia Atlanta Mission. That will be a blast! 

I had a great week, and I can't wait to see what happens this week. Transfers are next week, and I hope to stay in Laurel Springs! I guess we will see! Thank you for the love and support! I love y'all!

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 77: 4/29/2019: Mission Accomplished

  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 71: 3/11/2019: Ghost Town

Image
  I love UGA! Go Dawgs! Serving on campus is a lot of fun.. until spring break happens. The campus becomes a ghost town and no one is home for days! Luckily, we have some sisters close to us that we will be staying with for a couple of days so we can continue to work and be productive. This week we had an awesome lesson with Robbie! We finally got to meet with him again! In the lesson, we talked about strengths and weaknesses. We talked about making our weaknesses become strengths through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. As we were talking, I realized that we have to know ourselves and what we want in order to become better. With that being said, we need to know ourselves before we can come to know who the Savior truly is. Then, we need to know the Savior before we can come to know our Father in Heaven. In John 8:19 it says, " If ye had known me, he should have known my Father also."  I know that Jesus Christ lives and that He is at the head of this work. I absolutely love bein...
