Week 24: 4/2/2018: Spoiler Alert: The Tomb was Empty

Hey y'all! I hope everyone had a great Easter and got the opportunity to watch general conference! 

This week started out by having interviews with President and Sister Marsh. I just love them! I was able to receive great council and know that my Heavenly Father is aware of me. When I was talking to Sister Marsh, we began talking about my 5th great grandma, Patty Bartlett Sessions. She was an incredible lady. Patty was an example to all. She was a faithful, diligent, and loving saint. This week I found a poem written by Eliza R. Snow for my 5th great grandma. It is a beautiful poem, and it explains an amazing lady. 

We had a cool service experience while tracting this week! We were knocking doors, and this lady answered. I just felt to ask if she needed service. She told us no, and that if she did she would of course pay us. We explained that we love service and we do it for free because that's what Jesus Christ would do. She let us in and we were able to reorganize her storage room and help her out a little bit. At the end of the day, she didn't want to learn more, but I was grateful to be able to serve her! It was a great blessings to be able to help her in some small way. 


On Saturday we got to spend time with our recent convert Gracie and her family. I absolutely love them! We watched conference and had an Easter egg hunt with them. It was so much fun ! 

Sunday we watched General Confererence and WOW! I am so thankful to know that this church is being led by a prophet of God. President Nelson receives direct revelation from God on how to lead and guide the church. When President Nelson announced that a temple would be built in Russia I got cold chills. I know the Lord is hastening His work, and He needs everyone of us to help Him do that. As the world becomes more corrupt, the members of the church will rise up to prepare the way of the Lord. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the same church that Jesus Christ established while on this earth. I am grateful for those who have come before me, and have paved the way for great things to happen! Instead of putting question marks at the end of everything the prophet says, put an exclamation mark and see how your life will be changed. I love this gospel, and I love our Savior Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. 

This week was great, and I am blessed to be in the Laurel Springs area! I hope everyone has an awesome day! Love y'all.

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 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...
