Week 26: 4/16/2018

Hey y'all! 

It's been a busy week here in Laurel Springs, but that's how missionary work goes! 

This week we did a lot of finding, and have a lot of return appointments coming up this week! I love when people are open to learning new things, and are accepting of the great message we share. This week I had a moment where I realized just how important missionary work is. A member said that we are servants of the Lord, and knows we are doing what He wants us to do. I hadn't really thought of being a servant of the Lord, but I am grateful to be out here representing Him! 

This week, I was extremely clumsy. On Wednesday, our complex was having a party with a food truck and everything. Not to mention, the food truck was The Varsity! Anyway, we were able to help out at the party a little bit. The had food games, and classic cars. It was seriously so much fun. When the fun was over, we started cleaning up. I said I could take this table, but realized real quick how heavy it was. Let's just say, the table fell over and I went down with it 🤣 so embarrassing. That's one way to humble yourself lol. Then we went to our apartment, and I was moving a piece of glass when I sliced my finger open. Good thing it was the end of the night because who knows what else would have happened ha! 

One of the miracles we had this week(there are many miracles every day) was our investigator Jen came to church! I taught Jen when I first came out, but then we had to stop teaching her. Well, she came to church on Sunday! It was great to have her, Sarhm and Ashton all there! We also got news that the stake we are in is getting split, so there will be some changes coming up for sure! 

The end of the week was awesome because transfer calls came, and I am staying in Laurel Springs to finish training Sister Holman 😊 I am so happy to be here for another transfer! 

God is great, and He loves us all so much! Don't forget to immerse yourself I His word, and get to know Him on w different level. Actively living the Gospel takes faith, but when you have faith and act upon it, great things happen! 

Have a great week everyone! Love y'all so much!

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...
