Week 27: 4/23/18: It's Great Because it's True!

 This week has been eventful, that's for sure! Life in Laurel Springs is great!


We started out the week by becoming a new zone! The best news is that our mission now goes into North Carlolina! Just a little bit of North Carolina, but it's still so cool! I know that the Lord is hastening His work in the GANM.

We had a lot of interesting tracting experiences this week.. 🤣 some are not completely appropriate to share on my weekly, so y'all will just have to wait until I get home to hear it all. LoL. Let's just say, we saw A LOT more of some people than we wanted to see ha! Missions are so great! We also had some spiritual tracting experiences this week. The other day we were walking up to this lady's house, and she opened the door before we even knocked. She began to tell us that she thought she had heard the doorbell seconds before we were there. So crazy!

On Sunday we had a faith building experience, and it shows that God is very aware of us. Sister Holman and I woke up and were getting ready to go tracting, but our phone would not work. The screen went completely black and nothing would turn on. We prayed and then went tracting anyway. We knew that we could come home and our phone would be fixed, and that's exactly what happened. We went to turn it on and it worked like nothing had happened before. It was awesome! Relief Society on Sunday was also filled with the spirit. In class, we talked about devine design and how there are no such things as "coincidences". As the sisters shared their experiences with divine design, the spirit was so strong. The gospel is great! I love it ❤

We live in a complex with older people, and they are the sweetest! We met a guy named Richard and he is from Germany. The first time we met him Richard asked me what was so great about the Gospel and I said, "Because it's true." We saw him yesterday and Richard said, "Just tell everyone what you told me. It's great because it's true." So cute, and true!

I hope everyone has a great week, and remember that the Lord is in the details. 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 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...
