Week 28: 4/30/2018: Solicitors Will Be Shot!

 Hey y'all!


Another great week in Georgia 😊 Everything here is so green, and they have so many flowers! I love it! I hope everyone is doing great And had a good week!

My week started out with Zone P day last Monday. Our zone is really small now, but that's okay! We played some minute to win it games and had a good time. We also played volleyball and that was a blast!

On Tuesday we had a really cool tracting experience. We walked to an area close to us, and decided to knock doors on the right side of the street. Earlier that day our district made a goal to get inside and teach a lesson on our initial contact. So, we are walking up to this house, and they have a sign that says any solicitors will be shot. We aren't soliciting, but people think we are so we were a little scared 🤣 We knocked anyway! The lady opened the door and was so kind! She let us in to teach a lesson to her and her son. We didn't have a lesson in mind, but while we were in there we felt impressed to share a video about Jesus Christ. We tried showing the video, and it would not load. I decided that God wanted us to show her a different video, so we ended up playing a video about families. It was perfect! It talks about temples and the woman we met said the "Mormon churches" are the prettiest building she has ever seen. She wants us to come back and do family history with her! We can't wait!

The rest of the week was finding and teaching, like always haha! On Saturday we got to go to the park with our recent convert and her kids. Her daughter is Gracie that got baptized in January, and we are now teaching her son Ethan. It was such a fun day, and we were able to talk about the Holy Ghost with them. I love that family!

About 10 minutes ago on our way to email, we had  a moment of divine timing. We were in our apartment and I felt like we needed to leave right then. So we did, and as we were walking out, we saw a walker with wheels that didn't have anyone with it. Side note: there are a lot of older people in our complex, so many of them use walkers. Anyway, as we walked further we saw the sweet lady who said her walker had gotten away from her. As we helped her take her groceries to her place, she told us that the good Lord had sent us to her. I love sweet moments like that! 

I hope everyone has a great week! Lots of love.

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

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 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...
