Week 30: 5/14/2018: Hoping to "Heel" Soon

 This week was challenging, but good. We went to the foot doctor and I have to wear a boot for 4 weeks, and if it gets better then I am good to go and if not then I will get surgery. Normally I would be worried, but I know that it's in the Lord's hands, and that everything will happen the way that it is supposed to. I went from sandals to a boot real quick 🤣


Because of the boot we can't do as much as we normally do, but we are making the best out of the situation. It can be hard, but I am very blessed to be able to serve.. especially with Sister Holman! I just love her ❤ Anyway, this past week I have been working on memorizing scriptures. Our ward mission leader was talking about memorizing, and I told him that's something I can't do, but I took the challenge anyway. I have 13 scriptures memorized from this past week and a half, which is not a lot, but for me it is a big accomplishment. I know we are all blessed with gifts and talents, and some of those we have to find on our own. I am grateful for a Heavenly Father who wants us to succeed and become better. He is really always there for us.

Our investigator Jen is doing great! She came to church again, and I know she felt so much peace and love. I love watching the Gospel change lives, and I know it is doing just that for Jen. We got to hear from the bishop during the mother's day luncheon, and the spirit was so strong. I am thankful for mothers and all the mom's who have impacted my life. Especially my mom. I am so thankful I got to talk to her and my family on Mothers Day! I just love them! The best part was probably when the bed they were all sitting on broke 🤣 glad my family hasn't changed too much while I have been gone 😉 The crazy thing is the next time we talk I will be at my 14 month mark! Crazy, but so exciting!

The next few weeks will be challenging, but I know I will learn so much. Not every moment in your day will be perfect, but at the end of the day you can be comforted in knowing that the Church is true, Jesus Christ is always there for you, and God loves you very much. I hope y'all have a great week!

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...
