Week 36: 7/2/2018: Let the Spirit Pick the Date

 Wow. What a great week! 😊 I am starting to feel more comfortable in Level Creek, and I am grateful to be here. 


This week we had a lot of great things happen. On Tuesday we had district meeting and a doctor's appointment. I have loved my district this past transfer, and this week we have a combined district meeting so that should be fun! After our meeting we went to the doctor and... I got my boot off! 7 weeks was a long time in that thing, but I am glad to have it off. I have to wear a brace for awhile, but that's okay! 

My favorite day this week was by far Thursday! We had a dinner scheduled with Sister  Johnson from our ward, and it was so much fun! First, she took us to eat at a place called Tanners. Tanners is a place that serves chicken and their honey mustard was fantastic. Then, Sister Johnson took us to get roll up ice cream. That was so much fun and I was stuffed by the end of the night! 

After ice cream we had a lesson with our investigator Jared. Jared is a great guy and his love for the gospel continues to grow. Jared was put on date before I got here, but he wasn't scheduled to be baptized for months. My companions and I had talked about moving his date up and chose July 21st. During our lesson with Jared, I could feel the spirit so strong. I was trying to focus on Jared, but the spirit would not stop telling me to look at my calendar. At first I ignored the prompting(don't do that), but then I looked at my calendar and knew that August 4th was the day Jared needed to be baptized. While I testified to Jared, I could feel the spirit like never before and I committed him to be baptized on August 4th. He said yes! After the lesson he asked how we picked the date, and I told him we had not picked that date before but that the spirit told us. It was an a amazing experience! 

This week was filled with a lot of great experiences, and I love being able to share my experiences with others. Transfers are next week along with my 9 month mark.. crazy! I hope y'all have a great 4th of July. 

Lots of love

P.S- President Marsh gave me some great advice on why everyone should be Ute fans. In D&C 133:48 it says, " And the Lord shall be red in his apparel.." it doesn't say blue, but it says red. 😉

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...
