Week 39: 7/24/2018: Stars Hollow

 This week was FANTASTIC! Sister King and I had a lot of success and were able to teach a lot of new people. I hope everyone had a great week as well.


This week we went on exchanges with the SAS (special assignment sisters), and that was great! Sister Johnson came to Gainesville with me, and during the exchange we saw a lot of miracles. We were able to find new people to teach and had some spirit filled lessons. I learned a lot from Sister Johnson!

The rest of our week was filled with teaching appointments, which was awesome! Sister King and I have been able to bear testimony of the Book of Mormon a lot this week. Most people look at it as just another book, but don't take the time to read it. I know that as we let the power from those pages into our life, we will be changed for the better.

Sister King and I had a great Bible study with a less active teenager. He said he was having a hard time getting into the Bible, and I suggested that we read Job because I find it entertaining and I love learning from his example. As we read Job, the spirit was there, and it was so quiet and peaceful. I have not had a lesson like that in awhile, and I am grateful to have the Holy Ghost as a constant companion.

The other highlight of my week was going to a Gilmore Girls block party. In downtown Flowery Branch, they made the town look like Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls. As a district, we went to the event and did the BOM experiment. It was great!

This week is full of fun because I have zone conference, exchanges, and my birthday! I am excited! Thank you for all the support and 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

  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...
