Week 42: 8/13/2018: Miracles

 Hey y'all! What a great week it has been in Gainesville! We are working hard and finding a lot of success, so that makes me happy!


First off, I'm so happy my new niece Lena came into the world ❤ she is so cute! I know that the family is of God, and that He blessed us with our families for a reason. I am grateful for the amazing family I have because I learn so much from each one of them!

Sister King and I gave a training on extending baptismal invites. This can sound scary, but I know that this church has so much to offer and we should be telling everyone about it! We challenged our district to focus on extedning baptismal invites this week, and we took the challenge too! This week we found three sisters and we put them all on date for baptism on September 22nd! I am so excited for these cute girls because I know that being a member of the church will change their lives forever. We also met a little girl and her mom (who speaks mostly French), and the little girl, Isahella, Also accepted to be baptized! I know that baptism really is the first step towards our Heavenly Father.

We had an amazing week and I saw so many miracles! Some were big and some were small, but it reminded me how aware God is of each and every one of us. He loves us so much and I know that without a doubt. I love serving the Lord and helping others come unto Him. 

We got to go to the temple, and I had a great experience! I went into the temple with a question, and came out with it unanswered. I was a bit discouraged, but continued on. I began talking with President Johnson, and one of the first things he said to me answered my question. I know God hears and answers our prayers, in His time and in His way.

Today our zone and the Coal Mountain zone are having a softball tournament, and I am super excited! Sister King and I also made a 3 layer HOMEMADE cake and frosting. To be honest, it turned out better than I thought it would! Lol!

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...
