Week 47: 9/17/2018: Without Prayer, You Become Prey

 It has been a great week, and it just keeps getting better 😊


This week we were very busy, and had a lot of great things happen. We still have two people on track to get baptized which is awesome and we had three new people come to church yesterday! There are so many great things happening in the Gainesville area.

This morning as we went out to get groceries, there were a few men moving someone out of our complex. I'm the driver, so my companion has to back me every time we leave the apartment. As she was the backing the guys were making fun of us and asked if she was teaching me how to drive. Then he said, "Where did you get your license, CVS?" I was cracking up 🤣 Something so simple can makes someone's day!

We didn't have anything too crazy happen this week, but this upcoming week is packed full! We get to have interviews with President Marsh, ward missionary conference, and a mission conference/MLC with Elder Costa! I am so excited for this week!

I know The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is Christ's church. It is the same church He established while on this earth. If you have any doubts, turn to Heavenly Father and the Book of Mormon. My sister once said, " I wish people would stop searching Google for their testimonies and go to the Book of Mormon." I know when you turn to the Book of Mormon with real intent, you will undoubtedly receive a positive conformation. Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon by the power of God, and I will never deny that. Because of my mission, I have come to know who Jesus Christ truly is, and part of that is because of the Book of Mormon.

I hope y'all have a great week! Thank you for 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...
