Week 49: 10/1/2018: Happy October!

 Transfers have come and gone! I will be staying in Gainesville with Sister Willener for the next 6 weeks! Woot! Woot! I am so excited because we have a lot of great things coming up this transfer, and I am beyond grateful to still be here!


This past week, we had quite a few people at church! Alexis and her daughter Song and son Gavin came as well! All three of them want to get baptized, so we will hopefully set up a date this week! I can't wait to see the changes that will occur as they continue to learn more about the Gospel. It was also amazing to have a family come to church who has not been since December! As they say there, I couldn't help but simple, knowing that church is where they needed to be. I know God sees our efforts, and as we try a little bit harder to follow Him, he will bless us.

While tracting this week, we had an interesting experience. Sister Willener and I had been knocking doors for awhile, and the whole time this cute cat was following us. Cute, but still not my favorite 🤣 if you know me, you know I'm not the craziest about animals. Anyway, we knocked on this door and the lady came out and began talking to us. We asked if the cat was hers and she said, "Finally! We found kittens yesterday and took them to the shelter, and this has to be the mom!" It was the mom, so we called animal control to come get Hazel( at this point I had named the cat lol ), and they said it would not take so very long. Well... it took a long time! We sat on the front porch with this lady trying to keep the cat close by, and had a great time! At the end of all this, we got a return appointment to see the lady again! Blessings!

Great things are happening here, and I love being in Georgia! I know The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the church that has the fullness of the gospel. The man who lives beneath us is super nice, and we got to talk to him for awhile the other day. I told him I absolutely love anything to do with space, and he told us how he is going to school to become an aerospace engineer. He asked if we could come back and talk more about space vs science, and we of course said yes! The next day, we woke up and were headed to the gym for exercise in the morning, and I looked up at the sky. It was still dark and the stars were out, and as I looked at the sky I just knew that this was from God. It was too much to just be happen chance, but instead, the creator of the universe made it that way. Don't forget to look at the details in everything!

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great week! Lots of 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...
