Week 51: 10/15/2018: 365 Days

 This week we had a lot of great things happen, and I saw a lot of miracles as well.


We have our investigator Alexis, and Satan is trying real hard to get her down. Her house flooded, she lost her job, she has major health problems, and some family issues. Alexis is going through so much, but continues to be faithful. I have learned a lot from her, and I am grateful for that. Satan does not want us to be happy, but if we just hold tight to the rod, he will have no power over us. We have to hold tighter and tighter as the Lord's coming grows closer, and as we do so, we will have nothing to fear. Because of the problems that have happened recently with Alexis, she does not have a baptismal date, but hopefully soon!

This week we have a mission conference with Elder Bednar! This is the first time an apostle has come to the mission in 3 years! Because of the natural disasters that have happened, Elder Bednar had to cancel all of his appointments, except for this one! It will be great to hear from him and to spend the day with him! We will also be combined with the Georgia Atlanta mission, which will be fun. This will be on Monday, so because of that, my p day will be on Tuesday next week instead of Monday.

While on exchanges this week, I saw a miracle happen. I went to Lilburn for the day, and while we were in an apartment complex, we tried stopping by a few potentials. We stopped by this lady named Francy. We knocked, no answer. As we were walking away we ran into her and she said sorry but she had no time to meet that night. We said okay, and tried another potential a few buildings down. As we were walking past Francy's building, she came out of her apartment and said she had a few minutes for us to come in! It was amazing to see how her heart had been softened and how she had the desire to learn more! Miracles happen every day!

Also, I hit my year mark this past week! Crazy! I have loved being in Georgia, and I am thankful I have 6 more months here!

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...
