Week 53: 10/29/2018: Go Tigers. . . I mean Dawgs!

 I had such a good week, and I hope all of you did too!


I saw the hand of the Lord helping us here in the Gainesville area, and I am so grateful for that. There were a lot of miracles that happened and continue to happen every day. One of those miracles happened at church yesterday. We had a great turn out for people at church, and two of those people were there for the first time. Maddie, our investigators friend, came yesterday and absolutely loved it! She asked for a Book of Mormon, and wants to learn more. We also had a member bring his 14 year old friend named Carter. Carter is super cool and loved learning about the priesthood. He is also going to do hurricane cleanup next week with the youth! How cool?! His first time at church and He is already that involved. We are teaching him for the first time tonight!

We also had a crazy experience with a lady named Shannon! Shannon is PREPARED. She called us saying that for awhile she has wanted to learn more, but was nervous to ask for help. We gave her a mini church tour, and she began telling us all of the things that she had learned on her own. Shannon is already halfway through the Book of Mormon, and believes that this is the path for her. It was nuts! I can't wait to work with her!

There have been a lot of big miracles occur, and I know that is because the Lord is hastening His work. Alexis, Song, and Gavin are getting baptized next week and are more than prepared. It will be the last week before Sister Willener goes home, which is so weird to say! She's taught me a lot that's for sure, and I am grateful for her!

I absolutely love being a servant of the Lord, and I love this gospel. I am grateful to be serving in the greatest mission on earth.

Have 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"

  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...
