Week 54: 11/5/2018: It was a Spooktacular Week!

 This was the busiest week of my mission, but it was a lot of fun! This week we had the temple trip, and I loved it! Sister Willener could not come because the mission rule is you can only go quarterly, and she went with someone a few weeks earlier from our ward who speaks Spanish, so I had a member be my companion for the day. I love the temple because I always feel so much peace and love when I am there! I have felt my ancestors guiding me a lot lately, and I had a sacred experience in the temple this past week. I am thankful for my grandpa Guillory and having his hand in my life. 


The next day was Halloween, and I had such a great day! Sister Willener, the zone leaders, and I planned a party for the zone on Halloween day. We played games, had a piñata, and finished the night with a testimony meeting around the campfire. It was a lot of fun and it was great to hear testimonies from other missionaries in the zone.

We also had MLC this week and a few other meetings. To top it off, we had stake conference as well! Alexis, Song, and Gavin were able to come on Sunday and they seemed to like it. I got to keep Gavin occupied with snacks and coloring books haha!

I just love Alexis, Song, and Gavin, and I am excited for their baptism this weekend! I know that they are making a choice that will bless them throughout their lives. Being on a mission has helped me realize how blessed I am to be a member of the Church. There are a lot of people that are in spiritual darkness, and we as members can be the ones to bring them the light of the gospel. I love missionary work and I love my savior! 


I hope y'all have a great week! Next week is transfers, so we will see what happens! 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

Image
  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...
