Week 57: 11/26/2018: GA 2 NC

 I loved being able to witness so many miracles this week, and I know the Lord is not done!


Being in a trio has been such a blessing, and I love Sister Hoffman and Sister Nicosia so much! This week we had a lot of fun while tracting in the wind and rain, going to North Carolina, exchanges, and having a great thanksgiving day!

On Thanksgiving we had a great time visiting different families from the ward, and one family in particular. The Mcguigan family had us over for dinner, and it was a great experience. We had planned to eat with them at 4pm, but they sent us a text that we never got saying they were going to eat 2 hours later. We got there at 4, and the dinner was not ready, but of course we could not stay at their house that long. The Mcguigans kids and grandkids did not waste a minute to jump up from the table and begin cooking so we could eat! It was so sweet 😊

Along with that dinner, one of the daughters shared a special experience with us. Her name is Rachel and she was upstairs putting her baby to sleep, when she felt a different spirit enter the home. She didn't know we were in the house, but continued to feel a special spirit. She came down the stairs, saw us, and then went into the bathroom to cry. She said the spirit overwhelmed her, and she wanted to let us know that missionaries are truly set apart for their calling. How cool!

I also had a unique experience at church yesterday. I was having an off day, and thought that I was hiding it, but one of the members I'm close with noticed a difference in me. She asked if I was okay and I said I was alright and that was the end of the conversation. After church she came back up to me and told me she wasn't going to ask if I was okay, but that God told her she needed to talk to me. She said that Heavenly Father wanted me to know that He loves me and is aware of me. I had tears in my eyes bevause it meant so much to me to be reminded that He loves me individually, as well as everyone else.

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...
