Week 59: 12/10/2018: Amen

 Hey y'all! It's going to be a short email this week beacuse we have been suoer busy today, but I am doing good!


This is the last full week before transfers, and I will probably get transferred. So sad, but we never know. With that being said, my address will probably change so be on the lookout for that!

On Sunday I had an amazing moment watching a family we've been working with for awhile come to church. They are a less active, part member family, and I just adore them! The whole family came and to see them walk through the doors of the church just brought so much joy to my heart! I know that God softens hearts, and it's just a little bit easier during the Christmas season.

Due to bad weather and my recent convert getting sick, we did not end up going to the temple for her first time. I was a little bummed, but that day we were able to get a lot of work accomplished and see many miracles. One of those miracles included our investigator Glenda coming to church. Glenda is an other lady who LOVES Jesus Christ. She is always saying "amen" and "mmhm." Because she has trouble with her eye sight we got her a member ride who was also picking up another person on the way. It turns out that they all knew each other, and it made Glenda feel so much more comfortable! The world is so small!

I love serving a mission, and tomorrow I hit my 14 month mark. Thinking about real world stuff is a little weird, so I will just focus on the Lord's work haha! 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...
