Week 65: 1/21/2019: Biking in the Rain Brings Blessings

 This week I was able to see a lot of miracles, and I am very grateful for them.


One of those miracles was with our investigator Emily. This was my first time meeting her and she is adorable! She is going to school at UGA, and found the church through her grandma. Emily has been taking the lessons for awhile, and there has not been a lot of progress. We decided to take a more personal approach to hopefully see a miracle happen with her. In our lesson we talked about her ancestors and then moved onto the spirit world. We explained that her ancestors were not as happy as they could be and that they were not in spirit paradise but in spirit prison. Obviously this was a bold approach, but it worked! Emily is praying about a day to be baptized! She realized that she was the one who can help her loved ones feel the peace and joy that comes from the gospel.

The spirit world to me is such a beautiful part of the Plan of Salvation. God gives us chance after chance and wants us to learn as much as we possibly can. I know my family has been blessed because of the spirit world and having the opportunity to do temple work for our ancestors who have passed on.

This week we get to go to the temple and have interviews with President Marsh. I am so excited! I hope everyone has a blessed day and remembers how much their Heavenly Father loves them ❤ 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 71: 3/11/2019: Ghost Town

Image
  I love UGA! Go Dawgs! Serving on campus is a lot of fun.. until spring break happens. The campus becomes a ghost town and no one is home for days! Luckily, we have some sisters close to us that we will be staying with for a couple of days so we can continue to work and be productive. This week we had an awesome lesson with Robbie! We finally got to meet with him again! In the lesson, we talked about strengths and weaknesses. We talked about making our weaknesses become strengths through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. As we were talking, I realized that we have to know ourselves and what we want in order to become better. With that being said, we need to know ourselves before we can come to know who the Savior truly is. Then, we need to know the Savior before we can come to know our Father in Heaven. In John 8:19 it says, " If ye had known me, he should have known my Father also."  I know that Jesus Christ lives and that He is at the head of this work. I absolutely love bein...
