Week 66: 1/28/2019: The Way, The Truth, and The Light

 Just an update on sisters wearing pants.. My life has never been better 🤣 biking in the winter is so much easier when you can actually wear pants haha! Just thought y'all would like to know!


Anyway, I had a big miracle this week that I wanted to share with y'all. Back in Gainesville, I got super close to a family. Their son Robbie was home for awhile because he is in college and was on Christmas break. We went over there every week and had great gospel conversations. Robbie is extremely smart and puts a lot of thought into the gospel. Robbie has a lot of questions and has been away from the Church for awhile. Fast forward a few weeks and I get the call to serve in UGA... where Robbie goes to school. Since I've been here we have worked with him and HE CAME TO CHURCH YESTERDAY! It made me so happy to see him there because I know he has an incredible testimony and that the gospel will change his life 😊

I am incredibly grateful for my Savior. I know that He loves me and knows me inside and out. I've gone through a lot the past few weeks (as does everyone), but I have felt Him give me strength. I know that he can give eaxh and every one of you strength as well. I am so grateful to have the knowledge of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints because without it I would be lost. The faith we have needs to be in Him. He is the way, the truth, and the light. Just as Peter was counseled, we need to have faith in Jesus Christ and keep our sights on Him.

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...
