Week 72: 3/18/2019: Training. . . Again?!

 What a CRAZY week! To start off, we got transfer calls last night. I will be staying in the area, and I will be getting TWO new companions. One is Sister Bronson who is so cute and the other we will be training! So crazy! I definitely did not think I would be training again, especially not my last transfer haha! I am excited though and I know great things will happen. 😊


I saw so many miracles this week. I know I say that every week, but it's because the Lord blesses us so much! One of the greatest miracles happened with an 18 year old named Robert. Friday night we got a call from a random number and they asked when our services were. This phone call turned out to be Robert. Robert is moving from Washington State to Athens in the next week or so, and his friend from school introduced him to the Church! Robert seemed excited to learn so we had a phone call lesson with him the next day since he is still in Washington. This was one of the most incredible lessons I have been apart of. Robert was crying and so were we. He said that he has always had a hole in his heart, but since learning about the church the hole has been filling up. Robert is elect and I can't wait to continue to teach him!

We also met with a girl named Elena. Elena has a friend in the branch who is so misisonary minded, and he had invited her to some activities awhile ago. Elena has since then made some friends in the branch and really wants to know more. We met with her for the first time yesterday and the lesson was great! Elena said she will join the church if she comes to know that is is true!

I know that Christ lives. This is His church and He is the only way we can be guided back to our Heavenly Father. I am so blessed to be serving a mission, and I know that I have been changed forever.

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 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 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...
