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 Robert? Well, it turns out he was a COMPLETE fake. He said he was 18, but when we Skyped him a man losing his hair answered the call. I immediately hung up and we found out that he was a fake investigator. It was kind of sad, but I am so thankful to have the gift of the Holy Ghost to warn me of danger and of bad situations. Don't worry though, we got it all figured out!

This week has reminded me how hard the adversary is trying to frustrate the work of the Lord. I know that as the Church gets stronger Satan will try harder, but I know that as we follow the commandments we have nothing to fear. Jesus Christ is our perfect example and has shown us the way to return to our Heavenly Father, but we need to have the gift of the Holy Ghost to help us stay on the straight and narrow path. This is part of the reason why I am out here is so that I can help people have the companionship of the Holy Ghost! We are all brothers and sisters and need to help each other return to our Father in Heaven.

I love sharing the gospel and being a servant of the Lord. I am so blessed to be out here!

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"

  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...
