Week 75: 4/8/2019: Who Let the Cows Out?!

 Conference weekend was amazing, and I hope everyone had the opportunity to listen to the teachings of our Savior Jesus Christ.


This week we were extremely busy, and that is the best way to be! We had some great lessons with Josh and he is so ready to be baptized! A miracle that happened with him this week is that he had been praying a lot about who he wanted to be a part of his baptism, and when we asked each person if they could come they ALL said yes! We weren't expecting that to happen because it will be Easter wekeend, but so many of them are changing their plans so they can make it to his baptism! Josh said that he has felt an overwhelming amount of love from the branch and is excited to become a member!

Another miracle happened on campus. Maybe not spiritual, but I still count it as a miracle 😉 Anyway, we had about 30 minutes to go contacting so we took a bus to main campus and when we got off the bus I saw A COW! We didn't know, but this week was AG week at UGA! They had all sorts of animals, most of them I didn't care for, but the cow was a tender mercy. Our Heavenly Father wants us to have joy in all of our pursuits, and I believe this was one of those times!

I love Jesus Christ and I am grateful to wear His name every day. I know the gospel goes so much deeper than wearing a name tag, and as we continually follow the commandments His name will be marked in our hearts. This conference reminded me of the simplicity of the Lord's church, and of the importance of families. Everything we do should be for a greater purpose than ourselves.

I hope y'all have a great week! Lots of love

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...
