Week 76: 4/15/2019: Sister Ping

 What an AMAZING week! The Lord keeps pouring out blessings upon Athens YSA, and I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity I have to be here at this time.


This week we got two more people on date to be baptized! One of them is Emily who will be baptized on the 27th and the other is Anderson who will be baptized in May! I am so excited I will be here to see Emily get baptized because we have been working with her a lot. She had a rough week and when we had our lesson she sat back and said, " Life would be a lot easier with the Gift of the Holy Ghost. I'm ready to be baptized." I almost started crying because I was just overwhelmed with happiness for her! The day she gets baptized we will go to the temple in the morning with Josh for the first time and have her baptism that night. Sounds like a perfect day to me!

Josh is ready to be baptized on the 20th! Every time we see him he has a big smile on his face and says how excited he is to become a member of the church! I am so proud of him and the progress he has made in the last 4 months. Josh has such a strong testimony and loves Jesus Christ so much!

I have a firm testimony in God's divine plan for each of us. I know that serving a mission in the GANM has changed my life and that I will continue to see blessings from it as life goes on. I love the people of Georgia, but most of all I love my Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ. I love this gospel, and I know it brings everlasting joy into our lives.

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...
