Leaving Georgia

 

Week 75 - the last one

 Wow I cannot believe this is my last email. I never thought the day would actually come that I would leave Georgia. But it is here and I'm so sad and so excited. 

I wish I had words to explain how much these 18 months have meant to me. I am so beyond grateful to have had this opportunity. And grateful for the wonderful people I've met and the experiences I've had. I have never felt closer to my Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ. 

I'm so grateful for all of you that have supported me through these 18 months. Thank yall so much and I'm very excited to see yall soon. 

I've truly seen miracles happen throughout my mission and we had one yesterday. We had 2 wonderful ladies that we are working with come to church with us and bring their children as well. It felt so good to be sitting there in a packed bench listening to everyone share their testimonies. As well as our friend Ronnie who tuned in over zoom. Nothing brings more joy than sharing what you love with those you love! 

See yall in 2 days!

Week 74

 Another wonderful week here in beautiful Georgia 

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a great one even if it wasn't totally normal! We were so loved on Thanksgiving and got to spend time with a lot of members. So grateful for them. 

I am so grateful for the challenge that our prophet extended to each of us. Gratitude truly does heal hearts. As I focused this past week on gratitude I noticed so many things change in my life. It is easier to notice all the little things I'm grateful for, the spirit seems closer to me, and it has kept Christ at the forefront of my mind. How cool that 7 days of saying something you're grateful can have that kind of impact! Especially being able to express the things you're grateful for to Heavenly Father, who gave them all to us. 

It has been a great week of service. It really filled me with joy getting to do so much service for people this week. Especially since this is a time that they need it the most. I'm just really grateful to be a missionary and I never want to leave Georgia! 

Love y'all

Week 73

 Hey everyone! It has been a long but super great week! So heres the highlights

We had zone conference this week! Always so good. My favorite thing they talked about was keeping it simple. Because the gospel is simple! 

So at the end of zone conference, we get a call that all the fire sprinklers went off in our apartment and it was flooded... we got home as fast as we could and thankfully that was not what happened. Our fire sprinkler pipe burst so the hallway was soaked and the roof fell through. But all of our stuff was fine! So this week we've been having people in and out to fix the carpet and ceiling and pipe. That has been a tender mercy because we've been able to talk to each of them and share a little bit of the gospel with each of them! 

We've been able to talk to so many people this week in person and online. It has been so refreshing to get to share more with people.

The best part of the week was definitely President Nelson's message on Friday! I hope you all were able to watch that. It is so important for us to be grateful especially when things are hard. So I would encourage all of you to take his challenge and I know it will make you happier and bring you peace. 

Have the best week!

Week 72

 Hey everyone! A beautiful week out here in Georgia! I'm loving the 70-degree weather out here! 

This week has been a pretty good one! I've been not feeling super great this week so it's been hard to keep doing stuff but we pushed through and a lot if awesome things happened! And a wonderful member brought me some stuff that has helped me get feeling a little better.

This week we had exchanges with our TLs! They both came to our area and it was so fun! They're the best. 

With them, we got to go over and see our friend Pam! She's the sweetest lady that we have been doing service for a few weeks now. She has not been having a good year and so she didn't want to celebrate Christmas and tried to give us all her decorations. But we insisted that she needs to so we went over and put up some lights for her and decorated her Christmas tree. Nothing can lift spirits like the celebration of Jesus's birth. 

The biggest blessing of this week was that we were able to get in contact with a bunch of people that haven't been texting us back lately. We even got to meet with DeMarco! He's been reading the Book of Mormon and loving it! 

Just loving being able to share the gospel every day with those who need it! Have the best week!
