Hello friends and family! It has been quite the week let me tell y'all.
So I need to give a little background real quick. In our mission, we have quite a few initiatives and new things that President Marsh is trying out. One of those things is a quadship. So it's four people in one area and they split up and cover the same area. They are all companions technically so they can split different ways depending on how they feel God needs them. So surprise I'm in a quad now! We had an emergency transfer and we got Sister Trussell! She is from southern Mississippi. She was originally called to the Atlanta mission but when the Macon mission was dissolved, our mission took in a stake from the Atlanta mission so now she's in our mission. So fun. It has been quite the adventure honestly. We aren't sure exactly how to do everything but we are slowly figuring it out. We moved the beds so we have 2 people in each room.
It's been quite the adjustment so if any of y'all have experience in quads let me know lol.
Another initiative in our mission is to talk about the family. Our mission president made these family cards to hand out to people and they are really cool. He believes that using the family is the best way to talk to people because who doesn't love talking about the family.
We also have a big push on revelation. Which I love. We could not do this without that help from God. It's been amazing learning more about how to receive that help and how to use it with what we do.
We also went on exchanges this week. I went with one of the senior STLs and a sister from the Spanish branch near here. We went to Lilburn for the day. It was really fun! We had dinner with this super sweet old lady. We asked her if she likes to cook and she said no. So we said well thank you so much for doing it for us! And she says she didn't make any of it. It's all from Kroger Haha. It was really good though. Gotta love fried chicken. It was really fun being in Lilburn and learning from these other sisters and seeing what it's like to not be in a YSA haha.
We've had a lot of miracles this week. Things are really starting to look up. We found 5 news this week! Woot. And we had 2 people at church yesterday which was so exciting. We had Elena and Shania. Anddddd we got Elena a baptismal date! We are so pumped.
Things are really starting to pick up here because school starts again on the 14th. Woot woot. Also good news. Rush is going to be this week. We've been seeing all the sorority girls around getting ready and I'm so pumped for it.
We also met a pretty cool Baptist guy this week. We had a nice Bible bash with him.
We got some good southern rain this Sunday. It was comi ng down so hard we had to call someone for a ride because we camt bike in that. It was fun though. I like watching the rain. Just not biking in it.
We also had a branch dinner last night. It was so fun getting to know more of the people in the branch and they made some good food. Ot was some rice with some red beans in like a sauce. It was good. Love it.
The longer I'm here, the more I realize that I don't know. But everyday I learn so much more about this gospel and Jesus Christ and I love it.
I read this talk this week by Jeffrey R Holland and he said
"If we give our heart to God, if we love the Lord Jesus Christ, if we do the best we can to live the gospel, then tomorrow—and every other day—is ultimately going to be magnificent, even if we don’t always recognize it as such. Why? Because our Heavenly Father wants it to be! He wants to bless us. A rewarding, abundant, and eternal life is the very object of His merciful plan for His children! It is a plan predicated on the truth “that all things work together for good to them that love God.” So keep loving. Keep trying. Keep trusting. Keep believing. Keep growing. Heaven is cheering you on today, tomorrow, and forever."
Heavenly Father wants the absolute best for us. His whole plan is centered on our happiness. Men are that they might have joy! If we keep trying and doing the best we can, then He is going to bless us beyond anything we could imagine. God doesn't want us to fail and he's going to do what He can to help us succeed.
I really love this video so I encourage y'all to watch it and share it with someone you think would like it.
Thank y'all for all you do and keep living life to the fullest
All the blessings,
Sister Coleman
