Last blog post

It's so insane to me that this week was my last full week as a missionary! I feel almost as though I have been and will be a full time missionary my whole life, and coming home is just a lie! But it's true! I'm so excited to see my family and friends again. At the same time, however, I'm so sad to leave Georgia, and all the amazing people I have come to know and love here.

Throughout my mission I have seen so many miracles. I have seen lives change as they come closer to Jesus Christ and learn more about Him and His gospel. I have seen myself change and grow in so many ways as well.

I am so grateful for the opportunity I have had to learn and grow on my mission. I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior. I love Him. I know that He died for me individually, and loves me infinitely. I know that this church is His church, and we have His gospel and teaching and priesthood on the earth today. What a blessing that is to all of us! It brings me so much peace and happiness to know! I know that God lives, and loves us. He has provided a perfect plan for us to return to Him, and no matter how many times we screw up, He will continue to love us and cheer us on.

I love you all, and I'm so grateful for all the support you have shown me on my mission. I have loved serving so much.

See you soon!

Hey!

This week was great, it just flew by so quickly! We saw so many miracles and tons of success this week.

We had lots of exchanges with the sisters in the zone this week, and I am so grateful for all of them and their amazing examples! On one exchange, I was able to go up to Murphy, which is in North Carolina, and that was such an adventure! It was beautiful up there, but the area is super different! The houses there are miles apart, and there are horses and cows everywhere! We were able to talk to lots of people though, and go downtown, which was so fun!

We also had interviews with our mission president this week. He gave me lots of great advice, I'm so grateful for him and for the revelation he receives for me and all the other missionaries serving here!

This is a random story as well, but yesterday while walking back go our apartment we found a little kitten! We took pics with it, obvs, it was just so cute. And we were able to give it to our neighbor who is going to find it a good home. So that's good haha.

But honestly this week was amazing, and as I have been reflecting on my mission and all the amazing experiences I have had, I have just been so overwhelmed with gratitude. I love this gospel and the people I am meeting, and I am so grateful to be able to serve the Lord in Georgia. 

I love you all

Hello everyone!

Sorry, it has been a few crazy busy weeks! We have been working so hard here and seeing so many miracles! 

One of the miracles we saw, was a couple weeks ago on Saturday we were contacting and met a dad carrying in groceries. He wasn't interested, but he went inside to get his son, and his son was very interested! He said he lived in San Antonio so we gave him a card and told him he could give us a call to be in contact with the missionaries there. We didn't know if we would hear from him again, but the next day he came to church! He will be here for the summer and we have been meeting with him since! He is doing awesome! 

This week we were also able to meet with Elder Robbins. He is in the presidency of the 70, and he gave us a really great devotional. He talked a lot about goals and planning and why that is so important in missionary work. 

We were also able to attend zone conference, which was amazing! We were able to hear testimonies from our new mission presidency, and the spirit was so strong. I am so grateful for them and for their service! 

Amazing things are still happening here, and I love being a missionary. Thank you all for your love and support!

Hello everyone!
This week it got super hot here, but I still absolutely love it! Also, the weather was crazy this Friday. We were at MLC and during a training the elders were giving, the wind and rain picked up, and the power went out! We finished out the meeting in the dark which was super strange and funny haha. Luckily, one elder had a flashlight and the emergency lights were on so it wasn't too dark.

Anyways, besides that, this week was pretty good! We tracted a lot and found quite a few new people to teach that we are really excited about!

We also had quite a few people make it to church! Yay! We were so excited and glad that they were able to make it and feel the spirit in the meeting. Overall, it was a great week, and I just feel so blessed that I am able to serve here! 

I love you all so much!

This week was awesome! It has been really rainy and humid and hot, so biking is an adventure but it has honestly been so much fun.

We had a lot of success this week, and talked to so many people. We found a new investigator named Christi, who is so prepared to hear the gospel. She has gone through a lot of trials, but she is so willing to listen and change and she soaks up all of the things we are teaching her. It is so great! 

This week we are going to the temple, so we have little time to email...but,
I love y'all tons!

Hello everyone! 

This Saturday I had the opportunity to go to the temple with Magaly, a recent convert in Riverside. She is so sweet and was so excited. It was amazing to see her again, and the spirit was so strong in the temple. She really enjoyed it. I am so grateful for temples and the spirit that they bring into our lives. I know that  as we go to the temple more frequently we will feel the spirit more abundantly in our lives and see so many blessings. Also, it was cool because I was able to bring 4 family names and do their work! 

Afterwards, we went out to eat with her and a member from the branch. I am so grateful for them and their friendship. I absolutely love all the people here and am so blessed to be serving in Georgia!

Anyways, this week was fantastic and I am so grateful that I was able to talk to my family! I love them so much!

Thank you for all of your support and love!
