Newsletter Week 51

Hey Y'all!
How has it been! This week we pretty darn good:)
Hermana Bowman killed it at 8 week follow-up! I am so proud of her:) I
can't believe we are already half way through the second transfer of
training.. I swear she is like training me now:) she is incredible:)
haha
This week we got to go to temple tours with some of our favorite
people:) pictures are attached.
This week we had an awesome miracle going to visit a less
active/recent convert!
She disappeared soon after she was baptized and missionaries haven't
been able to find her since. Since I've been in the area, we have
stopped by her house while we have been in the area, never to have any
reply. This week Hermana Bowman said she wanted to go try by her house
again, I honestly felt a little reluctant, because I thought "I know
she won't answer.. she never does" but we went along with the faith
Hermana Bowman had and went. In the prayer we said before we left the
car, we asked the Lord to give us the faith to be able to find her
there. We got out of our car, walked over to her house and found her
out on her porch!!! It was really faith building to see what the lord
can do when you have just a little faith.. She has been missing for
like 9 months, but the Lord helped us find her:)
Thank you all so so so so much for all the love and support you have
sent me this past week.. I have felt more than blessed! I love my
mission so much! There is no where I rather be:) I love you all so
much and hope y'all have a great week:)

Hey y'all! Sorry like literally have no time..
But this week was good, thing picked up a lot faster:) so we are doing
great! I am so excited for conference this week, it will be great! I
invite you all to watch with a question in mind that you want
answered.
This week I was blessed with the opportunity to teach the gospel
principles class, and the subject was on obedience, which was great
because earlier this week I was reading the talk by president uchtdorf
called The Gift of Grace (conference May 2015) and it really hit me
about how we are obedient out of love for Jesus Christ! We cannot buy
our ticket to heaven out of our obedience, the grace of God is how we
get in. We are obedient because we love God and Jesus Christ. :) I
invite you all to read that talk! It was soo good:)
Well I love you all so much:) have a great day! And enjoy conference.

Ps One of our investigators is a professional makeup artist and she
did our make-up today.. That is why out make up is so... Make-upy (:

Newsletter Week 48

Hey yall! How isn't going?
This week has been so slow again! Like seriously the Lord is testing
our patience. The cancel bug spread. But we are determined to just
keep working as hard as we can and we know the miracles will come. But
it was funny, we would go knocking in the same neighborhood where we
have success and no one would answer the door, or those who did would
promptly tell us they weren't interested. But hey it's all good, our
investigator George is progressing super well towards his baptism. He
changed his work schedule so that he can come to church every Sunday
now:)
And we get to meet miriam(our recent convert) family this Friday! We
are super excited to meet them:) so life is good:) I love the mission,
and I love the lord:) we got transfer calls this week and I get to
stay here in louetta again! It will be my fourth transfer here so I am
pretty pumped:)
Oh and crazy news! So we have been working so hard to build up our
Ward and get it to the sacrament attendance goal of 180, well we
finally start getting it consistently and they split the ward! So now
louetta Ward is being split in half and half of them are leaving. :( I
am going to miss them tons!
Well I love yall! Have a great week(:

Hey yall! This week started out a little slower. But it sped up
towards the end:)
But I learned a good lesson, so I have been studying the Christ like
attributes in preach my gospel, and so at the beginning of his week I
was studying patience... And you know the saying about ask and ye
shall receive.. Well it was true. I decided to pray and ask Heavenly
Father for more patience. Well he definitely answered. That day nearly
all of our super solid appointments canceled, and the canceling bug
spread throughout the week. The baptism of Belzazar got canceled...
Let's just say this week was anything but expected.
But hey I am grateful for the many opportunities I had to practice my
patience this week(:
On the up side our 2 recent converts are doing great! :) I love them
so much and they are such strong members(: their testimony is
inspiring.
Belzazar just got a calling to help in the gospel principles class :)
And Miriam shared her testimony about the joys of sharing the gospel
with her family(:
This morning we went to go do Zumba with Miriam, and it was SOOO fun!
We were there for like 2.5 hours and I'm pretty sure I will not be
able to walk tomorrow! It was super intense:)
This transfer has flown by, I feel like it just started and we are
already on week 6..
I love the mission so much:) and I got to give a talk in sacrament
this week:) they called me an hour and a half before I had to be at
church and asked me to give it.. Haha but it was alright:) gotta love
the mission:)
Well have a great week yall! Love ya:)
