MTC Week 2

Hey everyone! 
 

This week at the MTC seemed to fly by. It's been so crazy. Honestly I have a hard time remembering what we even did, the days just all blend together. But we were able to celebrate one of our elders' birthdays which was fun. We have all been playing volleyball a lot, and I basically carry my team. Haha just kidding, but I am getting better. 

 
On the more spiritual side of things, we were able to go and do sealings as a district which was so much fun. While I was there, my testimony of eternal families grew so so much. I just love the temple, also I was able to study Jesus Christ and His Atonement this past week, and my testimony has been strengthened and my love for Him has grown so much. I am so thankful for Him and His sacrifice for us, and I know that He loves us and can help us when we are having a hard time. 

 
My whole district leaves this week besides me and companion, because we are in the visitor's center and need some training for that. Even though the MTC has been stressful and hard, my district has really been the highlight of my time here. It's going to be a big change going from 12 to 2, but they are going to be great missionaries.

 
I love seeing all of your messages and hearing your words of encouragement! Until next week! 

 
Love,
Sister Willie

Chapter 66: Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope you all had a wonderful day!  We had transfers last week, and my new companion is Sister Hailstone! She is also from Utah, and she is literally so sweet. I have already loved serving with her and experiencing her kind and thoughtful spirit. I am excited to serve with her this transfer, and I know that we will see miracles. And another little fun fact is that this transfer is 7 weeks long, and it is sadly my last transfer which feels so unreal to say. But I am excited to work hard in Glendoveer with Sister Hailstone!  This week, we have been trying to meet with our friends so Sister Hailstone can get introduced to them. And we have had some really amazing lessons with them. We had a wonderful lesson with our friend Mary, and we were able to find out a few of her concerns. Then she came to church on Sunday with her son! It was such a miracle and I am excited to continue to teach her and her son about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  On Thursday...

Chapter 16: Saturday P-Day!

Hey everyone! I was at the Visitors' Center on Tuesday, so I have the rest of my P day today! Since it has been so long, I don't really remember what has happened, but I will share some highlights.  We have a new person that we are teaching! His name is Cooper and he is so cool! Sister Davis found him on exchanges so the first time I met him was at a scripture study group. He is interested in learning more, and we gave him a Book of Mormon!  Also, we stopped by our friend Brian's and we brought one of our members with us and they really hit it off! Hopefully, he will come to church now that he knows somebody. We are keeping our fingers crossed!  Another cool experience, we had a lesson with a super sweet older lady who is the mom of a member. She isn't interested in joining the church, but it was nice to talk with her and learn more about her beliefs. She said we could come back and visit again, so that is awesome!  Spiritual Thought: I am so excited we get to study ...

Chapter 61: Beaverton --> Gresham

Image
Hello everyone! I hope you have all had a great week! We had transfers this past week, so I had to say goodbye to all of our friends and ward members in Beaverton and Summerlake. It was bittersweet, but I am so grateful for all the relationships I have made serving in these two wonderful wards.  I am now serving in Gresham in the Glendoveer ward!! I am companions with Sister Webb! She is super awesome and I am really excited to serve with her. Gresham is on the opposite side of the mission from my last area, so it is really different. But I know that this is where the Lord needs me to be and I am looking forward to all the people I will meet and serve!  I have already been able to meet quite a few of our friends and have lessons with them. Our friend Mary is so sweet, and we were able to have a really good lesson with her about the sacrament and baptism. She has the desire to be baptized, so we are hoping to help her make her first covenant with God soon! We had two lessons wi...
