Chapter 3- He Was Lying On The Ground... Bloody, Haha

Hey everyone! This week has been crazy but so good. 
 

We were finally able to have a lesson with our friend Sean, and it was so amazing! We talked about prayer and the Book of Mormon. Then we invited him to come to church, and he said yes!!! And guess what, he actually came!!! And the talks given in sacrament meeting were amazing and exactly what he needed. Then he said that elders quorum went amazing too, and he would definitely be back next week! It is so exciting! 
 

Anyways, really quick, we went to have a lesson with some members, and they had the cutest little dog named Reggie. And he came and laid right next to me and I just pet him the whole time we were talking. It gave me a little piece of home, because one of our dogs used to lay next to me. 
 

Anyways, then on Friday, we had a zone training with Sister Botchway. She is the mission president's wife. We spent the whole time practicing how to invite people to be baptized, and she made the newest missionaries aka me, be the one to extend the invitation. It was definitely a learning experience haha. But the people we were role-playing with had the choice to say yes or no. And Sister Botchway was keeping track of how many people said yes to baptism on the board. But instead of writing out baptisms, she just wrote bappies which was so funny. Then I was able to have an interview with President Botchway, and it was so good! He is the best! 

 
Then on Saturday, we got to go to Stake President's council. It was so fun! Then right after we went to lunch with Sister Davis' cousin. Then we had to go back to the church to finish our interviews, so I got to sit with Sister Botchway. She has the cutest personality ever. She spoke at a conference earlier that day, and it was getting out while we were sitting there. And everybody came over to say hi, and her facial expressions were so funny. And she told us after that she was hoping to avoid all of these people as they got out of this conference. We were laughing so hard. 
 

On Sunday, I was able to give my family a tour of the Visitor's Center. Which was so much fun! It was so nice to talk about the temple, and walk them around.

 
Funny story, so our zone leaders texted us and asked if we could sew. We said yes, so we got to sew a hole in one of their pants. Then we were nervous that it looked bad, so we needed somebody to try them on. I volunteered as tribute, and guess what?! They fit perfectly and are so cute! I am tempted to keep them, but I won't, don't worry. It was just so funny lol. 

 
Anyways, little spiritual thought for you all. I invite all of you to find your favorite scripture about Jesus and memorize it, so you can always have it with you. I'm going to do this too, and I know it will help us have Jesus closer to us throughout our daily life. 

 
Here is the link to the video that explains the title of my email haha.

Chapter 66: Merry Christmas!

Image
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!

Image
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...
