Chapter 13: New Transfer, Same Me

Hello everyone!


We had transfers this last week, and I'm staying in Lakeridge with Sister Davis. I was so stressed about transfers, but it was the most anticlimactic thing that ever happened. 


We went and did service for one of our members, and he gave each of us a pair of Nike Airs! They are kind of atrocious in my opinion, but they were a gift so I'm not complaining.


On Thursday, we went to go and visit this one guy that was in our area book/app, and he was really nice. But him and his wife are apparently Quakers, so that was interesting. We shared a scripture with them, but they said that they had found the church for them. 


Also, we went to visit this one member in our ward, and walked out of there with an elder berry tonic water and mango drink thing. It was so good, but now we have her cups in our apartment lol. 


We were able to get in contact with a less active member, and he was so sweet. He basically told us all the stuff he did when he was young and stupid, which was really interesting. He likes to talk with us when we go over, but he doesn't answer his phone or return our calls which is frustrating. But it's ok, we will keep talking to him. 


Spiritual Thought- I have been slowly reading Luke 2 as Christmas is coming up, and it has been such a wonderful experience to reflect on the birth of our Savior. I invite each of you to read it before Christmas, and I know that it will help you remember Jesus Christ more this Christmas season. 


Sorry this email was kind of short, but know that I love you all! Have a wonderful 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!

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...
