Chapter 27: We Can Sleep On The Floor

Happy P-day everyone! This week has been such an adventure! 


We had Zone Conference on Wednesday, and it was in this really cool old chapel. It was built in the 19 somethings, and I was in awe when I first saw it. It reminds me of a murder mystery place, in a good way! The conference itself was also really really good! I love meeting with other missionaries and getting to hear from our mission president and his wife. The Spirit was so strong, and I left feeling uplifted and ready to face the world. 


On Friday, we went on exchanges! I stayed in our area and Hermana Squire came with me. We were able to get in contact with a friend who was being taught last year, and she said we could come back! Then we got a referral, which is when somebody fills out a form online saying they would like to meet with the missionaries. We called him, and he only spoke Spanish. So Hermana Squire was able to talk with him and give him the information for church! It was such a little miracle because I wouldn't have been able to understand or help him because I don't know Spanish.


The big adventure this past week is that we moved apartments! We had to pack all of our stuff and bring it to an apartment that is closer to our area. It was so crazy trying to get everything packed up, and we definitely went to bed later than we should have trying to pack everything. We finally got all of our stuff moved, but we don't have mattresses yet. So last night we all slept in the living room on the floor, and it was actually pretty comfortable. Also, the apartment we moved into used to be an elders apartment so there is so much random stuff in here. Including moldy fruit, Irish spring handsoap, an American flag on the ceiling, and golf balls in the fireplace. 


Spiritual Thought: I am so excited for Easter this week! We all have the opportunity to reflect on the Savior and His last week. I am so thankful for Him and His Atonement. I don't know where I would be without Him, and I love that I have the opportunity to share my testimony of Jesus Christ so often. I invite all of you to take some time this week to think about Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for each and every one of us. 


I love you all! Have an absolutely 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...
