Chapter 38: I'm Gonna Do A Flip Into The Font

Happy P-day everyone!! This week has been really hot and really busy. 


We had an amazing lesson with our friend Jan this week. She is super sweet, and already has a testimony of so many things. We were teaching her the Restoration, and it was incredible to see how much she already knew and agreed with. We had a wonderful discussion about prophets and the apostasy with her. She is so incredible! Also, she is reading the Book of Mormon! We gave her 3 Nephi 11 to read, and when we went over, she had already read up to 3 Nephi 18! It was so cool! She also came to church on Sunday and really loved the Relief Society lesson. It was about the Doctrine of Christ, and she really resonated with how repentance is changing to come closer to Jesus Christ. Jan is just so amazing! 


Yesterday, we had a really great lesson with Jimmy! We were able to talk about the Atonement of Jesus Christ and how he can apply it into his own life. We were able to help him make some small and simple goals that will help him overcome his struggles. He is so sweet, and he talks about how he wants to be baptized. He even said that when he gets baptized he wants to do a flip into the font! He is so funny and just so wonderful. Keep him in your prayers, and hopefully, he will be able to overcome these hard times that he is having. 


Spiritual Thought: I read a talk yesterday called Worthiness is not Flawlessness by Brad Wilcox. It is an absolutely incredible talk, and one of my favorite lines is: 


"God loves us as we are, but He also loves us too much to leave us this way." 


Our Heavenly Father loves us so much, but he wants us to continue to learn and to grow instead of being stagnant. Even though change is hard, He will be there with us every step of the way helping us to become better. 


I love you all! Have a fabulous 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...
