Chapter 39: Roses And Croissants

Hey everyone! 


We got a referral this week from sister missionaries in New Jersey because their friend, Jenny, moved into our area. We set up a time to meet her, and she is so amazing! She was taught about the Gospel in New Jersey, and she knows that everything is true! She wants to get baptized in July, and she is just so amazing! Her testimony is so strong, and she is so in tune with the Spirit.


We went on exchanges this week, and I got to go with Sister Tatafu in their area. It was super fun, and we were able to have lessons with two of their friends! We were also able to meet some really nice people and have a really good conversation with them. I love being able to serve with so many wonderful missionaries and have some great experiences with them. 


This morning, Sister Williams and I went to the Rose Gardens with Elder and Sister Brooksby, the Visitors' Center directors. It was so beautiful and there were so many cool roses. I loved seeing all of the variety, and knowing that we are all different, but we are all children of God. They also introduced us to a little bakery called Paris Baguette, and it was so good! 


Spiritual Thought: This week I read Let God Prevail by President Nelson. It was such an amazing talk! I learned that we need to choose to let God prevail in our lives, and that we have to be open to His help. I would love to invite you all to read the talk this week, and I know that you will all find guidance and answers for your life. 


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...
