Week 65

Hey everyone!

This week was a great week! We have been busy busy and loving every minute of it! Sister Doxey loves to tract so we have been doing a lot of that! And we have been meeting a lot of really cool people that way too! 

We are teaching Rochelle and the Brown family still! And things seem to be going great for them! They are all planning on being baptized in December! So keep them in your prayers! They are some amazing people! We are also still teaching a lady named Donna- I don't know if I mentioned last week about how she was working on her prayers, but she gets so excited every time she prays. It reminds me every time how special it that we can say prayers and have the communication with our father in heaven! We are so loved by him!

So lately we have been going over to the Canterberry's house- a sure cool family in our ward- to read from the Book of Mormon with them. We are doing the 21 day challenge with them. Well last night Sister Canterberry pulled us aside after we read and she told us how grateful she was that we chose that family to read with them because she has already started to see how much happier they have been. And how they get excited to read as a family! 

Guys the Book of Mormon is so cool!!!! 

It seriously changes lives. Even those who are already members. So READ THE BOOK!!!!! Really test it out. Give it a try.. do it!!!!

I'm am also so excited for this week! I get to see the Williams!! And talk to Bill and Kathy!! AND meet one of Sister Doxey's recent converts! It will be a great time! I am looking forward to this week.

Also transfers are next week so stay tuned to see if I stay of if I go!! (Pray I stay) 

Much love!! Make good choices!!

Week 64

Hey everyone! 

This week seemed to FLY by! It was crazy! It was a good week full of learning though! 

On Tuesday we had Zone Conference, it was a good reminder about the Book of Mormon. There was also some pretty good quotes. "eyes up do the work" and "Let God fight your battles" 

All in all it was a good conference! It helped me and Sis. Doxey out a lot. 

On Wednesday and Thursday we had exchanges. I freakin love Sister Giles! That girl is too funny and a way good missionary! 

We had a super cool experience with fasting and praying this week! We have a lot going on but not a lot happening here and we wanted to change that. So we prayed to know what to do with the investigators we had and who to focus on. Some of our "solid" investigators actually told us that they wanted to slow down, another one was able to recieve personal revelation and things started to click in her head and so she is focusing on certain things to work on to improve. But the coolest thing is that there was a family who we taught last week and hadn't had contact with them this week, and they showed up to church! And LOVED it! and as a family are working on getting better and looking for a baptism date and praying about it! It was really cool to see how God was able to show us where our focus needs to be. (I actually don't know if that made any sense now but just know God answered our prayers)

Saturday was Sister Doxey's birthday and she wanted to tract for it... so that's exactly what we did.. we spent about 5 hours that day tracting.. She had a good time and we actually met a really cool lady out of it! 

It was a good week! Remember that God does answer our prayers. Sometimes we don't take the time to listen though.. So take a minute after you pray to be still and listen. 

As always a friendly reminder- Read the Book of Mormon! It's amazing and it's changed my life so I know it will change anyone's!! 

Love you all!!

Week 61

Hey everyone!

I am now in Long Beach Mississippi! It's the coolest! I am loving it! I am less than 2 miles from the ocean..so lets hope another hurricane doesn't come! My new companion is Sister Doxey! She is a sweetheart and hitting her 11 month mark TODAY! So that's exciting! She is a stellar missionary and a super hard worker! That girl isn't giving me anytime to breathe! It's great! We have a really awesome investigator name Rochelle! She is planning on getting baptized on November 4th! We are so excited for her about that! When I first met her I thought she was already a member! She is bringing the gospel to everyone she meets! It's been a blast getting to know her this week! I'm super looking forward to being able to work with her more!

Something SUPER AWESOME that happened this week! They reorganized the Slidell Louisiana Stake and so ELDER CHRISTOFFERSON of the Quorum of the 12 was here! The spirit he brought into the conference was incredible! Every single person the spoke talked about the Book of Mormon and the strength that it gives us. It's so true! The Book of Mormon is powerful and it can help us in so many ways. I have been able to strengthen my testimony and grow closer to my Savior and Father in Heaven by reading it! 

So I have been studying a few of teh recent conference talks this past week and one really stood out to me. It's called Do we Trust Him? Hard is Good- And I love this talk! Do we trust the Lord? Because he trusts us! And hard times and trials are a blessing. Sometimes we don't see it that way, I know that I definitely don't all the time. But those hard times help us and can make us better if we let them. One thing about this that i loved was that it said that hard was the constant. and if you think about it it really is, things will always be hard for us or can be hard for us. But the variable is how we react to that hard! hard is part of the plan. We just chose how we react to hard! Something good to ponder on this week! How will you react to hard?

Well I hope that you all have a great week! And don't forget to do the simple things like pray and read your scriptures. The simple things are what help us overcome out weaknesses! 

Love you!
