Week # 30. Wind Chills!




Hello all you lovely people, how has the week been?

To start off, I'd recommend if at all possible, to not live anywhere near a wind chill. I was fine with the zero degree weather and all but that wind chill just took it up a whole another level haha Which resulted in President being concerned for everyone getting frostbite but I'm here with two thumbs still so I survived!

This week was pretty crazy. Elder Jones handed me the phone this one day and said "you're gonna call this member". I was feelin pretty bold that day so I signed up for the challenge andddd to my suprise it actually went well! I understood the lady and only had to ask Elder Jones a couple questions Haha He is basically my in person google translate haha

We had kind of a group study this week and it ended up not going as good as we wanted haha But we had two friends show up! And there we taught them about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A couple times on my mission I've felt the spirit testify so powerfully and last night was one of those nights. I was bearing my testimony and about had to grab a few tissues to get through it! If anyone is worried that the gospel isn't true, please grab a Book of Mormon and pray with your whole heart and I know you'll get the same feeling I got during that lesson!

This week I was reading in Alma 47 and came across this scripture
•••18 And it came to pass that Amalickiah caused that one of his servants should administer poison by degrees to Lehonti, that he died.
If you look at Amalickiah we can view him as a type of Satan. And what I think is interesting, is that Amalickiah didn't just kill Lehonti right up front. But instead it was "by degrees". I think if we apply that into our lives we need to be careful which steps we take in what directions because satan might be trying to lead us down the wrong path and we might not even know it. A frog will jump out of a hot pot of water but he will be cooked to death if the water starts out cold! I thought that was very interesting this week! Hope yall do too!

Well everyone I hope you continue to have great lives! Dont forget to pray every day and read the Book of Mormon. That will make your life great! I love you all so much!

(Taking a tip from the Legend Elder Freeze) What kind of stuff do you guys like to hear about each week? Then I can write stuff you'll all like haha)

Week # 84. Other cities & conference!

Hello Everyone! This week we had some good experiences so we can just hop right in!  We found that some earlier sisters had worked in a smaller city outside the main city and we decided that we we're gonna go out there and give it a go! I'll just say that was the best decision ever haha we basically got to knock doors for 5 hours straight to a bunch of people that were super willing to hear about Jesus. At one point we got to a house where this lady was washing clothes so we went up, introduced ourselves and asked if we could come back another day because she was busy and she goes, no no! Please sit down! I could never turn away representatives of Christ. My mind was blown!!! So we got to have a super amazing lesson with her right there At another door that we clapped, this older man of probably 80 years old life in him opened his window and we introduced ourselves and then he opened the front door and his son hurried to the door and was like "hey who are you guys!"

Week # 90. Weddings & New Friends!

Olááá Everyone!! We had some miracles this week!! First and foremost, our convert who got baptized two weeks ago, brought his whole family to church!! We were so proud of him!! We immediately went over and talked with them all and our convert goes "so let's mark some lessons right now, and let's have at least two lessons a week." I was so excited!! Not one but two lessons this week!! Then the coolest thing, we got to give him the priesthood :') It really made me remember of when I got it back at 12 and I had so many feelings!! This church is so true!! With the couple that's always so apt to change, we had a stressful week!! So we needed to take them into the city building with like 20 documents for EACH of them so we can get them married! Some how, by a miracle from God, they didnt have any problems!! It all went very smooth:) but then when they asked for my ID I whipped out my Utah Drivers license and they said that wasnt valid and I was like "are you ki...

Week # 88. Three Separate Beings

Image
Olá tudo mundo!! This week we taught a few more reinforcement lessons to our friends who are struggling with the word of wisdom, but these lessons were so good!! For one of our friends we talked about the vision of the tree of life. And when I shared what I thought, I talked about the verse that says: "And after they had tasted of the fruit they were ashamed, because of those that were scoffing at them; and they fell away into forbidden paths and were lost." So from that i talked about how it is the same with us! When we start to get a testimony of something, we learn that not following through with that thing is going down a forbidden path! And then that line "were lost". So SCARY! Basically I told him that now that he is gaining a testimony, he gets to have more blessings but live at a higher standard! And he said he is ready to stay off the Forbidden paths!! Then this week we started teaching a new couple!! Yall. I have never ever had anyone in my mission, pay at...
