Week # 39. Mass------> New Hampshire

Hey yall!

Transfer news came out, I'm leaving!! I've been in Massachusetts for so long! Its gonna be weird to be in another state, but I'm super excited to be up in New Hampshire!! My companion and I have never been in the area before so its gonna be a wild ride for both of us haha

This past week was pretty wild because we taught a couple lessons I had never taught before haha the first was the Ten Commandments and the second was the Word of Wisdom. The ten commandments was pretty normal but what really hit me this time was the Word of Wisdom. I love the fact that if we follow the word of wisdom we will be blessed with strength. Direct cause and effect laws are my favorite haha but I know I've seen the blessings of follow it in my life. I might not be super fast when I run but at least I'm not super slow haha

Last week we figured I'd end of with a bang in the Portuguese area. So on exchanges, I had to take over the Portuguese area with someone else and teach an english class. It was so much fun! About half way through I realized I wasnt even worried about speaking, it was kinda just happening! Sure there were some words I was like "oh boy" but in total I felt pretty good about it haha I definitely had the Spirit with me because I dont think I alone could do that haha

Spiritual thought from this week: Don't forget to forgive others. Forgiving others is such an important part of repentance. Because if we don't forgive someone, we aren't allowing the Atonement to fully work in there lifes and we will be questioned about that on judgment day. I know Christs atonement is real. Every day I feel the effects. I hope during this week all of you can come a little bit closer to the Savior.

Dont forget to read the Book of Mormon and pray twice a day! Too many blessings and protection to miss out on!

Week # 84. Other cities & conference!

Image
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!

Image
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

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...
