Be of Good Cheer

Well transfers are here and I am here to stay. We got transfers and it was crazy, absolutely bonkers!! My French companion is leaving me so no more French speaking for me the whole time. My new companion is coming to be an STL with me and I don't know how I feel about this transfer already. There is so much change and new people are being put into the visitor center.  I fell off my bike and it was terrible and I am still in a walking area. Wow life goes on!!  Well I am still happy about the part where I am a Sister Training leader and I get to go on so many exchanges with the other sisters. It is so much fun! To learn from them and To see how the mission work is going in other areas. I feel like this transfer parallel life in reality. We some time have to go through so much change which is natural to some and they are pretty excited about it but for me I am usually excited about the change that I want to happen. I didn't really want any change this transfer or fall off my ...

Two Weeks

Image
March 5th: This week I am going to try and keep it short and Sweet. So I wanted to start with a story about one of our investigators.  On a Tuesday my companion and I were about to leave for the day and start tracting so we decided that our daily goal for that day was to find a new investigator and put them on date for baptism. So after we set that goal we looked at each other and laughed a little but we said a prayer and although we laughed in our heart that was what we wanted to happen. So went about knocking until 12 noon and literally no one answered and we were disappointed and to make it worst we were walking the whole time so we were pretty exhausted. So we went back to our apartment for lunch and as we were eating lunch we checked our phone and we had some miss calls and a voicemail and a text message from a lady. The lady said she wants us to teach her daughter and that she wants her daughter baptized on the 3rd of March. So I read the text message and we l...

We are part of one big family

First and foremost, I am very grateful that I came to serve my mission is St.George Utah. The missionary work here is amazing. The members are a great support, the people we meet are either Anti-Mormon or have never heard about it or have heard it all an don't want anything to do with it. I love it down here. I would like to share two amazing experiences I had this week.   This week one of My investigator got baptized in Santa Clara Heights.  My companion Sister D and I found him when we were tracting. The first time he met us he said that we can try so many other missionaries have tried in the past. So we told him that we had hope that he can get baptized. We needed permission from the first presidency for him to be baptized. So we started teaching him and preparing him so that our Mission President can interview him and send a request to the first presidency. So what happen was that he was struggling with the word of wisdom by the time that we were done teachi...

Three Crazy Weeks

Image
A tous Bonjour ! So I know I haven't really written for 3 weeks now!. First and foremost Life has been super busy. Let's start with the First week I didn't write which was 3 weeks ago. We had a baptism of a 9 year old girl. Her name is B and her dad baptized her and it was super cool. Teaching her was a lot of fun and we had to simplify everything down so that she can understand the gospel. It was a good experience for me because teaching the gospel some time might be hard and simplifying it helps people to understand what type of teacher you are. Well the simply the better, no reason to make it complicated and confuse people. Well we met with her almost every single day and we were able to teach her everything so that she can be baptized within two weeks. Also it was the last week Sister G and I were together! 😂 My baby G grew up. It was a lot of fun training her and I remember our last p-day together we started it by watching the district video.  Week2  Alright...

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, first and  foremost, this year flew by too quickly and I can't believe it's a new year. Yay to 2018, it's a new beginning and it's time to at least make resolutions that we will strive to achieve or make them and forget about them. I can't even remember all the new year resolutions I made last year but I Remember that I wanted everything should go well so that I can head on my mission! Everything went super well and I left for my mission in May and now it's January 1st wow. It flew too quickly. On the bright side , I am happy with what I did in 2017, I made the savior, the center of my life and it made a huge difference on alot of things in my life. I love new beginnings and I will like to invite you all to think of the savior while your making your new year resolutions and the think about how you can include him in your daily life. I promise you that its going to be a great year. To new beginnings, it might be hard but when we set goals and p...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Image
Wow I can't believe it is Christmas already, How fast the year flew.  This week was super nice. We went to a baptism of a lady my old companion and I started teaching. She has been investigating the church for quite a while now and she is finally baptized and confirmed as of yesterday. We started teaching her but we had to transfer her records to the elders because she lives out of our area but goes to church in our area, well we had to stop poaching so we gave her to the elders.   Her baptism was super nice, it was all the people that have been fellowshipping her for a while that attended. So almost everyone that attended played a role in her life. She is such a caring lady, she is from New York and lives now in St. George.  Another thing we did is go on exchanges, so I was on exchanges in the Young Single Adult wards, it was super fun talking to people my own age. I feel like they could easily relate to you and listen to you. We found 2 new investigator...
