I dont know how another week went by but im not sad about it! Such a good week in the life of a Blairsville missionary!
Tuesday:
We met with Teresa!! She is so prepared its incredible! The only downfall is she doesnt see her potential and how God wants her to progress in the gospel. She ia truly so amazing but doesn't give herself credit. We are meeting again this week and hopefully can talk about our divine potential! God wants us all to keep progressing so we can someday become like he is! Its such an amazing gift hes given us!
We also met with a guy we met working at chick fil a!! He contacted us after we gave him our card so that was pretty cool! Hes only 16 and LOVES religion! Wow he had lots of questions & hopefully we answered then correct lol! We gave him a book of mormon so pray he starts reading it!!
Wednesday:
We met with Bessy! Bessy is so funny, shes this little old lady who has been taught everything a bunch of times but still think her baptism counts. Lol! We read the book of mormon with her and she keeps her commitments to keep reading on her own so thats real good!
Thursday:
Zone Conference!! This was one of my favorite zone conferences! It was all about obedience and how blessings come when we are obedient. Something i love that was said was "if the apostles thought it was important enough to put it in our handbook it probably is" ive never thought about rules coming straight from Jesus, to the Apostles, to us! Pretty cool! Something else we did was mneumonics! Mneumonics are a way of memorizing by pictures! President Marsh has creared them for the Book of Mormon and also D&C! During zone conference we went through and started to memorize what it talks about in each of the chapters! Its a really weird concept but its crazy how well it works!
Friday: Exchanges! I went down to cumming & had such a good time! Its so fun going back to the city! We tracted, taught lessons, and ate with members! We even helped a old lady set up a dating account! So fun hahaha
Saturday:
We had lunch with one of our favorite members!! She isnt able to come to church because she is really weak and cant take the chance of getting sick! She is so sweet and takes way good care of us missionaries! The rest of the day was full of tracting in the cold hahaha but some people were nice so it was good haha
Sunday: ASHLEY AND CHRIS CAME TO CHURCH!!! ok best day ever!!! Ashley and Chris came to church and brought their THREE LITTLE kids!! Ahhhh I couldnt of been more happy! They are so prepared and its been so cool to see Gods hand as we teach them and watch them progress! It is all Him and I am lucky enough to see this miracle happen right before my eyes!! After church they texted us and told us they loved it and will definitely be back next week! I wish you all could meet them and be apart of this because its so incredible!!
I have loved studying come follow me for the Book of Mormon this year! I have already learned so many new things and want to invite you all, if you havent already, to START!! There is so many amazing and incredible things that we can learn from the Book of Mormon and something different everytime! I love being a missionary and im so thankful the Lord gave me the privilege to serve. In zone conference they had us think about what our missions mean to us and my mission is such a blessing to me. I get to experience Gods miracles everyday! There is no better place for me to be than on a mission :) awe i love missions with my entire heart!
