Missionary Chronicles: The Hunt For The GANM Trove

Hola a todos!  I hope you all had fantastic weeks full of everyday miracles and happy moments! This week was super busy and we did a lot of amazing work! We did our first round of exchanges this week with the Milton/Web Bridge Sisters. Doing exchanges is one of my favorite parts about being a TL because I love getting to know these amazing missionaries I'm serving around. I stayed here in the area with Hermana McBlain and we brought Sister Bulkley here with us. Sister Bulkley has only been out for about 4 weeks so she has such a fire about her and she loves being a missionary! While we were on exchanges we taught Sammy and Yimmy again. On the particular day, Sammy had had a terrible day with the kids. She was stressed and overwhelmed and when we got there she just cried. We were able to comfort her and entertain her kids so Sammy could have a bit of a break. When Yimmy got home we taught them the Plan of Salvation again and they absolutely loved it! They are progressing so well and...

Hola a todos! How was everyone's week? I hope y'all had amazing opportunities and found ways to see the hand of the Lord each day! This week was super busy and super awesome! I'm excited to fill you guys in! We had Zone Conference this week which is always my favorite part of each transfer! It's awesome to gather as missionaries and be taught and uplifted by each other! This Conference, President put a huge emphasis on Setting Goals and Making Plans. It was awesome to hear his input and I'm excited to see the changes that will come from more thorough plans put forth by the missionaries. Our training as Zone Leadership went super well! We trained on the chapter about Christ-Like Attributes in PMG and how that can help us to elevate our decipleship. I also got to see Hermana Broederlow and Hermana Fitzhugh again, so of course we had to take a little family picture haha. We had an amazing lesson with Sammy and Jimmy this week! We taught them about the commandments beca...

Hola a todos! How are y'all doing? I hope y'all had a great week! We've been pretty busy here and I'm excited to fill y'all In! We had 16 people come to our English Class on Tuesday which is a new record for my misison! It was so awesome!! We did a lot of teaching this week and we had some pretty awesome experiences! On Friday night our Ward Mission Leader invited us over with a couple we're teaching named Jimmy and Sammy. I'm realizing now that I never told y'all about them haha. They are a young couple with two young kids. They recently moved here to the States and when they moved the bought the house of some members in our ward who were moving back to Chile. Well, these members left the house prepared with pictures of Jesus Christ all over, copies of the Book of Mormon on the living room table, Bible/Book of Mormon videos for the kids, and so much more. This made a huge impact on Sammy and Jimmy and they've been to church every Sunday since they m...

Buenas!! How was everyone's week? I hope it was a great one full of miracles! I've had an awesome week in this amazing new area and I'm so excited to fill y'all in! I'm now in the Magnolia Spanish Ward here in Duluth Georgia! Being in a Spanish Ward is so crazy because there are just so many people! It's like the amount of people in an English Ward but they're all Latino! Literally so much fun! The members are so awesome and they love the missionaries! There are now 9 missionaries in the ward and the members feed all of us every night! I haven't been fed this well my whole misison and I'm so here for it haha. Our English Class her actually pops off which is still so shocking to me! We had 12 people at our class on Tuesday and 4 on Thursday! The people who come to our English Class are so awesome! Most of them haven't been in thr States for very long so they have a very minimal knowledge of English. Teaching English Classes is one of the most fulf...
