Missionary Chronicles: We Love Atlanta Traffic...JK

Hola a todos! How was everyone's week? I hope it was full of miracles everyday that gave y'all the strength to keep moving forward! This week was another super busy one here for us! We did a whole lot of teaching and we've got some incredible new people were working with! Before I get into it, quick shout-out to one of my old companions, Hermana Flanary, who showed up at church yesterday and gave me the surprise of my life! I really wish someone had a video of that moment haha We met this guy named Jesús last Sunday (Easter) while walking around his apartment complex. He was drinking outside with his friends and we gave him an invitation to English Class and asked if he was interested in a message. He said he was so we set up an appointment on Thursday after our English Class. I was on exchanges that day, so Sister Hammond taught that lesson and this guy really is so prepared! We taught him again on Saturday Night and he explained to us that he and his friends never go outs...

Missionary Chronicles: Church Parking Lots Were Full

Hola a todos! How was everyone's week? I hope everyone had a spirit filled and uplifting Easter Yesterday! What a blessing it was to be able to focus on the Savior all week and grow closer to him as we did! This week was an amazing one here in Georgia! This was my second Easter here in Georgia but I was still super young in the mission last year when my first Easter rolled around. At that time I didn't really notice or understand these people enough to realize what a big role Easter plays here in the state of Georgia. People here in Georgia LOVE JESUS so much and it warms the heart of every missionary! Georgia is known for having "churches on every corner" and yesterday EVERY church parking lot was full!!! It really made me so happy! Even though majority of those people weren't attending our church, they were making an effort to learn and grow closer to Christ! So awesome!! We had a pretty awesome week as well! Majority of our week was spent our tracting and just ...

Hola a todos! How has this week been for everyone? I hope you've been able to see the good in each day! We've had a pretty good week here in Georgia! I'm pretty sure summer just isn't going to happen this hear because it's still in the 60s majority of the day lol! It's BEAUTIFUL!! We had exchanges this week and I stayed here in Magnolia with Sister Bulkley!! I know I say it all the time but she truly is one of my favorite people!! One of my favorite parts about being in leadership is how closely I get to work with younger missionaries! They have such a fire and such a strong desire to serve the Lord to their best ability! Every time I get to be with a younger missionary, I'm reminded of why I love this work so much!! We had some really cool teaching opportunities this week as well. On Saturday we were out visiting some.members who are starting to go in-active. One of the memebers wasn't home so we knocked on their neighbors door and met this guy named Sa...

Hola a todos! How was everyone's week! I hope it was amazing and that y'all LOVED General Conference as much as I did!! This week was really awesome! We taught a bunch, had Zone Conference, and that amazing General Conference!! We met with a family this week who has some relatives in the ward. They originally got contact with the church when they came to their nephews baptism! There names are Jocelyn and Carlos and they're so awesome!! We met with then and taught them the Plan of Salvation and they loved it so much! Come to find out that they've been reading reading Book of Mormon already and they are beginning to find that it's true!! Member references are the way to go!! On Wednesday we met with a lady named Karina, who Hermana Hammond found on exchanges a couple weeks ago! We also taught her the Plan of Salvation and she was so into it! She's a young mom with a 6 month old and a husband who has to work all the time. It was a super peaceful experience as we sh...
