Miracle after miracle

 Y'all!! SO many miracles this week!! I hope everyone had a great week as well! If any of you had a missionary moment, I would absolutely love to hear about it! So send me an email! 

Miracles!!

-> So last week we got a random call from a guy named Alex. He said he just had some questions for us. We met at the church the next and this guy pulls out a paper and starts asking about the three Kingdoms of glory and Joseph Smith and what you have to do to go to the celestial kingdom. Also, just casually mentions he's started reading the Book of Mormon! What?!?! We were so so excited! He told us that when he felt like he needed to reach out and talk to us he saw two elders pass him in Target and knew for a fact , after that, that was what he needed to do! Alex was an answer to our prayers! God prepared Alex to meet with missionaries and to open his heart to learn about religion. I'm so grateful Heavenly Father hears our prayers and answers them, even if it's not how we imagined our answer. 

-> Later that same night we got another call from someone who said he wants to come to church and wants to learn more about faith. Seriously, God opened the windows of heaven and has blessed us so much all in one day! Sister Arnett and I were beyond excited to start teaching these two amazing people! 

-> We had our second lesson with Linda and I said "Linda, we may invite you to be baptized when we feel inspired to do so" she responded "well I may say yes"! 

Funny Story 

-> Sister Grover and I were trying to get a picture by this cool car in our apartment complex, but the sun was in our eyes so we were struggling a lil bit haha. This guy comes from no where and asks if we needed help. That was really embarrassing haha!

-> we made some cookies to deliver to some people and the supplies we had were quite inept for the job. Sister Arnett said "This is Elder quality"

-> we saw this older guy driving a golf cart so we say hey how's it going? He responds "im a Baptist" and continues driving! 

Please pray for

Danielle to have an open heart

Alex to continue learning

Linda to want to be baptized

Thank you for all your prayers!! They help so much!

 This week was a little tricky. We have basically decided that Evans is the Utah of Georgia. The neighborhoods are basically the same and everyone here goes to church (but not ours haha). So most people are not interested in hearing our message or even want to talk with us but when we do its the best!

- One day it was raining and we were on our way to a lesson with Danielle after a full day of rejection. We ran through the rain but got soaked anyway and when she opened the door we could tell she completely forgot we were coming  :((

- Moss hasn't been responding to us when we ask for a time to come by so that's been a bummer too. 

I've learned that there is opposition in all things. Experiencing the discouraging parts of missionary work makes the good parts all the more sweeter! 

Funny Story

》One of our lessons fell through so we decided to knock on a house across the street. Her garage door was open so we knew someone was home haha. We were almost to her front door when we heard her coming from the garage door! We panicked because we were in her blind spot and there was no away we could announce our presence without scaring her. It was either that or trying to hide haha. We walked out and said hi and we scared her pretty badly. She was actually really nice and wanted to hear what we had to say!

Miracles

》We ended up going to someone house we didn't even plan to visit that day and when we got there we saw John sitting on his porch! We said hi and after telling him what we do as missionaries, he said we could come back! 

》 Our last lesson with Linda was amazing! I'm not sure if I've mentioned her before. We've met just a couple of times. She loves President Nelson and that we have a prophet today! When she heard the first vision she was amazed and said "I believe what you are telling me is true"! Nobody has said that to me before!! It was an amazing experience, she has a true gift of discerning the Spirit. 

》Kami has been so close to baptism so many times but life and family keeps getting so busy so we haven't been able to meet with her this whole time! Yesterday we got a text from her dad that said, "we just need to make this happen!" WOOO! He's going to set a concrete time so we can meet weekly! An answer to our prayers!

Please pray for 

Kami

Rickell 

Linda 

Danielle  

Lesson of the week, look for the rainbow after rain 🌈😊

Happy Easter!

 Happy Easter! I hope you had a great one!

This week was exciting! Sister Arnett and I were lead to so many people that are prepared to receive the restored gospel! We are starting from square one in Evans basically so meeting six new people was exactly what we needed! 

We (more like the elders) had to change our tire to a spare because our PSI was being weird. And we couldn't get an appointment at firestone until today! So we were driving on a spare for a few days! 

□We met Rickell this week. He's met with missionaries before but got really busy and just lost contact so when we called asking if he was still interested.  Without hesitation he answered "Yes!" We are so excited to meet with him! 

□We have being trying to meet with Kami and her dad this week. She's 10 and her parents want her to be baptized but has a really busy schedule! Her lesson was canceled three times this week! 

□ And we met Moss this week too. He seemed excited to learn more but keeps canceling/postponing his lessons. So pray that we can meet with him this week! 

Funny moment:

Me and sister Arnett went to a nacho place for lunch and we got full plates of nachos. And I mean FULL. But like Champs, we finished our plates! 

Masters were this week! We were driving in Augusta and saw all these Golf Traffic signs directing people to the Masters! We saw the parking lot!! 

Transfers !!

 Hey y'all! It's good to be writing another email! ♡I hope everyone had a fantastic general conference weekend! Also, I wanted to say a quick shout out to Sophie, Gracee, Kennedy, and Carlie! Congrats on your mission calls! I am SO excited for you!! 

This week has been all over the place haha! I got transferred to Evans, Georgia! I'm just 30 min from my previous area, still in the same zone and district! Also, I'm training! I just barely finished my own training so I definitely feel inadequate to train someone else but as I have relied on my Heavenly Father I've already seen many miracles! 

Earlier this week I had some fun stuff happen. I got Bible bashed for the first time. We had a lesson with our friend we've met with a few times but this time she would barely let us start answering her question before she asks us another one and kept trying to prove us wrong. She was polite about it though, it wasn't an argument but she was definitely trying to trip us up.

I got to go to lunch with my previous Companion, Sister Peterson, and her family! It was so nice to see her again!

My new apartment has a beautiful view of the car washing station in our complex!! Seriously, Heavenly Father knows and is aware of each of His children! 

Miracles:

☆ we stopped by this one house and they weren't home but they answered through the doorbell and said to come by again later that night. So we did! Danielle answered the door and after we introduced ourselves she asked if she could have on of our pamphlets. I had JUST put a pamphlet about the restoration of the gospel in my bag right before we left to her house! I gave her one and she was so grateful! 

Please pray for

-> Danielle to find answers while reading the pamphlet and Book of Mormon 

-> Joanne to have a desire to learn more 

-> Kami to accept an invitation to be baptized! 

☆Amanda has been feeling well and her son Jimmy accepted the invitation to be baptized on April 22nd! Your prayers are really helping the work move forward!♡
