Whitewashing Odessa!

Hello Everyone!

Lots of exciting things happened this week. 

Tuesday we had a specialized sister training for all the sisters in the mission. We read from the scriptures and had a Q&A session. Right after the training, my companion and I found out that we were being transferred! We went back to our apartment, cancelled our appointments, and deep cleaned the apartment. We moved to Odessa on Wednesday! Whitewashing (when 2 missionaries come into an area) is a blast. We have to start everything from the beginning, and we've been working to find people to teach. 

Yesterday evening, Elder Anderson and Elder Zwic came to give a fireside to the Tampa stake. The closing hymn for the fireside was "I Know that My Redeemer Lives." It was a powerful reminder that our Savior lives, and because He lives, He is always there for us. 

Have a great week!

Hello Everyone!

It's been a somewhat crazy week. We helped with transfers and prepared a nearby area to whitewash. We packed our car pretty tight to get everything out of the Clearwater apartment. At transfers, we helped the new missionaries for the area to get ready to whitewash. It was really great to have an opportunity to help in a way we don't get to help every day.

On Thursday, we had a tornado in the area! Luckily, it only got us up about 15 minutes earlier than usual. We just waited it out. I don't think it was a very big one, because I haven't seen or heard of any damage.

We had three people confirmed in church yesterday. It was such a special experience. It was amazing to feel the Spirit in the chapel. They were all glowing! That evening, a woman flagged us down to pray with us after declining a few minutes earlier. The best part of being a missionary is seeing people love God and accept Jesus Christ in their lives.

Have a great week!

It's been 2 months!!!

Hello everyone!

It's been a great week! One of the highlights was General Conference. I loved having the opportunity to hear advice and encouragement from leaders. I had a lot of questions answered! I hope you all did too. 

It is so special that we have a prophet on the Earth today. We tried to share that with as many people as possible this week! We brought some of the Relief Society sisters out with us that we don't usually have the opportunity to teach with.

It's been raining a little more. We've taken it as an opportunity to learn to talk more to people in stores. Still shaky, but we're getting there!

Transfers are this week. I'll know whether I'll be leaving or staying sometime this afternoon. We also gained another companion for the next couple days!

Have a great week!
