Week #24 - 6 Months As A Missionary

Me and my new companion Sister Merritt!

HELLO FRIENDS!!! Wowza this week was definitely super fun!! This week we had transfers and I am still here in Casa Grande, but I have a new companion! Her name is Sister Merritt and we are already best friends. She is super awesome. We teach really well together. Here are some miracles and fun times from the week:

So the day before Sister Merritt got here, she was at her church building in Mesa and all of a sudden the phone started ringing, like the old dinky wall phones that nobody uses anymore. So she kinda left it but then after it kept ringing, she felt SOOO prompted to answer it , so she did. And someone was actually on the other line and.... IT WAS SOMEONE FROM CASA GRANDE!!! That was super exciting. Then Sister Merritt came here and we called this lady and went and gave her a Book of Mormon. The coolest thing is that she only lives 3 minutes away from where we live right now. CRAZY!!

Green-eyed and blond missionaries!
Sister Merritt is from Wyoming. She is amazing!

This week we also talked with Shay more, and on Tuesday, we were talking with her and she told us that she was talking to her mom about how she's been meeting with us and reading the Book of Mormon with us, and her mom told her that she was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints... WHAT?? Super random and so we actually did find her records and she is indeed already a member, yet doesn't remember anything about The Church of Jesus Christ. Which then it all makes sense with how much she loves what we are teaching her. She just understands it all so well, since she has that gift of the holy ghost. So now we are just trying to help her remember that promise she made with God.

One thing our mission has been big on is working on facebook. So we did some of that this week. I joined this learning Portuguese page of facebook. Then a couple Brazilians requested to follow me, well actually a ton of Brazilians requested to follow me haha. One of them even messaged me and I got a little scared at first, but then the spirit told me to message him back so I did. He said he wants my help learning English, and in return, he will help me with Portuguese. So I sent him a church service that my mission has put together and told him it was people testifying of Jesus Christ in English so he can learn faster. AND HE WATCHED IT!! I forgot how loving and kind the Brazilians are. So that is one way I have been able to keep up my mission language. 

Transfers brought Sister Williams and my companion Sister Merritt--
I love all these sisters and am so glad I get to be with them!

I have loved this week! it's always a little different with changes, but I am doing well and I love my Savior and being a missionary for Him. I hope all of you have a great rest of your week. Try reaching out to someone over social media and see what happens!!
