The Adventures of Sister Guilott: Week #29 - Last Week in Casa Grande

Monday, August 10, 2020

Love these sisters I have been with for the past transfer and longer!

LETS TALK ABOUT MIRACLES!!! Holy cow this week was fantastic. We saw so many miracles!! We also found out about transfers today and I am leaving good ol' Casa Grande (which is very sad) and I am headed to San Tan, which is in Chandler!! I'll tell y'all more about it next week :) BUT here's some milagres from this week:

So we meet as our districts each week and we all decided on making specific goals, so me and Sister Merritt decided to be more specific with our goals. So we planned on havin 24 lessons... and because we made goals, we were able to have 29!! WOWZA it feels great to be able to talk to that many people about Jesus Christ and how to come closer to Him. But yeah... I guess goals help a lot haha!

We had a lesson with Shay and Brittney in person again and it is so nice to be able to teach in person. It makes a big difference and you feel a closer connection. But Shay texted us this week having some questions, and we wanted to answer with a scripture so we gave Shay a call and had her read this scripture to help her out, and she had just barely marked that scripture and was feeling the spirit so strongly and couldn't believe that we had chosen that scripture to share with her. The best part is that Sister Merritt had put in her Book of Mormon next to the scripture a couple weeks ago, "Share with Shay." So Shay now knows the Book of Mormon is true.

We had gotten 2 new referrals last week, and we finally had a lesson with them this week!! We talked all about the plan of salvation with them and they LOVED it!! We even went and dropped off a Book of Mormon to both of them. We have another lesson set up for this next week. But we were super excited to give them a Book of Mormon in person, and then we knock on their door and they come out and we were gonna talk with them for a second, then 2 killer chihuahuas came out so we left... it was pretty funny looking back on it now.

We have someone we are teaching named Jim, I've talked about him before but he kinda fell off of the face of the earth. But now he's interested again! We even had an in person lesson with him at the church building and taught him the plan of Salvation and he wants to be baptized so bad!! He just needs some help with some of the commandments. But Jim cant read too well, so then he can't feel the spirit through reading the Book of Mormon. Well we got him some Book of Mormon CDs and he was so excited and we used those to bribe him to come to church... AND HE DID!! The one speaker we had talked about everything Jim needed to hear. It was great.

So one thing we do is we ask all the leadership in our ward for people that we should contact, and our Bishop gave us a referral!! We were super stoked about that!

One thing that happened this week that was pretty crazy is that my sister Emily got married. It was definitely sad not being able to be there, but I was able to video chat during the reception!! It was super exciting! Mission blessings indeed.

I am so grateful to be here in Arizona. I still get sad not being in Brazil, but I know that this is where God needs me. And I am super excited to be going to Chandler!! Love you all so much. The gospel is true.
