Week #31 - WE ARE NOW IN PHASE 1: It Means We Can Meet Person-to-Person, sort-of

MONDAY, August 24, 2020 

Another great week here in the Lindsay 3rd ward!!! Me and Sister Griffiths get along SO WELL!! We always have a blast and a half. One thing we did this week is we decided to make a Facebook page for our area!! And we post pictures of us serving or service opportunities, inspirational quotes, pictures of members, and so much more!! So that's been fun!! 

Me and Sister Griffiths are apart of the service committee here and we are always trying to think of ways to serve others, and to have our mission try more with serving others, since that's a way we are able to get out of our house more. Buuuut this week we found out that... WE ARE NOW IN PHASE 1!!! Now I'll explain a little more.... 

So with missionary work progressing back to normal, we have phases we are going through to get there and Arizona missions have been in Pre-Phase one for a realllllyyyyy long time, ever since I've been here actually. BUT now we are in phase one so we can meet with people in person!! We can meet by invitations so we cant go tracting or street contacting. This week we went to some members house for dinner and wow it was weird to actually meet in person, but it felt so nice. We even had a lesson with a family in person too!! On Sunday we were able to have sacrament with an adorable young family, and they had a couple little girls and they wanted to take a cute picture with us!! 

Don't worry--our masks were only off to quickly snap this picture!

We have been doing some facebook finding as well, and we actually started teaching someone from facebook! Were starting out simple with her, but she seems to really enjoy talking to us :) 

Here's a funny experience from this week:

We were calling some people to say prayer with them that we found on Facebook, and we called this one lady who actually lives in the UK and next thing you know we find out she's a member and she's telling us her faith is really being tested right now. Then she adds us to this group chat with a couple other missionaries and random people and she sends us little inspirational quotes and messages everyday. It's super random but really kind. 

I restarted the Book of Mormon and man, I love that Book so much. I love reading it and gaining that knowledge from it. That's been a goal of mine for this next transfer, to be able to really understand the Book of Mormon!! 

I love you all so much thank you for all of your support!
