| I ❤️ Sister Hosman. She's doing wonderful things here in Georgia! |
First off, my verse last week was actually Revelation 3:20! The one in
Romans is great too but maybe too deep for my little brain haha.
It's transfers! Wednesday I go back to Lilburn for two seconds to drop
off Sister Gray to Sister Robinson and my new companion will be Sister
Tuitaea and we'll be here in Allatoona for another 7 week transfer.
Sister Tuitaea actually was who I replaced in Lilburn! It will be a
great experience to be together.
We went ice skating today with all the sisters in our Zone! It was so
fun!! Remember the girl that took our pictures in front of the Provo
temple before you dropped me off at the MTC? Well her name is Sister
Fuller and she was there and of course... Sister Hosman! It's Tammie's
birthday today so we had a member that was with us send her a picture
of us. Happy Birthday Tammie!!
The most amazing thing happened this week! During district meeting we
had a training on former investigators (people that stopped meeting
with us) and then we did some role plays for them. We did a role play
for a former investigator named Tyrone. He has been on date for
baptism before a few different times and has a testimony but health
concerns and a few other issues are holding him back. It was spiritual
and answered a lot of questions we had about him. The elders (Elder
Woodwell and his companions) had a cool experience where they both
thought of sharing the same scripture and it helped their testimony of
role plays. Ours too! The Elders in our ward handed us off a referral
they had received from Elders in Texas. We were excited about it and
felt we should see her after district meeting. While putting in the
address we found out it was on the same street as our former
investigator, Tyrone! If she wasn't home we knew we were meant to see
Tyrone! As we were pulling up we realized our referral lived in the
same home as Tyrone.... Wow! When we knocked on the door a woman
answered and had recognized us as being the missionaries that visit
her son and said "Tyrone isn't home, he is in the hospital.". We asked
her if her name was Helen and told her we were so sad to hear Tyrone
was in the hospital but that we were there to see her. She remembered
the two missionaries she met in Texas while on the bus back to
Georgia. We shared with her the scripture and video the elders had
shown us in the role play. She cried the entire time. She said it was
exactly what she needed and she had been praying for God to strengthen
her faith right before we knocked on the door. She couldn't help but
keep mentioning how thankful she was for those two young men in Texas
that sent us to her. She had been encouraging her son to meet with us
missionaries and now they are both excited to learn together. Every
little decision and inspiration we receive matters. I'm thankful for
missionaries all around me that follow those promptings. Heavenly
Father loves His children and His timing is perfect.
We sang "I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go" as our closing song in
sacrament meeting... I love that song. I pray every day that I can "go
where He wants me to go, say what He wants me to say, and be who He
wants me to be". Some days I get mad at myself for falling short
(that's satan FYI) but most days I see how much I've been strengthened
and stretched far beyond my own strength. I love the gospel of Jesus
Christ. I know it was restored through Joseph Smith and we have a
living prophet, Thomas S. Monson. What a comfort that is. I love
ya'll!!
All my heart,
❤️

| The Lee's (They were baptized at the end of September) gave me this plant right before I left Lilburn. It's called "The mother of millions". Look it up. It was just a skinny twig with two leaves when I brought it here and now look at it!! |
