New Beginnings

Hey Y'all!  

This week has been pretty awesome!!!  Sister Porter and I have been in a trio with Sister Evans. We are all in the same district, but Sister Evan's Companion finished her mission and went home.  Since this transfer was made into a 7 week transfer, it meant that Sister Evans was going to be Companion-less for a week.  So she joined us in Bonifay.  It has been an absolute BLAST!  I love trio life!  Sadly it is only lasting for a week.  Sister Porter is getting transferred to Jay Florida, and Sister Evans is remaining in Greenhead.  I am staying in Bonifay and will be joined with a brand new missionary!  I am so excited and feel very privileged to have the opportunity to train again. 

So this week was General Conference. I always love hearing from our dear prophet and apostles.  We are so blessed to have  the Gospel of Jesus Christ restored on the earth today with a living Prophet!  I know that he is chosen by the lord to lead and guide us. All of the messages in conference were wonderful.  I know that the speakers are truly inspired to speak on their specific topics.  The spirit definitely bore a special witness that what was shared in conference was true on completely inspired.  

This week was just awesome. We had really good lessons with all that we saw this week.  I absolutely love the people here in Bonifay.  I certainly am going to miss my dear sister porter though! The people in Bonifay will miss her like crazy! She is going to do great things in Jay.  

We had an awesome lesson on the Restoration with a Part Member family.  It was neat to see the spirit working within them.  They are such a sweet family.  

We also celebrated Sister Porter's 20th Birthday!  we went to waffle house for breakfast and had a good hong kong buffet dinner as well :)  Good times.  

We also had a very spiritual lesson with our recent convert, Mikayla.  She is just filled with the spirit!  We discussed the Plan of Salvation and how our families can be together forever.  That was a sweet moment when the spirit prompted us to promise her that if she continues to keep her covenants and live as an example, that her family will later become one with her in the church.   It was a beautiful moment.  

I just love being a missionary.  I am just so grateful that i have been given the opportunity to help others come unto Christ.  Its truly a privilege.  

Love y'all!  Have a blessed week!
