Week #27 - HAPPY

I love being a missionary so much!!! Transfers were this week and I'm staying in College Station on A&M!!! I will be getting a new companion which is exciting and the fall semester starts in two weeks!!! 

We saw so many miracles, one of which is Alyssah wants to get baptized on September 8!!! Holy smokes she is so ready.... a little background on her, she was from the Church of Christ and was very set in her ways. Within 3 weeks she has been eating up the Book of Mormon! We send her multiple chapters and talks a day and she is constantly asking for more. She has had multiple spiritual experiences and is constantly looking for opportunities to share what she has learned. The other day she got to the lesson and said, "this is weird, but the other day I had an overwhelming desire to share all I have learned with my roommate." She also went shopping to buy modest clothes for church and then invited the cashier to church. She has also been sharing everything she is learning with her Mom and now her Mom's heart is softening towards the church. Needless to say it was a huge miracle that we met Alyssah. Alyssah's sister is a member and has been praying for a long time for her family to find the truth. When we started meeting with her, the sister and her husband's family prayed and fasted that the Lord would soften her heart and open her eyes and without a doubt He has done that. We are so excited for her. 

We also got to go to the temple this past week and holy cow I feel renewed. I love the temple so much and I love the feelings I have when I'm there. 

I am so thankful to be a missionary. I love my Savior Jesus Christ and the healing power that can come because of what He has done for me. Texas is my favorite place to be. 

Praying for y'all daily.  Love y'all and God bless!!!
