Home MTC comes to an End

-

 It has been a very interesting experience having Alysha here for Home MTC this past week.  She's had classes and study meetings most of the day so we have really only seen her for a few minutes here and there when she got a lunch break, dinner break and little 10 min. breaks.  So it's like she was here but not here.  Our favorite time of the day was at 9 pm each night when she was done and we got to do family scripture study and then got to hear about all the things she learned about that day and have her practice teaching us her lessons.  It's been fun to walk past her door and hear her talking and laughing and singing with her online missionary companion and other missionary's in her online district.  It truly has been a holy and sacred place this week.  She has one more day of home MTC on Monday and then Tuesday is a preparation day to get her packed up and ready to go to the actual MTC on Wednesday.  

For her P-Day today we were able to go one last time to the temple and it was truly an amazing and spiritual experience.  I am so grateful that most of the memories I will have of my last days with Alysha will be the experiences we have had in the temple.

I chose yellow for the yarn this week because we live in a light yellow house so this represents our house that has served as an extension of the MTC this past week.

Are we ready for week 2 when she will leave us for the next 18 months????--I'm not sure.  There will definitely be a flood of tears as we say goodbye for now.  

Ready or Not, Provo MTC here she comes for Week #2!

  Transfers have come. It's been an interesting week. We were able to go on exchanges which went crazy well! Sister Young and I ran into 90% Spanish speakers, who were all very friendly, and two invited us in! Between her broken Spanish and translation apps, we got a lot of referrals for the Spanish Elders! Haha.  Sister Kimmerle will be leaving to Fishers and I'll be staying in Westfield. My new companion will be Sister Hales. Also a member called and said her two sons want to be baptized so we're going to be teaching them soon! Talked with Axel over the phone, but we haven't been able to have a lesson yet. 😕 K thats all ❤ Sister Cox President and Sister Page with their favorite district.

Alysha Cox's LAST Mission Update!

  Hey Everyone!   I can't believe last week was my last week as a full time missionary. Let me tell you about my week and then I've got some final thoughts to wrap up this email series.    Last Monday we managed to squeeze 4 lessons into the brief time after pday. It was a busy week as we were helping a struggling friend and preparing another friend, Juan, for baptism. I had my departing interview with President Riding, which was so crazy! Basically this week was so busy, but it was awesome! Yesterday we were talking to people on the streets of Anderson, and we talked to several who weren't interested, but the last lady we talked to, it was so cool! She had just been praying to God for him to help, to give her something to believe he still cared about her. Then, we run into her and ask if we can share a scripture, I started reading a verse from Matthew, which turns out is the name of someone she's been struggling with. She just knew we were such a direct answer...
