The Mission Begins in Indiana Part 1

-

 Alysha had an early morning start at 2 am as she got ready to board the MTC bus at 3 am to get to the airport to fly to Indiana Monday November 1st.  I was grateful for a picture sent to me by a random stranger of their group at the Salt Lake Airport so I at least knew she had made it to that point.  We didn't get anymore news until about 4 pm when she was able to contact us that she and all her luggage had arrived safely in Indiana.  We also received an email from her Mission President and his wife later that night confirming that she had made it okay and that they were all together at the mission home.  We received one other email that Alysha was in her first area of Westfield, Indiana with a new companion.  Now we have to wait because we don't know when her p-day is and when we will get to talk to her next.  We're grateful she made it to Indiana okay, but, we're a little sad that she is so far away!

  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...
