The Ups & Downs of Missionary Life Week 5 & 6

-

 Hey ya'll! Didn't email last p-day! Sorry but it was a crazy day! So I'll cover 2 weeks. Last week our furnace broke! But it's fixed and working now! Accidentally broke the word of Wisdom! But we've repented now! Had 2 fake referrals! But I'm almost over it now. We went to a relief society activity, and that was so powerful!! Wish our investigators could have came. Also, we called up some random numbers to try to share messages about Jesus Christ and found Chris! The miracle is that the second call/lesson I fumbled through, the miracle is that she still wanted to hear from us again! (God can use the weak and simple!) Then on the 3rd call with her, we talked about the Book of Mormon. We found out she lives in Florida, but she is excited to learn more. She called us this week to tell us that the Florida Elders brought her a copy of the BoM! I'm excited for her, but wish she was in Indy so we could teach her!

K For this week, we had zone conference! That was amazing. What a powerful spirit was there! 
We also met a lady named Christine that the missionaries before me have been working with! She is so sweet and has a great family! I'm so excited to work with her!
Sister Kimmerle and I did a little bit of Holiday decorating in our apartment!
We also got to get up early and teach early morning seminary for a day! That was fun, but early!
We also had some plans fall through that ended up being good! We were going to do some street contacting, then decided it was too cold and before we decided what to do instead, an investigator called and invited us to dinner. It was the best interaction we've had with her!
Then last night we were hunting down a referral, but couldn't find the house and ended up visiting some members and had a great little lesson with them! They were converts and had a powerful spirit about them! I loved that! It was good to meet some more members in the ward.
Okay, enjoy this email, you probably won't get a typed one next week. Way too much work yall!
Have a good Thanksgiving! Take some time to thank God for your blessings!

  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...
