Week 21-Transfer Week

-

 Hello Everyone!

Had another great lesson with Toneisha. She's super Sad that Sister Whiting is leaving. I'm sad about that too. I've learned so much from these two sisters I've been comps with!
After we had a lesson where a friend talked about a vision he'd had, I couldn't help but sit in aw in that dark car. We live in a day of miracles! There are many people who have expressed visions/miracles to me and I just can't even believe it! God continues to do his work! 
Indy weather is so crazy. One day it's 70 degrees. The next its 30. It literally changes every single day. 
We also were able to attend another baptism for the Indy YSA ward, for a guy named Steven. It was super cool!
Also we had a few lessons with people who just didn't have the softest hearts. I'm definitely learning this about the gospel. I cannot logic what I have learned and experienced into your head, no matter how much I may want to! I can answer questions, but a person has to have experiences for themselves, they have to have the faith to try it out, to pray and to actually open the scriptures and read. It's like the 10 virgins parable. 
*Updates on my peeps*
Toneisha
She came to church again! She didn't bring her friend, but maybe next time. She still wants to be baptized, so we'll do our best to help her in that! Lots of teaching to do. 
Daniel
He had a rough week and couldn't meet. He still wants to come back to the church. Hopefully sometime this next week we can work something out!
Derrick
Never met the guy until Saturday. We had a lesson, then he actually came to church on Sunday! So crazy! 
I know I know. Yall can't wait for me to reveal transfer fates. 
I'm going back to Eagle Creek and I'll be training a new missionary! So excited to be a trainer. Hopefully it goes well! I know my trainers have had a big impact on me!

  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...
