We reached 9 Months--the half way mark!!!

-

 Hi everyone! 

I can't believe it's been 9 months.
And there's nothing quite like it. To testify of Jesus Christ and to teach his doctrine not only changes the lives of those I'm teaching, but it is changing my life.
The friends I've made out here are unforgettable!
The experiences I've had, where I've grown closer to God are so sacred and special to me!
9 more months to go!

This week we were sitting at the park and some teens came up to us and asked if we like Jesus (which we do) :). They then gave US a passalong we had given them! Haha, so funny.

We worked on not Bashing. You can't tell someone the gospel is true, they have to learn it through the spirit.

 We had another awesome lesson with Ashley and her family. Also, met our new mission president! 

We also had one night stacked full of lessons, but then every single one of them was canceled. And it was raining. 

The next day we spent the night in the sketchy part of town and all our lessons worked out! We even got an extra one!

Some awesome lessons this week filled with the spirit. A few contacts that were definitely not. There's for sure a difference! 

I am so grateful for this gospel, and for my savior Jesus Christ!

Have a good week!

  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...
