Week 45

-

 Hi Everyone! 


This week was pretty sweet! We were at a gas station, and I had some pamphlets in my hand, and a guy standing in line ASKED for one! It was so sweet! We had a lil' conversation!

Also, I went on an exchange with Sister Thompson this week and it was so awesome! She is such an awesome missionary. I loved hearing about why she wanted to serve a mission, and just her love for the Lord and the gospel! It was just such an uplifting exchange for me! 

Nancy is chilling, she's sick, but we'll get to have another lesson soon. 

Kara is Amazing as always! 

Update on the Jessica's. One Jessica said she wasn't interested any more. Another Jessica hasn't responded to our contacts, and the other Jessica we had a great lesson with yesterday. We are best buds with her and her 12 and 6 year old boys!! 

We Got Transfer news, I'll be staying with Sister SilvaCaycedo and we'll be training a brand new missionary! So excited to be in a trio again! I'm excited to train too! 

Lots of ups and downs this week, that's kinda the missionary life I guess. But I discovered the joy of bullet Journaling during lunch and dinner hours. Haha. 

Here's a clip from a talk I studied and loved by President Nelson! 
"Two years ago, Sister Nelson and I visited Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, and Tahiti. Each of those island nations had experienced heavy rains for days. Members had fasted and prayed that their outdoor meetings would be protected from the rain.
In Samoa, Fiji, and Tahiti, just as the meetings began, the rain stopped. But in Tonga, the rain did not stop. Yet 13,000 faithful Saints came hours early to get a seat, waited patiently through a steady downpour, and then sat through a very wet two-hour meeting.
We saw vibrant faith at work among each of those islanders—faith sufficient to stop the rain and faith to persevere when the rain did not stop.
The mountains in our lives do not always move how or when we would like. But our faith will always propel us forward. Faith always increases our access to godly power.
Please know this: if everything and everyone else in the world whom you trust should fail, Jesus Christ and His Church will never fail you. The Lord never slumbers, nor does He sleep. He “is the same yesterday, today, and [tomorrow].” He will not forsake His covenants, His promises, or His love for His people. He works miracles today, and He will work miracles tomorrow."

I think that's about it for this week! Have a great 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...
