Hi Everyone!

 

Sorry I didn't write last week, I ran out of time on Pday. 

 

These week was sweet. Lots of awkward moments 🤢 (Lol, our motto is "leave it in July".) But we also saw, a lot of miracles.

 

We had zone conference and I was asked like 2 days before to do a musical number, I only had one chance to practice. It wasn't sounding too good during the practice, but when I performed, it went a lot better. #Blessing of playing in faith. 

 

Facebook miracles are brewing, I posted about free cacti family portraits and it's had a great response, it starts such awesome conversations about people's families, and will lead into gospel conversations!

 

We helped a lady start her family history, and that was so neat! The spirit of Elijah was so strong as we talked, to see a connected family, is just so cool!!

 

Then one day last week, we're in a town at the far end of our area, that we rarely go to, and we go to knock on a lady's door. She doesn't answer so we start to drive away, and she comes out! We said hi and she invited us in. We had a good visit and an impromptu lesson. Woot!

 

THEN

 

We stop by the house of a family in our area book. They were moving that day. Like, the Dad told us he was just grabbing the last few things and would be headed to the new place. If we had come just one day later, it would have been too late. Instead, because we came at this inspired time, we got their new address and set up a time to meet on Sunday (IT WAS AN AWESOME LESSON BTW!!!) An important principle is taught here! God didn't forget about Johnathan's family! He knew the exact time we needed to get down there and visit. God's timing is perfect! 

 

THEN

 

We called a referral and they remembered they had signed up for it and were actually interested!!!

 

AND THEN

 

I was like, "let's go grab one more miracle before heading to Seymour" I was kinda kidding, but bro this one was awesome! We stopped by the house of a lady the sisters had knocked on. We shared a message, and she shared how she had seen God's hand in her life. It was so powerful. We had the chance to just listen mostly, and to feel compassion for this beloved daughter of God. Sister SilvaCaycedo shared a few verses from the Book of Mormon, and we could tell it really touched Diane. We gave her a copy of the Book of Mormon, but she had heard of it because her neighbor down the street is a member of the church and had mentioned it. Member missionaries' impact is priceless!!! We're going back to her house this week. 

 

That day left me in awe. God is in the details. 

 

Also went to church. That was awesome! I love going to church. 

 

Okay, that about sums up the week. Love you all!

  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...
