Weekly Update 49

-

 Hey Everyone!


You know you've been a missionary too long when you make bathroom breaks a proselyting activity. Lol. This week all three of us had to use the bathroom, VERY BAD! We decided to make the 30 minute drive home, but as we were driving we remembered that a friend missionaries in our district are teaching lives in this part of town in our area. This friend is resolved to be baptized into the ward she's been going to, because she doesn't want to come to the North Vernon ward. Anyway, needing to use the bathroom seemed like a normal and natural way to introduce ourselves to her (since she lives in our area). It was a great contact lol, maybe an inspired bathroom break? Don't know if we can change her mind, but at least some seeds were planted. <3

We had MLC, which was a long meeting, and a long drive lol. 

We also had a lesson with Patty. It's been a while since we've had a lesson. The update on the smoking...They haven't been smoking. Period. They literally just have no money to buy cigarettes. Which is such a hard position, but they haven't been smoking... We had a great lesson with Patty about studying the Book of Mormon. YEET! 

Lots of lessons. 

Every Sunday is crazy here. We start the missionary day an hour earlier at 9am, then we go to church, teach a lesson (that we didn't have a chance to have comp study to plan) in the second hour of church, then we teach another lesson to a different friend, then we have ward mcm, then this week we had stake mcm, which took all afternoon to travel, then member meal followed by a million lessons back to back right after. I'm surprised I make it to the end of the day, every single Sunday. Lol. 

We had 8 friends come to church though!!!!!!

Okay, that's all for this week.

Love,
Sister Cox

  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...
