Week 51

-

 Hi everyone it's going to be a short one because I'm getting transferred and have to be packing today, but here are some key experiences in the week. 

 

On Saturday, In-between sessions we had a lesson with a friend who is very active in her faith (yay!😊) and was interested in what we believe. We invited her to read another chapter in the Book of Mormon and she was definitely hesitant. The Spirit whispered to me that I needed to bear my testimony to her. I was worried about pushing her too much by doing that, but I trusted in the spirit's guidance, and I bore my testimony that the Book of Mormon is true. I know it is! It is a book that has brought me close to God and helps me strengthen my relationship with him every day. I felt satisfied because I was able to bear my testimony to her. 

 

Also, remember that Bishop named Kevin from Indiana mentioned in Conference? He's not my bishop, but I know who he is. 🤣

 

I'm heading to Muncie, to the YSA ward at Ball State University tomorrow. I'm excited, but the last song in conference made me about to start bawling as the choir sung, God be with you till we meet again. Just like past areas, I have loved this one. I have loved the friends I have made, experiences I have had. I'm going to miss Sister Pope and Sister SilvaCaycedo a lot. It's so hard to say goodbye. No one warns you about how hard that is before you go on the mission.

 

There was so much that happened this week, but not enough time to write about it. 

 

I know God lives! His work continues. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is HIS Church. The prophets and apostles who lead and guide this church are men of God. 

 

I'd love to invite you (yes you) after listening to conference, to pick a talk you loved and to share with a friend this week. Say something like, I was thinking of you and thought you might enjoy this, etc. Etc. Share the joy, peace, and hope that is available to be found through those inspired words!

 

I 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...
