Week 52

-

 Hey Everyone!

 

This week I moved to Muncie Indiana to be a missionary on Ball State University. 

 

It is so fun to be a missionary on campus, there are so many people to talk with, so that's fun! 

 

Neither me nor my companion were here before, so we are learning the area together and meeting the friends the missionaries were teaching before we got here. So that has been wild. 

 

It was sad to say good bye again, even more sad because I didn't get to say good bye to the North Vernon ward because it was the weekend of General Conference. 🤧

 

We live right next door to the Elders who also serve on Ball State. So that's kinda fun to doorbell ditch them every time we go anywhere. 

 

I love serving with Sister Reese!

 

This past week we met with Benny, a guy at Ball State who was baptized a few weeks ago. He also was able to go to the temple recently, and had an awesome experience! He said he doesn't usually cry, but he definitely did after going to the temple, just because of the peace and special spirit found in the house of God. I love how he described the feelings of being at the temple and doing baptisms for the dead as humbling and empowering. Those words describe coming closer to God so well!

 

That's all for this 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...
