Hey Everyone! 

 This week Steve got to come start his family history! It was so cool as he had nothing, then 20 minutes later he had a good sized family tree on family search. We got to teach several friends about the temple this week. This video is so powerful! Two Apostles Lead a Virtual Tour of the Rome Italy Temple

 Temples were found in Christ's Church anciently, they are there again today.

 I was thinking about how the temple and tabernacle were places of sacrifice, and 3 Nephi 9: 19-20

And ye shall offer up unto me no more the shedding of blood; yea, your sacrifices and your burnt offerings shall be done away, for I will accept none of your sacrifices and your burnt offerings. 

 20 And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit. And whoso cometh unto me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, him will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Ghost, even as the Lamanites, because of their faith in me at the time of their conversion, were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and they knew it not.

 The temple has altars still, it is a place where we go show God that we are willing to put him first and sacrifice in his behalf.

 After teaching one of our friends about Temples this week, he told us, "I believe what you've been telling me is true". That was so huge! We have been teaching him since October! As he has read the Book of Mormon his knowledge and testimony has grown! It has been cool to watch! 

 So for my next transfer I'll be finishing training a new missionary back in Anderson! 

 Have a great week!

 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...
