Onto Another Week 6

 Hello Everyone! 

We're already going into another week 6... it's crazy that I've already been here in Bridgeport for that long. Things have been going well though! 

This week had lots of ups and downs. Our friend Anastasia was planning to be baptized on Sunday and we ended up not being able to get in contact with her or her mom... it was super sad. If you could all keep her in your prayers that would be amazing! 

We were able to have 5 new friends come to church this week though! One of them we didn't think was going to come, but a few days before church we gave him a pass along card on the street, AND HE CAME! He is the only person that has ever come to church from a pass along card. He is super interested in meeting with us and getting baptized so we are excited for him. 

There was also a guy named Greg we met at the park this week and he is super cool as well and wants to read The Book of Mormon! 

This week as I studied, I read in 2 Nephi 3, I read about Joseph in Egypt prophesying of Joseph Smith. It reminded me and deepened my testimony that Joseph Smith really was called to restore The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know this church is true and I am so grateful to be a part of it and get to share the truths of The Gospel of Jesus Christ each and everyday!

Love you all and hope you have a great week!

I am sorry I don't have any pictures again this week, I will be better at taking some.

Hair Cutting and the Usual ✂️

This week was a good week! Last pday we did as we always do and played more chair soccer and card games. Sister Stout also wanted me to cut her hair, so I did. It turned out pretty good! First hair cut was a success! 

Our friend Anastasia is doing really good and we are planning to have her baptism this Sunday after church! 

We also met a really cool friend named  Ralston. He has been going through a lot and we are so grateful we met him. We are helping him prepare to be baptized in a few weeks! He's super cool! 

One day we were out knocking and hadn't been finding a lot of success. We tried to knock some apartment buildings and no one was letting us in. I said a prayer in my heart to know what to do and I was prompted that we just needed to keep knocking. The next building we went in there was a lady who had just come to see an apartment she had bought sight unseen and was with the lady she sold it too earlier that week and left her phone in her car. She is from Puerto Rico so she didn't know where to go and kept watching to see if anyone was going in or out so she could borrow their phone. We ended up being able to help her get ahold of the lady and she just recognized how much God was aware of her. It was a super awesome experience. 

This is a talk I read this week that I loved! I invite you all to read it and listen to what the spirit teaches you!

MIRACLES 💫

 My weekly is written by a fellow missionary this week 😅 hope you enjoy. 

"This week was a good week! As always we played some good chair soccer on pday and brought others to our Savior Jesus Christ. Also MIRACLE ALERT we have this unbaptized child  named Anastasia!! Her mom is just now allowing her to be baptized!! How sick! We had interviews...President Holmes is awesome. Was over flowed with the spirit of God! 

Mission life is the greatest thing ever. I have never been so happy! 

Knocking doors all day bringing people to Jesus Christ."

This week really was a great week though! If you could all keep Anastasia and Josh in your prayers that would be amazing. Love you all and hope you have the best week! I know this church is true and I really am so grateful to be a missionary!

I sadly don't have any pictures, but hopefully I'll have some next week!! Love you all and hope you have a great week! 

Soccer ⚽️🎉

Hello Everyone! 

Sorry this is gonna be a short one. 

This week was a good week! Last pday we played chair soccer with our zone and I missed soccer so much! 

We also had mlc this week which is always super good! President Holmes talked a lot about how we are agents for the Lord and how important it is that we know His plan so we can be the best agents for Him. I think this not only applies to full time missionaries but all of us, and how important it is that we know God's plan so we can better be agents for Him and help others come closer to Him. 

We met some cool people this week as always! Our friends Jay and Boda are preparing for baptism soon, so if you could all keep them in your prayers that would be amazing! They both have a few things to overcome to be ready. 

I am just so grateful for this Gospel and don't know where I would be without it. I love being a missionary!

Love you all and hope you have the best week!!
