Week 62: August 1, 2017: I was transferred to the LIBERTY JAIL!!!

Hey fam!


This week was great! We had transfers this week and I was transferred to the LIBERTY JAIL!!! I was so sad to be leaving Santa Fe so quickly but it has been a great experience serving here. It is such a special place and I have already learned so much. I'm absolutely exhausted at the end of every day haha


I have been studying so much history and have been taking tours on my own since the 2nd day in the jail and just pray that I am not being apostate and teaching false doctrine haha but seriously it is a lot to learn (history wise) and then when you include the doctrine and teaching people not lessons, it gets to be quite challenging. I felt like this when I first got to the visitor center (even worse though cause i literally knew nothing..) and so this isn't bad and i know itll just get easier.


It has been great getting to know the members, they are all so sweet! We had a mission coordination meeting on saturday morning and I was so impressed that a representative from each of the ward auxiliaries was there to talk about the missionary work that they are doing and offer help and support, WAY better than any other coordination mtg I have been in on my mission (or ever)


We found a new investigator this week named D! She said that she had been meeting with missionaries a couple years ago and that she had missed meeting with them. We taught her the restoration at the door and she loved it. We have a return appointment this week and hopefully we can start working with her whole family. That was such a huge miracle!


Since coming to this area, I have been trying even harder than I was before to really try and talk to everyone. and it has been paying off! We were in Walmart doing grocery shopping today and I invited this man to come to the liberty jail and he said that he lives right by it and has always wanted to come in but never really knew if he was allowed. So hes coming this week!


Things have been going really well with sister Godfrey! She is from Utah and is so cute and sweet! She is hilarious and we have lots of fun together! It doesn't even feel like I am really training her cause she is doing so well!


We had a trainers meeting this week and it was great! i absolutely love my new mission president and his wife! I continue to learn so much from them!


Oh and guess what! I finally get to go to the temple this saturday! I haven't been since early December so it's been a long 8 months! Im so excited.


Sorry that I don't have much time to write AGAIN. but know that I love and miss you all!!! have a great week!
