"My Frain Is Bried"

Week 17, Transfer 2
Area: Corning (Olive Branch)
Comp: Hermana Tate

Buenas tardes! Short email this week, but some highlights were...

4 people came to English class! It was so fun! They're all super lit and all want to come back next week.

Went to Daisy's Ice Cream for their $1 ice cream on Wednesday. Got animal cracker ice cream, and it was SO GOOD. Hermana Tate got bubblegum... would not recommend.

For those of you following the saga... we had a super lit lesson with Armando this week! Introduced the Book of Mormon and had a sweet couple from the English ward there with us. Shoutout to Brother Mackintosh for leading probably the most spirit-filled lesson I've ever been in. Please keep praying for Armando!

THE ELDERS HAD A FRIEND COME TO CHURCH! LET'S GOOOO!

Found a caterpillar in the garden. I touched it. I hate bugs. It was like 4 inches long.

Did some solid Facebook work. We have a Summer Olympics Facebook challenge going on right now, and I'm just a little behind on some of the goals... but I can testify that God is a God of miracles and there is power in prayer. Like I said, there is power in prayer.

My spiritual thought today is short, but I know that God lives. That truth right there is mind-blowing. We have a Heavenly Father who is watching out for us, who cares about us, and who WANTS to be involved in our lives and send us help when we need it. All we need to do is ask Him for His help through prayer. He lives, He loves us, and He is there for us.

3 Nephi 14 (also Matthew 7 because the scriptures are cool like that):
"7 Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
8 For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened."

Tengan una buena semana!
With love,
Hermana Ellis

God Is Cooking!!

Week 59, Transfer 9 Area: Auburn (Auburn 2nd Ward & Spanish group!!!) Compañera: Hermana Griffin This week was INSANE! God is cooking. Talked to EVERYONE and their MOM (literally) this week because it's getting darker later (so we can be outside for longer!!!) and the weather is better so people are spending more time outside. This, some new finding methods, epic referrals from the English missionaries, and LOTS of Heavenly help led us to find 7 new friends to teach this week AND almost the same amount of people who are interested in meeting with us as we have number of people we're currently actively teaching!! Our members here are AMAZING. We had 6 lessons where members participated. They always bring such a good spirit, insights, and experiences that we as 20-year-old missionaries oftentimes just can't relate to that ultimately help our friends a ton. Found an epic guy named Jorge who told us he wants us to come back and teach his ENTIRE family (him, his wife, his 4 ...

Week 75, Transfer 12 Area: Chico Bidwell Spanish Branch Compañera: Hermana Hinton It's been a while and a lot has happened! Sorry for not sending an email in a while, thanks for your patience! I hope all is well! Let's run it. Highlights!! We have 4 friends on date, all planning to be baptized this transfer!!! They are so cool and so prepared. We've got Karina (the mom of 2 of our new members), doña Julia (Karina's soon-to-be husband's aunt), and Marlina and Mailani, 2 of the daughters of our new member Miguel! Julia gave us these EPIC T-shirts with our faces printed on them haha, and we gave her a baptismal progress chart; we met her in the Ross parking lot to exchange them. It was a few days before she came to church for the first time, and she told us she needed to go buy a dress for Sunday, so we met up before she went in. Naturally, Ross came in clutch and she's been slaying every Sunday since. And she's been participating in Relief Society at church!! ...

The End Of An Era (Homecoming Details At The End!) (pics)

Week 79, Transfer 12 Area: Chico Bidwell Spanish Branch Compañera: Hermana Hinton The time has come! 557 days 79 weeks 8 companions 4 áreas ...and too many amazing people and miracles to count later... Family and friends, What a joy this mission has been! To wear my Savior's name on my chest every day has been the biggest blessing I've ever received. I've had amazing companions, incredible mission leaders, and gotten to know the best people ever! I could write a novel containing each time the Lord's hand has been presented in the work and in my life, all the miracles, changed hearts I've seen, and pure joy that I've been blessed to experience, but I'll spare you from that 1000 page excerpt today and share a tidbit of what I've learned being out here. I've come to know throughout my mission that Jesus is the Christ. He died for us and rose again so that we can find light to break free from sin and hope to confront our trials. He loves us more than we ...
