I AM 20!! 

Haha Hi!!
This last week was crazy! There was so much to do and so less time. 
On Tuesday our zone and the Vizag zone were together and we had a training with Elder and Sister Evans (of the Seventy). It was a wonderful conference, we learned so much from him, our mission president and other missionaries. One thing that I loved, that we talked about was being kind. Elder Evans talked a lot about President Monson and being kind is one of his counsels that he shared with us. As I was preparing for my talk this last Sunday I was thinking more about what really does being "kind" mean.I learned that it means being generous and, being generous means giving freely. And what can we share and give more freely than our testimony of this true church, of the fact that Jesus is the Christ and that the Book of Mormon is not just a book, it is the evidence that Joseph Smith was a prophet who was guided by Jesus himself to restore the truth back on Earth. I know that as we all are a little more kind, we will be more generous in sharing the love God has for us. 
We finally set baptism date with Chinnari and we are so excited for her!   

I finished reading the Book of Mormon on my Birthday!! I was soo happy!!! 
I am so glad to be having this book in my life because I have personally been guided and strengthened so many times through the words it has in my life! I know for a certainty that it is true! I know that it can provide us all with the strength that is needed to face the many challenges we face in our lives each day. I love it because I know it is true. I'd love to encourage all of you to read it too because it has blessed my life immensely and I'd love to see those blessings in your lives too :)) 

We had a lot of traveling last week because of my companion's visa. We were in Vizag last week and then today, traveling right now, we are in Chennai. I traveling on my birthday :P 

I am safe, healthy and happy :)) 

p.s.- THANK YOU FOR ALL THE BIRTHDAY WISHES!!

Love,
Sister Massey

Week 29 & 30 : Aruku Valley and wonderful people

Image
Hey All, I am sorry for not emailing last week. Got caught up.  So yeah, last week we for a fun Zone Activity to Aruku Valley, its a hill station in Vishakhapatnam and is a beautiful place. I am attaching some pictures from that day :)) Also, this past week we got to meet such amazing people! We met 3 women of such a strong character that have inspired us a lot. Venu, she is a college student here in Vizag but is actually from Orissa. She belongs to a Hindu family but loves to attend church because it gives peace to her. She is super talkative which makes meetings with her all the more fun. Then there's Priyanka(a girl we just met in an auto going to visit a family) and Prem (a friend she got with her to meet with us). They shared with us how they have been praying since they were kids and how that has blessed their life so much. We all shared our testimonies with each other that day and the spirit was so strong in the room that evening. We all could feel it i

MTC experience !!

We left the MTC finally! it was super sad because we all had made tons of friends and it was hard to say goodbye.we sure learned so much from each other!  e reached Bangalore and had a great time with the mission president and his wife, President and Sister Mortensen.  We all guessed where we will be going and sister chenna had her flight tickets to Chennai and my name was on there with her so I thought I'd be going to Chennai. but when President MOrtenmsen told me it was not that! I am serving in ................. Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh. And the crazy part is that my companion and I are the first sister missionaries in this area after about 20 years. It is a beautiful place!! (i wish I could send you the picture but I am emailing from a local cafe and don't really trust the system here so don't wanna take any risk with my memory card.) There are beautiful and tall coconut trees everywhere! and its really calm! there's never a lot of traffic a
