Week 14 : Rajahmundry Open House





Hey,
We had one of the best experiences here in Rajahmundry last week. We had the first Open House at the Rajahmundry Stake center and it was a successful and a beautiful event to be a part of.
We invited everyone we could. 
We started off with a word of prayer, there were about 40 of us who were there for that but we could feel the spirit so strong as our stake president spoke about how grateful we are as a stake to have this opportunity. We shared all that we do in our different auxiliaries with the guests and a lot of them loved it. Sister Botcha and i were helping out the Young Women's program. 
There was a different feeling in the building the whole day and we knew that we were all brothers and sisters working together to let those who visited know that this is what makes us so happy. Everyone had beautiful smiles on their faces and there was so much love around. 
It went on for the whole day and we had a big dinner with everyone who helped out after. Our stake president addressed us and told us that there many hearts that were touched and there was a visitor who was looking for some answers and shared how he found his answers through this tour. 
It is amazing to be a part of things like these that make such a big difference for the church here in India. The church is growing and we hope that many more people can come to know why we love serving and being a part of this true and restored gospel. 

Got to Skype my family for mother's day! it was amazing!!(obviously) it was really good to see them. No pictures this week.
Take care!
Life is good. 

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

Week 28: Getting all my cousins

Hey all, I received my new companion, Sister Chadda. She is also from Delhi and is adorable adorable adorable! she is tiny and very sweet. She makes me smile a lot :)) She has a very strong testimony and it has been strengthening mine since she came.  With her, i got Sister Beesa in my apartment too!!!! it is super crazy how my cousins always end up being around me on the mission. It amazes me to see her on a mission and how good of a missionary she already is. We have been laughing continuously since they came. It's fun. They're both tiny and Sister Kongu and I are not so we feel like big aunties in front of them. hehe  This last week we had an appointment that I will probably never forget. We were teaching the Restoration and Sister Chadda shared her testimony n Hindi, when I looked at sister Kongu to say that I will translate it in English and then she can do it in Telugu, she said she that she got it and she went on and translated the whole thing in Telugu! It

The Journey has begun .

Heyy We reached safely! It turned out to be longer than we expected. The whole journey was really funny haha people were getting lost but we managed to find everyone and gather them all in one place and make I to the hotel. Okay yeah, funny story! so when we got to Bangkok we were supposed to meet up with other missionaries who were gonna join us from Bangalore. We got there, went through security and thought that the most sensible thing would be to wait in the waiting area before boarding. Half an hour passed by, then an hour and there was no sign of these missionaries. We kept scanning the whole area for them but no luck. said prayers but haha nothing seemed to be working. And then right before we boarded we saw the sisters coming down the escalator without the Elders xD then we waited for another 10 minutes for the elders and finally boarded the flight. When we asked them where they'd been they said,"Wee were out looking for you guys" what even!! haha we all had
