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 12: Gave myself a birthday gift

Image
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 t...

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 !!

Image
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...
