Week 16: Elder Cook's visit

Namaskaram :P
This last week was precious. As a mission we got to meet a special witness of the divinity of Jesus Christ. It was a beautiful experience and i sure got to learn a lot.
The spirit was so strong that i couldn't hold my tears the whole time.
Sister Mortensen inspired me a lot! I got a lot o answers to my prayers through her short talk that day. It gave a testimony that prayers do get answered and that God really is there and is ALWAYS listening to what we are saying. 
It was such a delight to be in the same room as an apostle of Jesus Christ. I will always cherish the memory of conducting the music when an apostle visited our mission. 
I was nervous of being picked on by Elder Cook and not being able to answer the right thing and all that but as soon as he started talking certain calm came upon me and i knew that the holy spirit was there and that even if he asks me something, that i will be fine. It felt so good in my heart when he was addressing us all. What i loved the most about the whole thing was the way he bore his testimony about the Savior. That HE LIVES. All the doubt that i had, nothing was left. I knew for sure that this man in front of me who knows His voice and knows His face is saying the truth. It was a wonderful feeling!!!!!
I am blessed to be doing God's work at this time. 
We see many people wanting the truth in their lives but they are not ready to let Christ in and help them, it really makes me very sad when people decline invitations because i know how those can help them grow and also how sister Funk also shared about how important inviting is. I have been trying to be better at inviting, it still needs a lot of work but i am getting there.
We met quite a few new people this week, and one of our investigators who had been delaying attending church finally came last Sunday and he also told us that he will come every Sunday now. That made me so happy!! I am excited to be working with Sister Waghmare. We both seem to be getting along real good. I finally can talk in tons and tons of Hindi again haha. We know we will have language barriers while teaching but we know God will help. 

We are all really excited for all the missionaries that are coming here in these next two months from New Delhi! At the conference we got a chance to visit with the missionaries from Delhi who are serving right now and many return missionaries who served in the India New Delhi Mission. 

My companion is Sister Waghmare now, she is from Mumbai and is so much fun! There never a time when we're not laughing. I miss Sister Botcha though, if any of you go to temple square make sure you go say hi to her. She is a sweetheart. :)) 

It was a crazy busy week but, its been a wonderful week! 
Thank you for all your love and support! i love you all so much!

Thank you,
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

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
