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 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...

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...
