WEEK : 23











Hi,
Guess what? I went proselyting in Bangalore last week!!
So we were there for a training and President suggested that as we had
a whole extra day there we could go and meet some families. SO we did
and it was the sweetest experience. Some people we couldn't meet
because they were busy but we did meet Dina (the girl in the picture)
and Brother Vishnu's family. his wife was just baptized 3 months ago.
It was so good to see these people. Dina shared with us how she is
wanting to be a missionary like us once she is done with her studies
and we were able to give her some suggestions and shared our
experiences that made her more excited and gave her a clearer picture
of what we do as missionaries.
Then we met brother Vishu's family. We shared about temples with them
and loved knowing about how excited his wife is for their family to
visit the temple one day and be sealed to her family not only for this
life but for the life after death as well.

In Rajahmundry also we met new people this week. Sister Ramanama came
to us while we were at a member's house and expressed how she really
wants to learn about the gospel and about our church so we met with
her and her husband. We also met Devi yesterday who has a beautiful
voice! She asked us to sing a hymn for her (we sang count your
blessings) and then she sang a Telugu hymn for us and we were
literally in awe because her voice was so beautiful. She has 2 kids.
We are excited to meet with her and her family this week.
We are enjoying our companionship. There's a lot of laughter. I like that :))
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

Image
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 .

Image
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
