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 12: Gave myself a birthday gift

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 !!

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...
