God is so GOOD

What's up everyone!! We saw some awesome miracles this week!!! We have exciting news! We have two more people who have chosen to be baptized!!! Eli is on date for April 29th and Crystal is on date for May 20th! Eli is 10 and he is so excited to be baptized! He already knows so much and loves coming to church! Crystal is so amazing! She is literally 9 months pregnant and having her baby TODAY, But she texted us about meeting with her at the end of this week!!! She is so amazing! Please keep them in your prayers!!

We had zone conference this week!!! I was so excited to see the missionaries in our Zone and to be able converse with eachother about how we can solve some of the problems that we are having in our areas! President Monson gave some amazing trainings on obediance and how we can improve teaching to the concern/need of our friends! It was long but I found a lot of answers to prays as I looked back at notes that I had taken! Immediately after zone conference we did exchanges with the STLs! I got to go to Summerville 2nd and work with Sister Moorhouse and Sister Allred and Hess went to the Boro with Sister Carter!! I was so lucky and I got to go on BASE! There is a member who lives on base with her family because her husband works on base and we got to do some service at their house! It was so cool! When we unexchanged we decided to get dinner all together and we went to this super cute restaurant called Five Loaves! It was so cute and the sunset made it even more beautiful!

This week we talked about our mission call letter as a district and one of my fellow missionaries said this, "It will be hard and sometimes not happy but as we do this, we will find that JOY! It won't be easy but it will be worth it!" This applies to so much more than just missionary work! Life is hard and it can be sad but as we continue to push forward, rely on Christ, follow his teachings and the prophet, we will be able to recieve that joy! God recognizes our sacrifices and he will bless us with so much more whether it is in this life or in the life to come! I know that these blessings will come as we continue to work and place our faith and trust in God! Find the Joy in the Journey!!! (Shout-out Sister Wardrop for that)

I love you all and I hope your week is full of miracles!

Love, Sister Jolley
