Week 29!

 April 21, 2014

Family & Friends,

How is this week already over? I swear this mission has been the hardest, most rewarding, and fastest 7 months of my life. I really can't express anymore how much I LOVE being a missionary! If anyone has the opportunity... TAKE IT!!!!!! It's amazing!

Well transfers are on Saturday so we will see if I stay in Elizabeth City for another 6 weeks!! I have been here for almost 6 months and I love it!! I don't want to leave!! So we will see!! :)

Happy late Easter!!! Easter is amazing! It is a great time to really recognize what Easter really is! We had 200 people come to church and usually we only have about 115-125ish. It was great!! :) I love going to church!!! Everyone says all their kids love me. They all draw me pictures and stuff and run and jump and hug me!! Everyone says.. you are going to have a lot of kids, they all love you!!!! I seriously love all the kids in the ward!!! They are so so sweet and cute!!

So this week was great we started teaching our investigators daughter! she is so cute! she is 11 years old and LOVES CHURCH! She loves going to achievement days! So we are so excited about starting to teach her!

I LOVE STUDYING!!!! For those who knew me VERY well, Jaymee did not like to study or read or anything. I love it now. I love reading the Book of Mormon and the Bible and everything else we have to study from! I find something I love every time!! We are so blessed to have the scriptures! I love how the Bible and the Book of Mormon go hand in hand! Looking and reading one scripture and then finding it in the Bible it is so amazing! Such a great testimony that it really is "Another Testament Of Jesus Christ."

When I was studying the Book of Mormon the other day, I came across a verse in Mormon where he is calling the Nephites to repentance that I just loved. He says "And [I] had loved them, according to the love of God which was in me, with all my heart; and my soul had been poured out in prayer unto my God all the day long for them".
Do you love others with the love God has for you?
