Week 59

This week was amazing!!

We went last week on Monday to the Zoo! The zoo was sooo fun! We got to see a dolphine show, pet a cheetah, and hold lemurs! It was so fun!!!

We also had two baptisms this week from the elders. For one of them we helped a member give a talk for the baptism and she did so well! Mary is so cute! It was her first talk.

We also had two lessons with Kostas this week. And he is progressing! He had a difficult day with his friends asking him why he felt he needed to get baptized. But what was really cool was that night he went home and read from the Book of Mormon and felt the spirit. He called me on the phone and started to describe his feeelings but couldnt. He said he felt God's love! It was wonderful to see him really desire the blessings of baptism!

This week we got a new sister from Italy!! She is soooo sweet!! We love her so much!! She has really good Greek already and puts her heart in the work! She is wonderful:)

We also met a man named Fernado this week on the bus. And he called us that night to meet up and talk about the church. It was so cool. It is always so neat to see how the Lord works with us!

We also had a lot of rain this week! 

It was a really good week! 

I love you all!

Week 58

This week we had three lessons with Kostas and it went really well! He is progressing and we changed his baptismal date to the 5th of November. And he fells really good about the date. It was really sweet to see him at church and a member came up to him and asked him when he was getting baptized and he proudly said the 5th of November.

We also had Sisters Conference this week and so all the sisters got together and we had a conference with Sister Heder. It was really wonderful! We discussed what we had learned so far on our mission and how we could apply it after our mission. It was really neat to be able to think how much this mission has prepared me for my life back home.

We had Zone Conference the next day and the theme was the Holy Ghost. It was so refreshing to hear about the Spirit. I am grateful for the guidance of the Spirit and how it has testified to me of the truthfulness of the gospel.

This week we also had a  training for when the new misionaries come. We will be receiving 9 new missionaries and so I will be training with my companion Sister Leuzinger.We are both really excited for this opportunity! The new sister is from Italy. And its cool because we bith were trained by the same sister that was from Italy and now we both get to train together a sister from Italy. hah

We also went to our investigators wedding this saturday. We were her missionary bridesmaids! It was really fun going and seeing an African style wedding. In the church they had drums and loud singing. She was realy happy about us being there to support her. And it was fun to be able to talk to all the people about us being missionaries.

 I hope you all have a great week! 

Love you all,

Sister Ramsay

Week 57

This week was really great! We had two lessons witth Kostas! He even came to church on Sunday! On the way to church he was talking to us about wanting his baptism sooner. It was cool, because we had planned to talk to him about changing the baptism date to an earlier date. He loved being at church and watching Conference! Kostas is awesome!! This Sunday Nathaneal came to church too! He loved Conference and will come again next Sunday. He has read a lot of the Book of Mormon and is almost finished. We also saw Joseph this week! He thought the video of Jopseph Smith was inspiring. He really felt the spirit in the lesson. Overall it was a really good week! Conference really was uplifting and inspiring to watch! I love the gospel of Jesus Christ! I know it is true!

In two weeks we will be getting three new sisters:) and Sister Jansson will be going home. Time is going by so fast! :) 

 Have a great week!!

I love you all,

Sister Ramsay

Week 56

How is everyone?

This week was really good! We had a lesson with a man named Kostas. He was a referral from the church headquarters. He really wants to change and come closer to Christ. This week we had two lessons with him. And in our 2nd lesson we taught him the Plan of Salvation and when we told him about the Celestial Kingdom and how if he is faithful he can be with his family forever and see them again. He started crying and said he wants that really bad. Both of his parents have died and so hearing this was something that brought him so much joy and peace! I know the gospel is a message of peace and comfort! God loves us and wants us to all be able to come back to Him!

We also taught a lesson to Joseph. He is from Nigeria and I met him on the bus and gave him a card but didnt have enough time to get his number but he that evening he had called us! It was so cool. (That usually doesnt happen) And so we had a lesson with him and just a few days after he called to thank us for the lesson and told us how much he loved that we invited him to pray about the things we taught him! It was so wonderful to see how much joy the gospel does bring!

We also got to watch General Conference this weekend and that was amazing! It really brought the spirit!

I am so grateful for the Savior and all that He has done for me! He loves us all and wants to help us and lift us up! I know it is only through Christ that we can go back to our Heavenly Father!

I love you all,

Sister Ramsay
