Hi, I’m a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Transfer news: Elder Mecham will be headed to Rochester to serve in the 2nd Ward and I will be staying here in Niagara Falls. I’m staying as a zone leader and will be getting Elder Hershey as my zone leader companion. I will be training him up to a zone leader! And we will have Elder Thornton as well in our companionship. He has been out on his mission 3 months. It will be great! I’m really excited for this coming transfer.

This week was a great one! Lots of learning experiences for sure. Lol. To start off the week Elder Norr and I went on exchanges! He came to Lewiston with me. We had a good ol' time. Elder Norr is a great missionary! From all the finding we did we found a man named Joseph from Nigeria! Joseph committed to come to church right after we taught him the restoration. It was great!
Wednesday and Thursday were very similar days... the days that you grow. We had lots of finding and for some odd reason each day we only talked to 5 people. No one would open their doors and no one was on the streets. It was nuts. I was confused! It was ticking me off to cause I didn’t feel like I was being effective and felt like I was letting the lord down. But no effort is wasted! We tried our hardest!
Friday we drove to Rochester to have exchanges with the assistants, Elder Nelson came to Lewiston with me and we had a ton of fun! We had some funny experiences in the ghetto as well. Walked up on a guy who recently had gotten jumped basically. It was crazy. We found a few people together, lifted my spirits from the past couple days. I learned a lot from the missionaries I served with this week. I love being able to learn and grow and find new ways to do the lord's work! It’s a beautiful thing.

Saturday was my 20th birthday, feels super weird. I had a great day. My companion took me to dinner and a friend of mine dropped a cake off!:) We were able to have two powerful lessons with former investigators on that day as well! Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I felt the love!
one super cool thing, Saturday evening I had permission to be able to talk with Alex back home! It was great! I love him! it was just like any other day though, hard work and trying to spread the Good News.
I was chastised by this scripture this week as well. Enjoy.
Doctrine & covenants 112:10
“10 Be thou humble; and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand, and give thee answer to thy prayers.”
In all things we must put the lord first. That is being humble. Submitting to his will. And he will guide us by the hand and answer our prayers.
Love,
Elder Judy
