Family & Friends,
What a crazy week!!!
Okay so this was my first week in the PVC and I love it so
much! it is so fun! Like really it’s awesome and I am so spoiled and blessed to
get to serve here, I didn’t know this but apparently every sister in the
mission wants to do PVC.
We spend a lot of time in the mission office so we get to
work with the senior couples a lot and the full time Digi sisters it’s so fun
we also spend a lot of time with president and Sister Miller. Also it’s so fun
when we travel we get to meet many other missionaries and so many people! I
have heard some amazing conversion stories this week. And I get to see
missionaries I have served with in my last area!
So this week we traveled in our super cool car (aka the spaceship)
its massive and yes I "get" to drive it, anyway we went to three
events and two baptism, the baptisms were in Nashua New Hampshire and Boston
the one in Boston was with the Haitian Creole branch they are the only Haitian
branch in the world outside of Haiti and they speak a dialect of French it was
so cool to listen to it we had a translator who translated our testimonies as
we spoke, and we even played the videos in Creole, technology and it’s amazing
to see how these videos bring the spirit, not that speakers don’t but when we
turn the lights off everyone gets quiet and they all pay attention and that’s
when the spirit speaks to people! At the end of the baptism in Boston the woman
who was baptized her daughter went up to the missionaries and asked to be
baptized it was incredible!
Next week we are going to a baptism for someone who saw the
PVC and after watching some of the videos decided to investigate and now is
getting baptized
Sister Lucy Black is awesome we have so much fun she is from
Provo, Utah she was a ballroom dancer in high school and she is the youngest of
5. Whenever we go somewhere in public we take turns picking out people for each
other to contact it’s kind of funny but it works and makes it easier to just go
up to random people and contact them. We have also decided that google is our
third companion cause if we don’t know something we google it! And we can do
this because PVC has IPads!!!! Yay!!!!
okay something that is also super neat is that because the
MBM started the PVC, other missions who see it want it so a mission in Arkansas
got it, i know random, but the mission president from Australia was in the MTC
with president and Sister Miller and now we are working with him to get the PVC
in their mission, his name is president parker and he is insanely nice, he
calls us with questions and he just keeps saying how blessed he is to be
working with us and how he amazing this program is!
A lot of people have asked if PVC has a ward we are with the
answer is yes we serve in the Weston 1st ward, we spend 3/4 of our time and the
rest with investigators we just had a lesson last night with one of our
investigators, Medina, and invited her to pray about a baptismal date she is
awesome but concerned that she doesn’t know everything but we whipped out some
scriptures and she is feeling better about it.
Well we are going to tour Wellesley College today so that
should be fun, this week we Chinese New year activity to go to and Cambridge to
work on some new videos for the program should be a blast!

this week i
learned to not worry about saying something profound all the time or
making sure what i said changes someone’s life, think about the times when
someone has said something that has made a profound impact on you and
they didn't even know.
I am surprised
every day by how much the spirit guides and directs my thoughts and actions to
benefit others, when i bear my testimony to anyone i realize i know much more
than i thought i did- so share your testimony love you all have a wonderful
week!
XOXO
