{Letter #27} The Power of Prayer

from June 7, 2021

Hellooo amazing people!! I don't have much to update on- we've been super busy, have biked a ton, have seen a lot of miracles, and are loving it here in West Jordan!!

I did have a super awesome study about prayer this week and I wanted to share a little quote with you from President Ballard:

"No matter where you live, what language you speak, or the challenges you face, God hears and answers you in His own way and in His own time. Because we are His children, we can approach Him to seek help, solace, and a renewed desire to make a positive difference in the world. Praying for justice, peace, the poor, and the sick is often not enough. After we kneel in prayer, we need to get up from our knees and do what we can to help—to help both ourselves and others."

God loves us so much! Being on the mission has only confirmed and strengthened my testimony of that. And He has a plan for each of us, gifts that He's given each of us to help us make a positive difference in the world. If you ever feel doubtful of that, just ask Him! I can promise you that He'll let you know the truth. He'll give you the opportunities you need to become who He wants you to become.

Love you all!! Have an amazing week!

Love,
Hermana Goold

Last Transfer {Letter #33}

Image
Hello everyone!! Happy Monday!! Get ready because these past like 3 weeks (or whenever it was that I last wrote a weekly) have been crazy ones!! Here are some highlights (and there are more in picture form at the end😁) Highlights: ◇We got the cops called on us!! We accidentally parked in front of someone's illegal driveway so they called the police on us.... No worries though it all turned out well haha ◇We've been listening to Christmas music for about 3 months now and are super excited that it's officially Christmas season now 🎄🥳 ◇We met some of the most prepared people ever! We "randomly" knocked on their door, taught them the Restoration, and put them on date to be baptized! They already had been to church a couple times and knew that the restored gospel is true! ◇We got to eat Thanksgiving with a cute family in our stake. It was actually my first time eating a meal with a member! It was amazing! ◇We got transfer calls this week! Sadly, I'm going to be ...

{Update #5} She's Arrived!

Image
Hermana Goold didn't have time to write a letter this past week, so here I am to let you know that she has safely arrived to the Salt Lake City-West Mission!    She met her mission president and companions.     And even had time for a quick phone call on Google Hangouts, where she let us know that she's serving in Taylorsville.  I'm already a HUGE fan of the communication changes for missionaries!   Feel free to drop her a quick email or snail mail to say, "Hello," and wish her well on her first days in the field and especially with speaking Spanish! Thank you for love and support of Emma!    Love,  Emma's mom

{Letter #36} Happily Ever After

Image
Once upon a time a girl got her mission call to Toronto Canada. She started the mtc online and three weeks later got reassigned to the Salt Lake City West Mission. A lot of people asked her how she felt and she would smile and say that she was excited. But there was always a twinge of disappointment. She finished up her training and headed to Utah. She still wasn't sure about everything when she got there, but she went with it. She had hard days, she had sad days, she had days where she had no idea what she was doing, but through it all there was something that kept her going. Something that helped her feel joy. She didn't realize it, but she was learning to love being a missionary. She was learning to love serving in Utah. She loved the people in West Jordan, Kearns, West Valley, and Taylorsville. She loved serving. She loved teaching. She even loved knocking doors. Things she never thought she'd love to do. Suddenly, before she knew it, her time as a missionary was up. Af...
