Bloxham Missionary News: Hermana Bloxham

Hey guys!

We had a great week this week! We got a super awesome new investigator named Lianabel! She's 15, almost 16, and she is super legit. She says she really wants to learn and read the scriptures and she has a lot of really good questions! We are really excited about finding her! She is the niece of a potential investigator from English class! They live together so when we went to see Justina, the aunt, we talked to Lianabel and now we are teaching her!

We also went on a split this week with the Chinatown sisters! I went down to Chinatown on Friday night and went with Sister Mackay! I served with her in Westchester so it was super fun! They usually have all of their lessons at the church because a lot of the people live in lots of different areas and it's hard to visit them at their houses, so they usually come to the church to have lessons with the missionaries, but we actually left and went to someone's house! It was fun! I got to see a little more of Chinatown and walk around a little haha. It was super fun though!

On Sunday we had an online Facebook event, where we invite people to have lessons with us through the Facebook event things, it's super cool. But we had the event and we taught our members about Preach My Gospel and how it can help them and they can know how they can help us, and while we were doing the event we also were talking to a less-active online about watching General Conference and how it can help him and an investigator all at the same time! So we got 3 lessons in the space of 1 hour! Isn't that crazy!? It was pretty sweet! Haha.

This week we have really been focusing on helping the members learn how to use and study Preach My Gospel. It's something that is super important to us as missionaries and our work and study, but now as well, with the invitation from Elder Ballard, it has become that important for the members as well! Lots of people don't know about it or what it is, so we have been doing a lot of explaining what it is and how they can use it in their lives to strengthen their testimony.

So I just wanted to invite all of you to start studying Preach My Gospel if you haven't already! It has so many good things in it! I know that it will help you to strengthen your testimony and know how to help the missionaries in your area. It has been written through revelation to the prophets and apostles today and I know that it can teach us so many things! You will find a peace and happiness that you can't find anywhere else but through the work of salvation.

I love you all so much!
