I hope you are all doing good.
Tuesday April 16th was my moms birthday. She came over and brought my siblings to a park. It was fun to be together again. (Happy Birthday, Mom!)
Wednesday April 17th I started out indexing. I had a difficult time reading the handwriting. I kind of had to guess. A little later I had a weird feeling I needed to go back and Google the cities of the state. I looked it up and almost immediately found the correct one. If you sincerely try, the Holy Ghost will guide you! The rest of the day I mainly looked at my family trees ancestors memories. It was cool to read different backgrounds and stories.
Thursday April 18th I went to the temple with my Grandma Gill. I love the temple and the peace and help you can receive. I'm slowly gaining a love for those who have passed on. I'm thankful for the plan of salvation! I know the people on the other side are helping us! My grandma while waiting for initiatory opened her scriptures and I glanced down and saw she had turned to Joshua. I showed her Joshua 1:9 because that's my favorite scripture. Made my day!
Also Happy Birthday to BOTH my grandpas Thursday. :)
Friday April 19th
I'll leave some pictures from that day. Also in the evening my siblings came over last minute. I was really tired. I had a weird feeling traffic was going to be wild so I said a little prayer of help. As we were going around town it was hectic but I felt a presence there helping us keep safe and it helped me.
Saturday April 20th was the first service mission meeting. In Sister C talk, She once visited Jerusalem. She expected a feeling there. "When we turned to leave the tomb, there was a plaque on the door that said, "He is not here, for he is risen." Those words entered my heart. I thought that is why I was not feeling what I had hoped for. He is not in his tomb. He is not dead. He is alive. He has left the tomb." That gave me the shivers. I know He lives and loves us. He is there not only when we make mistakes, but feel joy, sadness, etc. I love my Savior and I know He loves all of you. He has risen, and because He has we can have hope.
Later I went and talked with the sisters again. I'll leave a pictures of us. Not great picture but the sisters really helped me especially during my first week. :)
I feel like I could have done a little better this last week so I'm going to try a little harder this week. Also thanks for all the responses and the emails I have been getting. They have helped me a lot!
Your favorite service missionary,
Sister Jessica Gill
