Feelin like spring!

Hey everyone! This week was a great week. saw many tender mercies of the Lord for sure. Sometimes i don't know how we carry on but then i remember, oh wait. Only with the Lord's help could we do what we do!!!
Green Bay is so busy, the busiest of all my areas and as such we have appointments back to back. A cople days we missed out on essentials like studies, or eating lunch, weekly planning. Thankfully Heavenly Father's in charge and a couple appointments fell through so we were able to do most of everything!!
So, baptismal interviews was a little stressful with timing but we were able to hang out at the church from 9 to 330 with interviews and all our lessons came to us at the church!!! Best thing ever having a line of appts and not having to move :)
So..... Victoria, Jorge, and Chris all passed their baptismal interviews!!!
Victoria and Jorge will be Friday
Chris on Saturday.
It's going to be a white Christmas!!!
We had an appointment with some legit people. Sister Kealer met them last week tracting on exchanges and we taught them the restoration on tuesday. The mom and the daughter both accepted to be baptized as they come to know this is true. And the son will hopefully join us next time! Yay, a family!!!
That's about it for this week!
Have a merry Week before Christmas!!!
Love, Sister Roylance

Re: Hello everyone!

This week was the craziest week of my mission. No lie!!! Literally we are so busy that we struggle to fit everything in. It didn't help that w 
e had 10 hours driving total for exchanges with marquette and a meeting 1 1/2 hours away in oshkosh. But....all is well! Things are fabulous!!!
 
I got to go back to Marquette for one day on exchanges. Miracle for sure! But we were able to reconnect with Patricia one of my favorite people and get her back on track!!! Turns out after our visit, she showed up to the church on sunday and told sister Hancock she wants to be baptized before she leaves.
Got to see Peggy too!!! Shout out to her. I love her lots and she is so strong in her testimony. It's amazing to see the love she has for the Savior.
 
Funny story! So as Sister Kealer was driving back to meet us at the end of the exchange, they hit a bird. Repeat they hit a bird. Doesn't sound like anything at all until you know that it was a large bird, perhaps a wild turkey, and it put a good sized hole in our front netting of our car. Had to fill out an accident report and everything :) haha. The one day I leave the car.........

In Green Bay, Victoria and Jorge are continuing to do very well. We had a change up with our lesson. It ended up being in the Taylor's home! Jorge was one or two lessons behind and so this lesson was for him. But they're doing great having fellowshippers and putting the gospel into their lives. They will be baptized on the 19th of December.

Chris is also doing very well. We taught the Law of Chastity with the emphasis on eternal marriage and families. Prior to this lesson, him and his member girlfriend were a bit nervous just because it could be a really awkward lesson even though they're not breaking the LOC. So in preparation, they read Law of Chastity in true to the faith. Yupp. They're awesome!  It turned out to be his favorite lesson and he practically bore his testimony on families and the gospel. He will be baptized on the 20th of December. It's going to be a white Christmas!!!
It's amazing to see the greatest joy is seeing Heavenly Father's love for His children. That we are working as a mission to bring his children back to the fold. Oh how he wants this!!

Mission Leadership conference was a great experience. President and Sister Cutler did a training on the teachings restored through the prophet Joseph Smith. It was amazing the many many things! Every doctrine in the BOM, d&c, PofGP, and JST in fact!!! The spirit was so strong and I'm excited to see the many miracles this month as we unite as a mission. Heavenly Father is definitely blessing us every day!
Volunteered at Polar Express. It's like live polar express from the movie. So fun! I got to usher and pass out hot chocolate. And of course see all the trains!  


 Oh! I don't think I shared with you this picture of my favoritest person Marie!!! She was baptized November 15th and was my investigator in kettle Moraine. Love her! Hope you'll all have the pleasure of meeting her one day. One of the most inspirational humans I've met.
love ya'll

Re: Hello all :)

Sorry about the short message. Carrying on.
The week was full of miracles. Got some great new investigators! We have this new survey approach that is like a 90% guarantee we get in the house and have a sit down lesson. Takes some boldness but it's working miracles.
Our investigators are doing pretty well. Chris is pretty legit. He's dating a member and so therefore knows all the commandments already and is living them. So instead of going out to the bars to drink he asks for gatorade! He is super excited to be baptized on the 20th
Victoria and Jorge are great too! Victoria had this amazing experience that I sadly wasn't there for (I was on exchanges in manitowoc) but i shall tell you anyways because I've heard the story 10 times. So victoria had a dream. and when people tell you they had a dream, we're like "oh no. what now" But she said "I had a dream and I don't remember the dream but when I woke up I felt soooo happy. Then I just heard this voice saying 'The book of mormon is true. It's true!' " So..... she's pretty solid. Already lives the word of wisdom and all. She and her son are getting baptized on the 19th and in church she relates experiences "When I'm baptized......" We think she's excited :)
This is a crazy experience. Last night the 6 of us missionaries are invited over to the Johnson's home. We're just going along talking and he relates that he's from North Ogden. Oh! Then 5 minutes later I ask "Are you related to a Jared?" He replies "Yeah, do you know him?" and then of course I tell him Jared's my uncle!!!! So it turns out the world is super small and I'm serving in uncle Jared's brother's family's ward. They're such a cute family and now I'm dubbed second cousin to them. Not sure how the relation actually works but hey!
Hope you all have a great week! I think that's all from me :)
Love ya!
