A New Year

Susquehanna River Bank 

So 2015 is here!! I have almost been out in the mission field for a month!  It does not feel like it...where does the time fly?

Goals are so  important.  Right now as a missionary, I have set A LOT of goals for myself.  Some of my goals include:  Trying to talk to 3 new people each day, not eating chocolate for breakfast, read the New Testament and finish the Book of Mormon this year.  Also, I still have my prior goals of strengthening my testimony and being a super awesome missionary!  All of those goals are much easier said than done, right??? :)

Anyways, I had a very fun New Year's Eve.  I was on a  3 day "Exchange" down in Owego, New York with the Sister missionaries there and we had a blast.  I did not get to do a lot of teaching due to the holidays and all of the sickness going around.  But, I had the opportunity to continue to learn from another companionship, see their successes, spend time with them, develop friendships and also get to know the people down in Owego.  Within 3 days, I did come to love them.  Such a sweet town, with amazing 1800's architecture and history.

I took a picture of myself out in front of the Susquehanna River!!  That was so cool.  We did get to spend New Years Eve at the Bishop's house and we watched the movie "God's not Dead".  That was such a good movie.  I may have shed a tear... okay, maybe a few tears.  But, this week I learned a lot about he spirit and how to use it to teach effectively.

I'll write more next week!!

The Church is True!!!!

Love, Sister Williams
