Beach Trip for Departing Missionaries

July 9, 2018

From my mom to the mission Facebook page - Every transfer my mom and I would see the beach pictures of the departing missionaries on the blog. We knew with a chronic illness that it might never happen, but it brought tears to my eyes to see these in my e-mail today. So excited for tomorrow!

Letter #71 - My Last Weekly!? 🐶🐶🐕

July 2, 2018

Hello Family and Friends,
This is the final time. This is my last whole week of the mission and I will be arriving home next week! So here are some housekeeping items. You are welcome to email me at jillissa.prue@gmail.com 😁 I am planning on holding a social media fast for myself the week I get home, however I still will be available on Facebook messenger.
This week we trained at 4 district meetings and had 3 tradeoffs, it's been crazy! I got to be with Sister Larson, Sister Allgaier, and Sister Wolfley! It is a wonderful time to spend time with and get to know the Sisters. They are a joy 😁 There have been so many growing experiences and testimony builders.
We had Dinner with Josh and Allie and Josh basically invited himself to read the book of Mormon 😅 We had Presidents interviews, the assistants reminded us the importance of the gospel of Jesus Christ in our teaching.
Today we went to the park and went bowling! This week will will have dinner with the waites followed by transfer calls. I'm going to be finding a few more people to teach, 1 last tradeoff and 2 more district meetings! Until we meet again y'all. Love ya, Sister Prue

This week ....has been a week 😅 Someone in the ward was very nice and was able to help me update my contacts. I went to the temple this week and was later able to ponder the blessings of a raised righteous vision. Of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Of blessings we are able to recieve from living God's commandments. I have been able to recieve the knowledge that my Heavenly Father is proud of my efforts. Though sometimes we feel we are alone in our trials, we are never alone when we turn to our Savior Jesus Christ. We are God's hands and he needs me to reach out to those who stand in need of comfort. To share the Joys of Jesus Christ's atonement.
I went on a tradeoff with Sister Meeks in her area and we talked to a lady named Adrianna. She looked and felt lost. She didn't know who God was. She was willing to start reading the book of Mormon and I dont know if she has yet, but I'm sure glad that we got to talk to her and feel Christ's love for her. God's plan for me has given me a lot of hope, I know having a personal relationship with Him has changed my life.
We have seen a lot of outward results from our efforts this week. We have had several people read substantial amounts of the book of Mormon. Some were more sincere than others. We are starting to teach some couples/families.Thank y'all for the support you have continued to give me 😁😸😸

Hello Family and Friends 😂

It has been another week. I got to go on a tradeoff with Sister Seegmiller. She is so greaattt! This is her first transfer in the mission field. She is so relaxed and that was nice thing to relate to. We stayed in my area (Gainesville 2) and we sure did something!😂😂 We have been playing ultimate frisbee for exercise a few times, except the grass is so wet and my shoes get soaked💦 We are waking up early many times, I know the Lord is strengthening me because somehow I'm still going. We had zone conference and I bore my testimony😸 President Lee sobbed during the testimonies and many in the crowd shed tears. It's hard for the missionaries to see Sister Prue to leave. 😂😂🤣 They moved the temple trip early and I'm going this week, so that will be a good experience! It's been too long and I have so much to learn there👼🏻 Sister Beecher and I are working our area for all its worth. We are seeing the blessings of following up, with finding more people to teach, such as families😁 We went to Newberry and I introduced sister Beecher to Cilantro Taco. She liked it.
"And don’t be alarmed when the prophet’s warning voice counters popular opinions of the day. The mocking fireballs of annoyed disbelievers are always hurled the moment the prophet begins to speak. As you are humble in following the counsel of the Lord’s prophet, I promise you an added blessing of safety and peace." - Neil L Andersen

Sorry I haven't taken so many pictures, I'll try to be better this week!

Letter #68 - IT COMES STORMIN IN🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🎣🏄‍♀️

June 11, 2018

Hello Family and Friends, 😁
This week the Thunder and Lightning has been fantastic. It sounds so close like it's going to bring the house down! With Sister Beecher, we talk to EVERYONE. I often get nervous to talk to people, but sister Beecher has no fear. It gives us a lot more opportunities to testify of the Book of Mormon and of Jesus Christ's gospel. We hand out so many book of Normans 😉 I also love the app cards, because it's basically the same thing as handing out a bom. What's easier than opening a book? Downloading an app. Somehow, this is the logic we experience today. We had dinner and lesson with Brittany and Bryan and the Staceys came along as our member fellowshippers. They agreed to come to church!...until Sunday night 🙃 But I always think about how patient the Lord is with us and he always gives us several attempts as well. We got to go to Jacksonville for MLC. Talked about helping our investigators to keep commitments. People are not likely to change until invited to do so. And ya gotta keep following up. Real life people.

I had a chimichanga for the first time this week. It was good. And jimmy johns. We gave a book of Mormon to a Baptist lady and she said she would read it. Barbara is going to convert her whole family. We call back a person and miss 5 more calls in the process. Comes to MLC an hour early so we aren't late. 😂😂

"Eventual exaltation requires our complete fidelity now to covenants we make and ordinances we receive in the house of the Lord....

I bless you to identify those things you can set aside so you can spend more time in the temple. I bless you with greater harmony and love in your homes and a deeper desire to care for your eternal family relationships. I bless you with increased faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and a greater ability to follow Him as His true disciples." President Nelson, Let us All Press On

Love, Sister Prue

Hello Family and Friends!
This week (last Monday) I dropped off sister Esquerra so she could go home🛫🛫 and I spent a few days with the sisters in Jacksonville! It was an amazing time! I was with Sister Byington and I got to know her. She is awesome and I'm so grateful to meet her for the short time we had. Then on Wednesday, I joined my last companion, SISTER BEECHER. 🤣🤣🤣 She is literally an answer to my prayers. She is so focused and so hardworking. I love it!😍 END STRONG 😁 we visited Sister Miller and Sister Miller ( who arent related) and Sister Miller made us a cake! She had baked leftovers of another cake she made and felt like decorating it and sending It home with us. We met a minister named Greg and he came to church! He leads praise and worship at his church. He is open to different He said he wants to come next week. We also met a 10 year old who wants to do Family History! She said, " im going to download the app right now" and proceeded to make an account 😬
I LOVED President Nelsons devotional last night. It was incredible. I'm going to take his challenge when I come back. This is the time to rise and shine! I love our prophet and the action he's been taking to help the world repent.

Luke 21:31-33
31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
