Christmas in Huntington Beach

Dear Family and Friends,

 

This Christmas season is a great season. My favorite time of year is this time of year when hearts are turning towards our Savior. The Savoir is that is always there for us. I know that he is mindful of us and that he cares. He loves us all.

 

We saw our investigator Caeden again this week. He is amazing! He has definitely being prepared by the Lord. I have been able to truly see the Lord's hand in the work. He loves us an he is mindful of us. This week has been quite amazing. 

 

We had a member Brother Bolen call us this week and invite us other to his friend's house for pizza that he was bringing over. The members are beginning to trust more in the ward. It is miracluous!!!  Each day that I have to serve the Lord my testimony grows. He is the light and the life of the world. He is amazing. He knows us he loves us and we will be there for us. I love you all and Hope that you have a very Merry Christmas.  

 

I know that God is mindful of us all! He loves us and he will help through the trails that we have. We must rely on him to help us through! He love us so much! We must be willing to turn our lives to him. He will be our guide as we do through life/.

Miracles and Christmas Stories

Dear Family and Friends,

 

This week was amazing!! We taught our Recent Convert Ken. We also saw Brianna and Sophie two really cute girls who we had tried to meet before when we first got into the area. But we were unable to meet with them. But due to life and twists and turns that life sometimes throws at us all, we were unable to meet with them. We talked to the about the Priesthood and also the Restoration. 

The work is beginning to move forward in the Ward. We are striving to help the member to also do missionary work. 

 

This Sunday I heard some very beautiful Christmas stories. Yesterday while I was listening to this story it brought tears to my eyes. It's called a Big sister's love. Amy and Parker had entered into a contest at a local grocery store. The winners of the contest got to win a bike. There was two different winners because there were two different sizes of bikes. The Children who entered into the contest read books and had their parents and teachers sign off the books there read each week. Parker  want to win one of the bikes so that he could have a bike to ride with his sister Amy.Parker read Green eggs and ham, etc. He read and read. Amy however was not too excited about the contest and rode her bike instead of reading. She saw however after looking at the contest and seeing her little brother try really hard to read as many books as he could, but not matter how many books Parker read there was still someone in his age group reading more books than him. So Amy decided that she would do what the  little brother could not. She would read books for him so that she would win the bike for him. So with her library card in hand she went to work, she read when she wanted to ride her bike, she read when she wanted to play with friends. When the time came for the children to turn in the books they have read. Amy and her mom went to the Grocery store. Amy turned in the books she had read and she was looking at the a little red bike that was to small for her. The owner of the grocery store commented "I assure that you will be wanting the bigger bike won't you." Amy answered "No, I want the little bike so that I can give it to my little brother who could not win the bike on his own." Amy and her mom went home a waited for the numbers to be counted. Then the phone call came Amy had won the contest by reading 280 books. They picked up the bike and stored it in Amy Grandparents house til the time came for them to give the give to Parker. When Christmas came Amys mother started out by reading the Christmas story from the Book of Mormon. Then she told the story of a "Big Sister's Love" and Amy then brought the bike out for her little brother. Parker was very excited. This story is one that I believe shows us Christlike love. I have also seen amazing example of Christlike love in my own live. I have felt it from many our my Young Women leaders who taught me to always remember who I am. My "goodly" parents who taught me the Gospel and how to live. My siblings who showed me the example to follow. And all of my friends who taught me what true friendship is.

 

This week we also went on exchanges where I got to by with Sister Webb, my MTC Companion in Seapoint. I was able to see how the Lord help us. We had fun talking about experiences who have had. We were able to learn from each other as well. I saw her example and realized that I need to be better at asking everyone for referrals. We learn and grow everyday.

I love you all and hope that you have a great week.

God is REAL!!! HE LIVES!!

Dear Family and Friends,

 

We saw many tender Mercies of the Lord this week. This week has been amazing. My companion and I have learned  so much this week. We had a point this week where we were unable to see the Spirit as strongly as we could have. We talked to our District leader about it. He offered to give a us a blessing. We gladly excepted. When we got to the church where we would be getting the blessings, the Elders had to call someone to see if they could come and help, because we needed one more person (Three of a kind). They left to go and pick up a member in their area, when two other elders came on their bikes. The only way to explain this coincidence is that the Lord was there. The blessings we received were major testimony building for me! It helped to to see that God is mindful of us all! It also helped me to see that his plan is not our plan but that his plan is perfect. 

GOD IS REAL!!! HE IS NOT DEAD!!!! GOD knows us and loves us.  The Priesthood is real.

This week we also had a very  amazing lesson with Caeden. We not sure what to teach honestly. When we started the day, but I studied Preach my Gospel Chapter 6 and my companion studied You can do it Now! a talk by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf and we ended up teaching a lesson about Godly sorrow! 

 

I have truly come to realize this week that God knows us! He loves us and he will help us accomplish what he has asked us of us. I know that God loves each and every one of his children. He will bless us. He reach will find us all!! We must open our hearts and our minds to the things he desires us to know.  Don't Give up Hope if answers have not come yet. Answers will come to us. God will bless us and he will be there for us.

 

We also got to go and see what is called a Christmas Creche Festival. There were many different Creches from around the World. I love Christmas Time. Love you all and hope that you have a great week. 

 

Love,

Seapoint Ward

Dear Family and Friends,

Well this week was a little slow. Mostly everyone was out of town for the Holidays. We saw a lot of Less active this week. We were truly able to see the Lord's hand in the work this week. We were guide to those that we needed to see at the right time. I have also been able to see that that Lord is mindful f us all. It has been a little difficult to find in our area. We have a lot of gated communities and we are still very new to the area which makes it difficult.But we know that as we work with the members and rely on the Lord we will accomplish His will in the Seapoint Ward.

The Lord has a plan for us and he will guide us to where we need to be at the the right time that we need to be there. We also had  a recent convert named Ken come out to lesson with us this week. It is so cool to see the Testimony of a new convert grow more every day. It is very interesting to see. He asks questions and shares his the Gospel its amazing. I am so grateful for this time that I have to serve the Lord. 

I hope that you  all had a happy Thanksgiving. I love you all and hope that you have a Great week.

I know that the Lord is preparing his children to receive his gospel. We all must do our part in His work. We can do all things in the Strength on the Lord. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that God is mindful of us all. I know that he will be able to reach us all no matter how far we feel we have gone. He knows us and He loves us. Remember that he is there for you. He is reaching His hand out waiting for us to take it so that he can pull us up and bring us safely back to the path.

Love,

 The district last transfer 

Huntington Beach for life!!!!

Dear family and Friends,

 

Another Transfer has come to an end and another one will soon begin. I am pleased to say that I will be staying in Huntington Beach. I will be staying with Sister Castleberry. We will be staying in the Seapoint Ward. Sister Henry will be going to Long Beach (I believe) Her companion will be Sister Glenn. It is sad to see her go but the Lord calls us and we go where we are called.

 

This week was amazing. We quite a few less active lessons this week. We went on splits with some ward missionaries. Where we were able to see people of the ward that we had not yet been able to meet and where we saw them. This week we invited to go to a relief society activity where we met some members that we have not yet met. It will be continued this week as we strive to meet the members of our Ward and invite them to do missionary work also. 

 

We have an awesome investigator named Caeden. He is a junior in High school. He is progressing well in the Gospel. He has even come with us to see some members of the ward who live in an Assisted living facility. He was a member referral. He goes to Seminary too.

Ken a recent convert in the area got the Aaronic Preisthood on Sunday. Ken has also come to lessons with us. It has been a week full of miracles.

 

We prayed for the spirit to guide us where we needed to go and we needed to see during the day. As we prayed specifically for this we went to the people we felt impressed about who to go and see and it was just at the right moment they needed us there. God know his children and he know who needs his Gospel. Alma 26:37 "...God is mindful of all people..." and he will bless us with what we need when we need it. He will help us when we call upon him. He wants to talk to us. We can communicate with him through prayer. He knows what we need even before we know that we need it, we only need to ask him.  He will answer us, we only need to listen to His answer.  

 

I love you all and I hope that you have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

 

Love you all,

Sister McGarry III

The Tabernacle and the Love of Christ

Dear Family and Friends,

This week has been one of many miracles. I have seen so much this week. My testimony of the Gospel has grown leaps and mounds. The first miracle that happened was the tabernacle, (last week I sent a picture on separate email, I believe...I will send them again in this email just in case the pictures didn't get to everyone). I have learned so much about the Tabernacle of Moses this week. I learned just how much it points towards to Savior and His Atoning Sacrifice. I saw that the Lord was showing the people of Israel that Christ is the way.  It was very cool to see how much the tabernacle and the temple are alike. It has been so amazing to see the word of the Lord in the Old Testament comes to life, as the Old Testament in the hardest of Testaments to understand.

This week we also got to have a BYU professor come to talk to us about the tabernacle.  Brother Donald Parry. He teaches Hebrew classes at BYU. He told us a little bit about the Tabernacle and also how the Book of Mormon has some traces of Hebrew in it. I love this wonderful opportunity that I have had to learn from him.

 

This week I have been able to see that the Lord is mindful of each and every one of His Children. I love the people of the Huntington Beach Stake. Don't get me wrong I have been loving them the moments that I began the Lord work in Huntington Beach almost a year ago. But this week has changed me, I have seen the LOVE that CHRIST has for the people I am currently serving and the people that I have served in this Wonderful Stake. I LOVE HUNTINGTON BEACH!!! I love the people so much more than I ever thought I could. As we pray to see ALL people through God's eyes we will see feel of His love for them and when we feel His love for them we cannot help but smile at them when we see them. HE LOVES THEM!!! and he loves us too. Love you all!

He is our Foundation

Dear Family and Friends,

 

This week my Companions and I have seen the work of both adversary and the Lord this week. The adversary is going to try to destroy our faith and to pull us down to his level. At times when he tries to do this we must ask ourselves what is our Foundation. In Helaman 5:12 we learn where our foundation  should be..."And now, my sons (and daughters) remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that w when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."  Our foundation is Christ. He is the light of the world and He is the living water. This week we have seen Satan try very had to stop the work from happening in our area, but he cannot stop the Lord's work. He will hasten His work in His time. We were told in General Conference this past October and have been told before that time is NOW!!! The Lord is hastening his work right now. It will only hasten as members and missionaries work together to bring the children of God to Him once again. We have seen so much happen in our area this week. We have met so many wonderful people. We are working on getting to know the members in the Ward, which has been super fun, because we are all new to the Ward and we get to introduce ourselves. 

 

This week we went on Splits with the a Sister in the ward who is leaving on mission this week. She is the only member in her family. I was able to go with her. She is amazing the Lord is preparing people everywhere. She will be serving in the Salt Lake City East Mission. It was amazing to hear her share her testimony of the Gospel. 

 

I have been able to see the Hand of God this week. He is mindful of us He loves us and He will help us accomplish His work. We are only the instruments in His hands  to bring to pass His work and His glory which in to "bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man". We must be willing to change to become what he wants us to become. If we are not willing to change then he cannot use us to accomplish His purposes, He wants us to change to become what he wants us to become. He is the Master of our lives, He sees all things. He knows what we need and when we need it. I love you all and Hope that you have a great week.

Seapoint Ward!!!

Dear family and Friends,

 

Last week I was Emergency Transferred to the Seapoint ward. We had a sister that had to do home early and so my companion and I were moved out of the YSA (Young Single Adult) Ward. It has been quite a crazy week. We have been trying to visit as many of the members as possible because we are all new to the area.  We have had a great week. It has been amazing and crazy! I love both Sister Henry and Sister Castleberry.

I have been able to see that the Lord has a purpose for all things. Have continued to see that he knows us and loves us. We went to a Halloween "Trunk or Treat" that our ward was having we got to meet some other members there.   

We also got to go on exchanges. I went to Westminster with my MTC companion Sister Webb. She is one of our Sister Training Leaders.  She helped me so much. It was  so good. We went to see a less active member there, in Westminster who talked about Patterns and Principles. Our brain is run on Principles and Patterns, once we recognize the patterns that our brains is circling around we can change it into principles and therefore be about to work through out problems, etc. She received this idea from Alma the younger in the Book of Mormon that she uses to help people over come addiction. It is so cool. 

We have a fun trip to the ER yesterday, because one of my companions hit her head on the car while they were on exchanges in Seapoint. She had gotten a concussion, the symptoms got worse from Friday so we went to get it checked to make sure that she was all good. She is okay!!! She only needs to rest and stay away from Physical exercise. 

The Lord loves us and He is watching over us. He will Guide us to where we need to be and where need to go. I love y'all.

 

Love,

I am very excited to work in the Seapoint Ward. I love how the Lord places us right where he needs us.  The Lord is our guide. He knows us and loves us.

This week we also had Zone Conference where we were able to recieve wonderful words of inspiration from President Patterson. I am very excited to work with the members of Seapoint. I know that God loves us all and that he will be helping us accomplish his work in the area.  The Lord will bless us as we rely on him to help us accomplish His work. I know that with him all things are possible. I will be able to truly see the Love God have for many people in Huntington Beach. I Love this work and I am grateful for the opportunity I have to serve with all my heart, might, mind and strength. We are always in the Lords hands. Let Him be your guide and He will guide you safely home to His presence.  I love you all. Hope that you have a wonderful week.

Serving in YSA

Dear Family and Friends,

This week has been one of learning and growth for me. I have been able to truly rely on the Lord this week. My companion's name is Sister Castleberry from Sandy, Utah. She is amazing. We have been learning the area surely but slowly. It has been quite interesting. This week most of the ward went on a canoe trip, so we didn't get to meet them until Sunday. We have been trying to contact less active this week and trying to find through the members.  We have seen many miracles happen this week. 

We have been learning the Area. I have been trying to find everything using the map (a skill I wish that I had learned before my mission) this ward has had a lot of really good things happening lately they have had a few baptism happen this past month and the members are on fire. I am super excited to see work in this ward we have some Returned missionaries that have expressed a desire to come to lessons with and many other members.  I am looking forward to this wonderful transfer. I am learning that the Lord puts us where he needs us to help us become what we need to become and to give us the opportunity to help those who need our help. 

I love serving the Lord with all my heart. I am sure that he knows us he is there to help us become what he wants us to become. I am happy to work with them members of the Huntington beach YSA ward. I love y'all and hope that you have a great week.

Love,

Transfer News

Dear Family and Friends,

We had Zone conference this last week and we have Elder Ardern come to the mission. He spoke a lot about working hard and making sure that we are remembering what we stand for you.

This upcoming transfer I will be  moving to the Huntington Beach YSA ward. I will be Splitting the Ward with the current Elders, Elders Austin and Burden, who are currently serving in the YSA ward. I am so excited to be able to serve with the Young Single Adults in Huntington Beach. I don't know who my companion will be because I will be training this upcoming transfer. 

 

These last  few months I have been able to truly see the Lord's hand in the work. I have been able to see that He knows His children. He knows how to help them. He is the perfect father. He will provide a way for everyone to have to opportunity to receive the Gospel.  I have been able to taste the Fruit mentioned in the Book of Mormon by the prophet Lehi in 1 Nephi chapter 8 where he says " And as I partook of the fruit thereof it filled my soul with exceedingly great joy;... for I knew that it was desirable about all that I had ever tasted." I have been about able to see the love of our Heavenly Father and our Savior. I have seen how much he loves each of us. I love the Lord and I am so happy to see His work continue in Huntington Beach. I love you all and Hope that you have a fantastic week.

Love,

The joy of hearing the prophet's voice

Dear Family and friends,

 

This week has been a very good. We were able to see hear from the prophet and the apostles of the church. It was a joy to be able to hear to things that God would have us hear at this time. The Lord is in control of all things, we should find joy in His plan for us. I love the wonderful opportunities that we have been given to be able to hear from the prophets and apostles of God. 

This week we have Bertha come to the Sunday Morning Session of Conference. She was taking notes during the session. She is excited to continue to learn about the Restored Gospel.   We are working on help her understand the commandments. We are hoping to see her this week and have her come to church. 

 

I have seen joy in the work of the Lord this week I have been enjoying the work of the Lord it has been very  hard but it has been a joy. I love this work and I love this gospel. The Gospel of Jesus Christ as restored to the Prophet Joseph Smith answer our questions about where we are going and where we can from and why we are here? I am so grateful for my ancestors who accepted to the Gospel in their lives when they heard it so that I have the opportunity to have this glorious Gospel in my live. I am also grateful for the wonderful family members and friends who have been an continual example to me. I love you all and hope that y'all have a great week. Remember that God is always watching over  you. He loves you. He will not leave us on our own. 

 

Love,

My District in Huntington Beach

Temple P-day and Conference time

Dear Family and Friends,

 

Well another wonderful week in the Great California Long Beach Mission. This week was kind of rough. One of our investigators told us this week that he would like so much to read the Book of Mormon to help him understand it.  We will continue to invite him to activities at church and continue to invite him to come to church with us in the hopes that he sees the light of the Gospel. 

We had another investigator, Bertha, who asked a question about the Word of Wisdom a few weeks ago and we thought that that would be the best lesson to teach her. When we invited her to live the Word of Wisdom she said that she already was trying to live it. She had started drinking coffee every other day rather than every day. It was very cool to see her change and have faith enough to try before we even ask/tell her about the commandment of the Word of Wisdom. She also went to Women's conference on Saturday.

 

This week we had the primary program at church on Sunday, which means that the children from ages 8 to 11  sing and talk in sacrament meeting about things that they have learned over the year. It was so good. 

 

Women's conference, as many of you know, was this Saturday. Women's conference is where the women ages 8 and up meet together to hear from the General Authorities. We heard from women serving in the Relief Society, Young Women, and Primary presidency. One of my favorite talks was by Sister Carole M Stephens called the Master Healer. I love how she spoke of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and how it is through Christ that we can be healing and how we can find comfort and peace.

Adventures of the Week!!!

Dear Family and Friends,

 

This week has been quite an adventure. On Monday night of last week we got a text message from some elders in  Long Beach telling us to call them when we had a change to. They called to ask if we would be able to come to a lesson with them. They had investigators that were from Brazil and they wanted us to come to a lesson to help them teach. Sister Cotrim has been able to speak her native language.  It has been so cool to watch her. She is amazing. I know that God has a purpose for us all. 

 

We were able to teach Debbie and begin the after baptism lessons. She is excited about the gospel. They will be going to Hawaii for the week, so we will not be seeing them this week. 

 

Bertha:  We were able to meet with her this week. We read the Book of Mormon with her.   

 

Carla: We have not been able to see her this week. She is excited to learn about the Gospel. 

 

Love you all and hope that you have a great week.

 

Love,

Jennifer

P. S. Next week we will be going to the Temple next week so P-day will be Tuesday.

Miracles and Blessings

Dear Family and Friends,

 

I have seen so many miracles this week. Yesterday we have three investigators at church. The Lord is amazing. I know that the Lord is preparing his children. 

Carla we were able to meet with on Friday and teach her. She is so excited  to learn about the Gospel. She has found ways to get to church on her own. It has been really amazing seeing my companion speak her native tongue to help Carla learn the Gospel. I am not sure what is being said in the lessons but the spirit is there and that is the most important part. 

 

Bertha came to sacrament meeting yesterday she is very excited about the Gospel. during our lesson with her this week. She asked us a question about the Word of Wisdom and we were able to tell her about it. She also answered her own question about it. I have loved watching her grow in as she learns more about the Gospel.  

 

I know that the Lord is mindful of his children. He loves us and he will bless us we only need to open our eyes to see those blessings. I know that he will help all his children to be  as happy as we can be.

 

Love,

Sister McGarry III

P.S. Debbie is doing well she has received a calling in the Church and she is excited to her calling. 

Emaling in the library

HB Rules!!

Dear Family and Friends,

 

Well... It's been a great week. We have seen many things happen. President Patterson is pushing for us to find through members. We have done a lot of finding this week. We have found through our own efforts. We are trying to work with members more and more. It has been good. 

 

Today we will be cleaning out our apartments. President has asked us to take everything that will not fit in two suitcases and a carry-on bag out of our apartment. It's going to be good. 

The Zone is very good. We have a great mix of Greenies (new missionaries) and experienced missionaries. It is good for the zone. It has been good.  

 

Huntington Beach is amazing!!!! 

Love,  
Sister McGarry III

Dear Family and Friends,

Transfer have come up again.  I will be staying in Cordata Park and Huntington Beach for yet another six weeks. My companion will be Sister Cotrim. 

Debbie was Baptized on Saturday. It was so good. I have been able to watch her grow so much. I am so happy to be here.  She is so bright. I am excited to stay here in Cordata Park to see the work continue to move forward.

Other investigators;

Bertha is came to Debbie's Baptism on Saturday. It was so good for her to be able to see the baptism. She also came to Sacrament meeting.  We have been trying to get her to come to church for the longest time. We taught her about Keep the Sabbath day Holy and she said it makes sense now. 

Mark was a referral that we recieved from the missionary referral system. We texted him to see if they was another time that  we could come by to see him. We  contacted him and taught him that day. 

Set another time that we to see him.

We will find Peace in His Outstretched Arms

Dear Family and Friends,

I was quite shocked when I received a phone call from Sister Patterson on Tuesday Morning. She  passed on the news that my Grandma Ruth finished her life here and went to see Grandpa Dell Monday night. It was a hard call to receive honestly. I am so grateful for my wonderful companion who watched my facial expression as I heard this news. She put her herself into my shoes and felt the pain.  She even cried longer than I did that morning. I have felt peace this entire week. I know that Grandma Ruth is in a better place. I am felt the Lord's love surrounding me this week. I have learned so much from my Grandmother just as Jacob said she was/is an amazing woman. She taught me to love all people. She taught me how to love. Her example is one that I will always remember.

 I am so happy that I have been able to serve the Lord at this time. There is one other place I would rather be. I know that God has a purpose for all things. I am happy because I know that my Grandma is no longer in pain, she is free. I am so happy for the Plan of Salvation that God have given us. He will send angel to guide us and to lift us up. He will send us a peace that we cannot find anywhere else. 

Now to report on the Lord's Work in the Cordata Park ward:

Debbie is getting baptized on Saturday. She is so prepared by the Lord. I have loved watching her change and grow in the Gospel. I am so happy that I have been able to be an instrument is God's hands and to help her enter into the convent of Baptism. I  have been able to see her change and to see her enthusiasm to be baptized and it has been a testimony builder for me knowing that God is preparing His Children everywhere. 

Bertha is an investigator my companion and I picked up a few weeks ago. We have been able to teach her about the Plan of Salvation. My companion while on exchanges was able to set a baptismal date with her for September 24th. We will continue to prepare her for this date.  She has very strong faith in Christ and has a desire to change her life for the better. 

As I mentioned earlier we also went on exchanges this week, I learned and saw miracles on exchanges. I went on exchanges with Sister Poulson. She is a Greenie! I loved watching her enthusiasm about sharing the Gospel.

We were able able to see a miracle yesterday night, we went by a less active member to try and see him. But we ended up talked to his daughter who is also a member of the church. We shared with her Alma 7:11-13 and the Spirit was so strong, we invited her to pray and ask Heavenly Father if he is there for her. I know that He knows us.

I know that God loves each of His children and that His plan is a perfect plan. He knows us. He can help us. He is waiting for us to come unto Him. As we come unto Christ we will find peace in His loving embrace. I know that the Plan of Salvation is real. I am grateful for the Knowledge of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, which tells us that Families are Forever. 

Love,

Sister McGarry III
