The Georgia Atlanta Mission is the best place in the world!! I just spent four months as a Social Media Specialist for our mission and, as such, I got to see a completely different side of missionary work for a while. I just got transferred to Sandy Springs, which is the area with the temple, and we also cover a YSA. The YSA members are amazing and so willing to share their testimonies.
In the past few months I have come to learn that nothing I do can mess up the Lord's work. Absolutely nothing. I spent a lot of time early in my mission questioning if I was really giving my all and really doing enough, but He has reassured me time and time again that this is His work and nothing can stop it. He does all of the heavy lifting. He doesn't need us, He lets us be part of His work because He knows this is how we grow and this is where we find more joy than anywhere else. The biggest thing I have learned on my mission is that Christ really changes people. His Atonement is real and more powerful than anything else in this life. He has changed me completely! I love doing His work!
Love,
Hermana Wade

For an update, I'm loving my areas right now. As of last transfer me and my Bolivian comp, Elder Equice, have 2 areas. They are called Jardim California and Vila Angelica. We just had a baptism and we are planning on marking several dates here in the next few weeks. The work is awesome. I'm getting a hang of Portuguese a little better so that's nice. But I'm doing good and I hope all is good back home in the Homestead ward!

Homestead what is up, I hope you're all doing well!
For most that probably don't know I got my visa and moved to Zimbabwe about a month ago and it's been so sweet. I have been so grateful to get the chance to serve the people in Zimbabwe. It is definitely a lottt different from Midway, but its been so cool to be able to learn and Immerse myself here in their culture and just love the people here in Zimbabwe. Christmas unfortunately isn't quite the same as Christmas in the hallmark town that midway is. But with little to snow, Christmas lights and trees and your classic Christmas festivities, its definitely made me spend this time to really focus on the importance of Christ and learning more about Christs birth and how amazing it was. The people here use Christmas to really focus on Jesus here instead of Santa and Christmas presents and I love it and think its super cool! Besides that the work has been great and the people here have been so amazing to teach.
I love and miss you all and hope you all had an amazing Christmas season!
God Speed to you all,
-Elder Childs

I'm doing great I am serving in a city called Lași now and I've been here for about a month. The branch is small but growing and I've been blessed to be able to work with Elder and Sister Ward lately and seeing them always gives me a taste of home a bit. I love Romania and I love our members here hurrah pentru Israel!
