TRANSFERS

 Hello everyone!!


I'm already at the end of my first transfer and bro, it flew by. Coming off the airplane literally feels like last week... it's crazy!

This last week has been my favorite week on the Mission so far. I was really struggling before this week, just feeling like I'm not a good missionary, and feeling inadequate. But this week I have felt the lord strengthen me and remind me that this is his work, these are his children, and he wants to use me to help them feel his love for them.

An awesome thing that happened this week is Gift getting baptized!! This was such a miracle because we actually didn't think it would be happening this week. There were some questions he had that we just didn't know how to help him understand. So we had an amazing member join one of our lessons, and he helped Gift understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a PERFECT way, and Gift was finally at peace with his concern!! Then he had his baptismal interview and he was ready to go! It was so special, and after he kept saying he felt so so good.

This week I had so many cool experiences feeling the spirit guide me to people who needed to hear about Jesus Christ. The Gospel message is for everyone! We all have something that we are struggling with. There are so many things about life that are hard and I know for a FACT, that knowing Jesus Christ, and following him can give us peace, joy, comfort, and fulfillment. I will share a scripture that I shared with someone at the mall yesterday that helped him feel God's love for him.

Alma 18
32 And Ammon said: Yea, and he looketh down upon all the children of men; and he knows all the thoughts and intents of the heart; for by his hand were they all created from the beginning.

This simple scripture helped him realize that he is not alone, that he is perfectly known and seen by a loving Heavenly Father. I know this is true with my whole heart. I know he loves all of you so much, turn to him, he is there and wants to help you.

Love you all send me emails I love hearing from you!

Sister Dean❤️

Joel, Nick, and Tristan! I met Joel last transfer with Sister Bingham in a library, we met Nick last week and put him on date our first lesson, hes so awesome. Tristan I met at Kipling station.

 Hello again, I feel like im emailing you guys everyday, P-day just keeps coming up faster and faster. But it's good im excited to update y'all on everything.  This week was so good we now have 4 friends on date! They are all amazing and have strengthened my testimony of this gospel so so much. I'm so excited for them! Monday to Tuesday I exchanged with our STLs. I was with Sister Johnson!! I love her she's awesome and such a diligent missionary I learned so much from her. We taught one of our friends about the 10 commandments and when we said thou shall not Kill, he said we shouldn't kill with knife, but in Nigeria, we kill with gun... Yeah that was crazy so we had to make sure he knew any killing is against the commandments🤣 then we had FHE and we played telestrations! It was fun but it's definitely more fun with my family. And yesterday we got WingStop! Idk if you guys have ever tried it... but it is literally the best chicken tenders ive ever had. I got the...

Farewell and Setting Apart

 Shelby was so nervous to give her talk, but she did amazing! Her testimony is powerful. She talked of building a relationship with Jesus Christ. Her testimony of serving in the temple was sincere and strong. It was an amazing talk, as if she has already gone and served! The Dean girls; Mom, Emily, Ellee, Hailey and Aubrey sang the song Because, by Shawna Edwards. It was a beautiful song that added the spirit to the meeting. Finally, President Lootens spoke, and he told of how much he loves Shelby and the Dean family. It was a nice tribute. We had an open house here at our home, where wonderful friends and family came: The Lee's, Grandma and Grandpa Martin, Jordan, The Hubbards, The Walkers,  The Waltons, The Rodriguezs, The Ackroyds, Sebastian Badara, Karam, and Sarah Pender. We ate Ham sliders and 6 different salads and desserts. After the opening house, we made our way to the stake center where Shelbys was set apart as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-d...
