Skype

Words cannot express the joy and gratitude I have experienced this Christmas!  It was soooo wonderful to "see" Sister Berryman!  She looks and sounds fantastic and I know she is where she belongs!  I am grateful for all the members who have looked after her and her companions and pray that I can do the same for our missionaries here! 

 I love her!  I miss her!  I am thankful for her example! 

Christmas 2014! (Only 12 months to go!)

 This is how they show up to a member's house for Christmas!  
Thanks, Hanks family!  We sure appreciate you!!
 Typical Sister B. style


Merry Christmas!

SIX months!

 It doesn't seem like it has been six months!  We sure do love and miss her!

Hello!
 
So this week we had a nativity festival and we came up with an idea to wrap boms up but it didn't work out so well though:/ warning this is a tantrum moment: this lady from the other ward in Peach Tree City, was like youre not giving those out are you? and she told us to put them away and not give any out -_- she was so rude about it and asked us not to come back the next night and we were like well we have investigators scheduled to come both nights... and she was like oh yeah that's understandable there's just so many of you missionaries here blah blah and as we left she was like thank you for not doing that, and we were like oh sure it's just our mission pres thought it was a good idea and she was like we may just have to call him (in my head I was like "How bout no" good luck with that) haha and our plan was we werent going to pass them out to like everyone just if they asked to have one, So Friday that happened, then Saturday we go there and she gives us the dirtiest look ever and we mentioned it to our WML, he went to talk to her but before he could bring the situation up she did....we weren't planning on talking more about it to people but then on Sunday we had ward correlation and they were saying oh what could we do better for next year's festival and the relief society president was like we need to give more stuff out like bom's and pass along cards etc.. and we were like we weren't allowed to and told them what happened haha and now our Bishop is going to see what the issue is :P now the ward council members (who were in the meeting) tease us about it saying like you can't go proselyting, or hey what's that book of Mormon in your hand put that away haha I love this ward. And I can handle rejection, but to get rejection from a member in the church was what made me upset, okay tantrum done...
Yes I can Skype both of you! and I am so excited to see your faces! :) and Russell! I can't believe Tess is a mom now! #weird but more exciting! :)
to end on a good note we have two new investigators! haha
Have a good week everyone! LOVE!

New Companion

Hey Hey!
 
This week I have been a little under the weather! 
Sister Tavenner went home, I didn't realize how hard it would be to say bye to her! My child is Sister Davis! she is 21 and is from Colorado! I love her so much! We are going to have so much fun together. Today is Sister Carlson's birthday! we blew up balloons and filled them in the hallway and when we were doing our study's this morning we just heard her laughing haha it was the cutest thing to hear that! were going to the store to get more stuff she likes, unfortunately she is allergic to gluten so lots of candy and no bday cake.
 
We have 3 investigators on date! As of last week! Please pray for Christina Hardman and Rayna and Jacob! It's weird to be a senior companion now, but I realized how fast I adjusted to the work and being a missionary. I love this Gospel! and I love you all!
-Sister Berryman
 

Farewell

Our last few days together before she gets to go home!

Hey Momma! How are you?

This week was good! But long we had to still work and knock on doors we met a woman named Karen who's husband died the day before thanksgiving I felt so terrible for her I asked if we could pray with her and she said yes and then afterwards I told her I knew that she'd be bale to see her husband again. and we gave her our information to contact us, she had still been on my mind the next day, and we had dinner at a members home on Friday, we had left overs from there dinner on Thursday and she gave us a whole entire pumpkin pie we dropped by Karens and  gave it to her, her whole family was there and they all had smiles on their faces and she gave us a hug and thanked us. that was the high light of the week!:)
This transfer I will no longer be an STL! I am sad but  it was fun to do a ton of exchanges with 2 set of sisters we had! Things will probs change over here 22 missionaries are going home and 12 are coming in. I have a bigger responsibility now, I will be training a greenie! I'm gonna be a mom! (That's missionary logo) my daughter will be here Wednesday! and I am nervous and excited at the same time, I still feel brand new!
Oh and Friday Erica our Recent convert asked us to help with Christmas decorations and I felt right at home doing that:)
And we will be Skyping on Christmas day some time, depending on when I have dinner at a members home and we will be skyeping while im at the members home :) and they will probably be able to text you and warn you when I will be calling :)
I love you!
Love,
Sister Berryman

Elder Kopishke

Hey!
This week was great Elder Kopishke came and we got to have three meetings with him....HOLY ENLIGHTMENT!!! He is so amazing!  and Sister Kopishke is the sweetest cutest thing ever!:) and they have good humor. 
Also Elder Parker from the 70 was here as well
 
Wednesday we had Zone conference with him and talked about missionary work and faith. He really likes to involve the whole congregation to participate so it's more of a discussion with everyone. He told us that this mission is the best at finding new investigators, but we are not keeping those investigators because we have the same number of baptisms for other missions who aren't the best at finding so he advised some things for us to do to keep our investigators.
 
Thursday was a fireside for all the church member and missionaries investigators and less actives were invited, he talked about how we need to help bring people come closer to Christ, one lady asked "How do I help my children come closer to Christ, if they have been raised in the church, and don't want to do anything with the church?" Elder Parker answered the question and said "We have to love them and continue to pray for them and put their name on the prayer roll for the Temple" and Elder Kopishke said "Elder Parker is right, Lehi was the father of Nephi and Sam but he was also the father of Laman and Lemuel. Adam had Cain and Abel" And it made me think of our inactive family members, and how we have to love them, and it also made me happy, because all I really knew what to do for them;  to pray and love and put them on the temple roll, and I am glad that I have been doing the right thing for them. He also mentioned that they have their own agency and it is their choice if they want to be with us as a family for forever. So just keeping doing your part Mom :)
 
Friday we had Mission Leadership Council (For Zone leaders and Sister Training Leaders)
which they attended to as well. Elder Kopishke mentioned that this meeting is the MOST important meeting in the Mission. He told us not be Policemen but a friend as a Sister Training Leader. Which is what I have been trying to do for the sisters that I am over because I am no better than them.
 
I got to see Sister Manzer! (mtc comp.) and Sister Smith! (mtc roommate)
 
That pretty much sums up the week!
Love you!
-Sister Berryman

Zone Sisters

SO this week was great We had Mission Leadership Council, then we went to the temple and had zone training, we also had the ward trunk or treat and chili cook off and one of our investigators came! Other members invited non member friends. 
It was a really good turn out.
 Saturday was our first exchange with a set of sisters in our zone. We planned to exchange at a certain time and  they were an hour and 15 min. late they were doing service with some one who gave them a ride and then after they did service the family they were with decided to go out and eat so they were stuck with them, then as we exchange, Sister Charlesworth, who I was with for the day we went and saw a potential, but we didn't get to teach her cuz she was sleeping (her son had answered the door) so we go back to the car to find out Sister Charlesworth locked the phone and keys in the car...SO we walked back up to the house we were at asked to use the phone, and thank goodness I had our phone number memorized! The potential had just woken up so we ended up teaching the restoration, and we finally got in touch with my Companion Sister Tavenner and Sister Stone in Sharpsburg. They said they would drive to the mission office in Peachtree City to get the spare key and drive back to where we were to unlock the car, so while we waited we knocked doors and found some investigators!:) My companion arrived after awhile and we decide the best thing to do because of miles, we would set goals on how to improve and exchange back. As we closed with a prayer they walk out of our car and it's the wrong key! Hahaha so we had to drive all the way back to the office, which is closed on Saturdays, but the A.P's met us there and gave us two different keys to try, so as we are on our way back to the area of where there car is, the vehicle coordinator calls us back and he asks what key the A.P's gave us and we told him and he was like nope those are not the right ones...turn around Haha so we had to go back and get the right key. We were in the car the whole day on Saturday pretty much, but I am grateful it was the beginning of the month so that we had the miles to drive and with the few hours we were on exchanges with we did learn a lot and we did some how make progress in each others area:) It was awesome :)
That was the most entertaining thing that happened this week! :)


I am freezing! 
(It's officially fall and I am forever an Arizona girl!)

Today we are going laser tagging and roller skating with all the sister in the zone and eating lunch at a members home I will take pictures!

Sister Training Leader!

First off...Thank you SO SO SO SO much for sending me those winter clothes! I am so grateful! and I really do appreciate it! it was nice getting something from home! :)
 
So I just got called to be a Sister Training Leader! holy smokes I am so nervous! 
I am almost shaking!
 
My week was good this week, it was pretty slow but great #nowalkwednesday on our mission (where we don't walk but run everywhere) was interesting this week we have been doing it for two months now and I guess i was really clumsy that day because I fell twice hahaha! The first  time I was walking down the stairs to our basement with a bowl of rice and veggies and at the last two steps I slipped backwards and rice went every where haha I felt bad for my comp cuz we spent most of our lunch time cleaning it up. Then while we were running from house to house later that evening I biffed it and busted me knee and elbow it was bleeding like crazy! Thank goodness the Cluff's were home and cleaned/patched me up!  We also got to go on exchanges with all of the other sisters in our zone for a whole day, we get to know them, see how they teach and talk to people and help them on the things they need/want to focus on to be more effective and to progress in the work :)

We are teaching these two kids 10 and 12 and there story is complicated we teach them every other weekend cuz that's when they spend time with their mom but they are planning to be baptized in December! They're mom (Jessica) isn't a member and isn't ready for baptism yet, but she is letting the kids!


 Georgia is also ghetto(the broken freezer door)

Only Sister Berryman!

Hey Ya'll!

Hey hey hey! This week was a roller coaster!
Sister p-day was so fun we played glow in the dark capture the flag. Sisters are dangerous, bruises haha but it was so fun! Tuesday we went to the temple and watched Meet the Mormons! My favorite is the candy bomber story, it made me cry...and also the story of the missionary mom of course. They were all great stories though!
Exchanges with the STL's was great! I forgot a picture sorry about that.
I got to go with Sister Fennel in PTC, they have four sisters in one appt. and they are they ones on bikes, they share the car and bike every other day when they don't have the car.
Thank you so much for sending me a package! and a letter! I have really need something from home or even just the family. I haven't been getting anything from anyone it seems and you all seem so far away right now. but I did hear from Adam and he told me about boy :(
Thanks for the pics! It's nice they threw yuh a party before you left! I miss chatting with you but I guess I have to wait until December to see y'alls face and hear y'alls voices...
Right now I am hangin in there by a chain it seems..at least not by a string right ;) or a rope :) I love you and miss you! 
I can't wait to get you package tomorrow!!!!!

*Sorry no photos :( When I get some, I will definitely post!*

Slow Week

This week has been very slow. We have had the opportunity to knock doors more than usual this week which was great! We also got to walk a lot do to the fact that our miles are low for the month. Saturday was the day to report the people we invite to be baptize, and report it to the Zl's. We were in a neighborhood and Sister Tavenner and I were like okay we are going to talk with everyone we see and invite them!....hours went by and we were able to pray with two different people but they wouldn't let us talk about the Restoration/Book of Mormon or anything. My companion and I were going to be picked up by a member to an appt. to teach an investigator (which got canceled because she was sleeping haha :) )and we couldn't believe there was no progress. We decided to say a prayer, and that we would be able to talk with those who want to hear our message, and that we would be able to invite them to be baptized. And within minutes, two men who are yard workers pulled up near a house we were standing at and we met Freddy and Nelson! (They speak Spanish more and they are not in our area) but Nelson was seemed excited! And even though it was hard to communicate with him, we some how got his number and address to give as a referral! It was amazing to see how quick our prayer was answered. I kind of wish I was a sister speaking Spanish here because we have found 3 families this month who speak Spanish and we had to give them to the Spanish Elders haha but I know I am meant to speak English hear :) The Lord is so amazing!
I know he watches over all of us, and I testify that we are not alone when we are finding there is an army with us that is not seen but you can feel them :) And as for this week, it is going to be amazing.
We are telling everyone about General Conference and our goal is to pass out at least 100 invitations if not more to come see and watch the Prophet.
We have one investigator who will be watching and this week we are trying to get our other investigator to watch it:)
Saturday's General Women's conference was amazing and so enlightening! I loved the international video about all the sisters talking about their feelings and testimonies about the Temple and how families are forever. I am so excited for this Saturday and Sunday!!!!

Last Week

 
 
 
So this week was amazing!!!! Christian the LA I talked about last week, we took a long shot and asked him to go on team up and he said he would meet us there! usually he looks like a redneck with cool-aid on his shirt and dip in his mouth but when we got there he was wearing shiny boots, and shirt and  a tie! he brought his scriptures! and a book that Hinckley wrote about Faith and gave the book to our investigator...my comp. and I were like "WHAT?!" #miracleshappen he is slowly comin' around :)

We knocked on a door last week as well and we did our normal door approach. We asked if we could pray with her and I asked if there was anything she wanted us to add in the blessing, she said no. So I began to pray for her and her family, and anything they stand in need of at this time in their lives etc.. and after I said amen. She was in tears. She seemed like in a rush but she asked for a pamphlet about The Restoration, and I gave her a pass-along card with our number on it. My comp. asked if there was anything we could for her, and her reply was "No you've done it" and after we left me and my comp. were silent thinking what just happened haha and then Sister Tavenner says, "Way to make her cry" (jokingly) haha  But after that I realized, even if we didn't talk to her about the Restored Gospel. or invite her to be baptized (We are supposed to do it 2-3 invites a day) She felt the Spirit! We planted a seed for her, and now  she has a little information on our message, and she has our number. And even though we didn't get to share much with her, her words "No you've don't it" were satisfying to me, because we were able to still fulfill our calling. And it was a testimony builder to me:)

The family we found last week that was on date to be baptized but decided they were not interested anymore.But we found another family yesterday (please pray for the Aranes Family...Im not sure if that is how you spell there name but the Dad's name is Carlos) 
We found them yesterday! And because we are short on our miles we walked 10 miles yesterday, and we talked with everyone!

We had Stake conference this weekend. That was amazing! The Saturday session I would have to say was the best there were 2 youth speakers, President and Sister Harding spoke (they are in our stake) and the 1st and 2nd counselors from the stake spoke as well. and it was all about hastening The Work. pretty crazy! 
The Sunday Session was good, it was hard to hear the speakers though but it was mainly about Jesus Christ and God and there love for us.

This morning we taught a woman named Angelia we brought a member (sister Carlson) who we live with and it was pretty intense. Sis. Carlson started out with her testimony. then We talked about Jesus Christ, because that was the topic Angelia wanted to talk about. Then the trinity subject came up. Which is something that Angelia believes in and she seems to KNOW that there is only one God. There were many references shown in the Bible that she had shown that there is only one god and we Shared some that there is proof that they are three separate beings. And Sis. Carlson was getting mad and my comp. was getting irritated, then Sister Tavenner mentioned Joseph Smith and I was able to quote the first vision and the spirit was so strong. And I was in tears and Sis. Carlson was in tears and then I just said one of the reasons how I know they are separate is because Joseph Smith said he saw 2 personages. Not one, but two. And that I have prayed about it, and I mentioned we can go back and forth on these references all day trying to prove each other our beliefs but we interpret them differently. And we invited her to pray about. I was glad that I was able to testify. And even though she didn't feel the spirit, I knew I needed to share it with her. We did end on good terms. She did take a Book of Mormon and a pamphlet and some references in the Bible. I'm just grateful that I was able to testify to her about the 1st vision and about Joseph Smith. I don't know if we will ever see her again because she was testing our Faith, and worried about our eternal salvation. I just hope for her and pray for her that she'll have the desire to know one day if not now in her life..
 
I love this Gospel!

So Happy!


This week was good it was slower, we had zone conf. and the missionary mall.
A member took us to 5 Guys which made me so happy!
Sunday was great...we had to teach the lesson it was about missionary work so that was easy
We had exchanges with the traveling sisters again. MIRACLES happened! President Harding wanted us to find families, and try to get them a date before General Conf. Which sounds crazy..but we made it happen! Although they are on date for OCT.11 which is after General Conference. :) and we have 5 new investigators total for the week. I love when we do exchanges with the Traveling Sisters because they stay in our area, and so its double the work that happens. I wish we could do it more often haha :) We got some rain this week but not a lot... it's been really nice the past few days though!
Tell everyone "Hello" and "I love them!"

Amazing!



This week was amazing! On Wed. we helped clean a recent convert's home...yeah it wasn't the cleanest house..but Sister Tavenner and I made the best out if it! The lady had us clean the counters, and her floor..and she has a dog and cats and they had left "gifts" all over the kitchen floor and the living room...who knows how long it was there, but it was smelly. She had also purchased Swiffer wipes for us to mop the floor but they were the wrong kind! haha and so I mopped where it wasn't contaminated first so we didn't spread any germs around the whole kitchen...and then we got to the dirty mess and had to move the kitchen table cuz it was all underneath the table, and my comp and I were like this Swiffer stuff is not goin to clean this bacteria..So I ask the Lady if she has any vinegar and she couldn't find any. So we ended up using this spray stuff that was orange we had used to wipe the counter down and we sprayed it on the floor..then it was too bubbly and soapy! haha so we had to poor water to tame it down and my comp. and I were slipping every with our shoes on because the whole floor was wet and we could only be there for an hour so we had to walk on the wet part...it was the funniest thing cuz I was mopping and sister Tavenner was pouring water in front of me walking on the wet part, and she was trying not to slip and fall (it was a you had to of been there moment) but anyways...Thursday was a long day we had to go to a ford dealer that was out of our area..we waited like 20 miles...and the guy fixed the oil button thingy in like 2 seconds! so we realized we could've just called them instead of drove all the way there, and because we had spent so many miles we ended up walkin 5 miles and saw a ton of members in our ward and they were all honkin at us and it was hot and humid but it was fun :) I crashed that night! Friday we did exchanges with the STL's and that was interesting I stayed and had to drive we had a good lesson with one of our investagators, and she is thinking about being baptized this month! And she said she believes that its is true! Sis. Tavenner went with Sis. lortz to the ysa ward and Sis. Lorts got bit by a dog.. so they didn't have a productive day cuz you have to report it as a missionary no matter how bad it is. and then she went to urgent care and all that jazz so she was excited to come back. Then on Saturday we helped Sister Singleton (relief society pres.) with the missionary mall that they are doing...(the whole stake is donating clothes, shampoo and conditioner, body wash, tooth paste tooth brushes etc...for sisters and elders) and she needed help to organize everything out she fed us lunch. And then we helped another member with his lawn and he taught me how to mow!!!! both ways on the motor and the pushing way...man it was a work out. but it was fun! So far my comp. and I are staying together this next transfer so I should be stayin in Sharpsburg! :) we haven't heard anything yet so that is what we are assuming :)
I love you guys and I am so grateful for you and your prayers! I love this opportunity to serve The Lord and to spread The Gospel. It has been such a HUGE blessing to meet new people here in GA!

Pray



Sorry this post is late...


Being out here, you truly carry other people's burdens, because that is what Christ did when he was on the earth.  This work is so important!  The people that you encounter could be in the worst stage of their lives...they are not happy...
they don't have the bigger picture, which includes the gospel, like we do.
 Please pray for the investigators!  They need our prayers!
 
Try to FEED THE MISSIONARIES often!!!  They'll love it! Don't let them stay longer than 1 hour though, They'll be disobedient if they do :)  Have them be your best friends! 
 I love the families out here :)

I have grown so much from being out here and it's only been about 3 months!  CRAZY!  I love being here!  I love Georgia!  

Sister Carlson has a tire swing and we jumped on it for about 20 minutes-my arms were so sore the next day!

To all my family and friends, keep those letters and cards coming! 
 They sure do make my day!  
I love y'all!





Photos via ward members!

My companion and I got to spend Labor Day with The Hank Family in our ward!  They had a guitar!  Lucky me!  I haven't touched one in almost 3 months!

I am so thankful for ward members and their cell phones!  A surprise photo every now and then makes my day!  I know Sister Berryman is meant to be in Georgia! #misshertons

Illness


Sister Berryman had to visit the doctor mid week and was put on bed rest due to an infection.  She is on the mend and hopefully will return to work within a few days.  She is taking this time "stuck at home" with her companion to get to know her companion better and to continue studying.  Please continue to pray for her.

She loves  receiving your letters from home:

Atonement



 So I was told some thing along the lines by President that if you study the atonement, and have a better testimony, you will be able to teach others to bring them unto repentance...I tried that this morning, and even though the scriptures talked about a little about the atonement, (where I was reading) the Savior was speaking, and he said that he had sacrificed, so that we can have joy and the spirit just hit me. 
The power of the atonement is so real, and so great, it is SOOOO important for every soul. 
Jesus Christ is so perfect I am so grateful for his endless love, and for his sacrifices. when I am reminding myself who I represent, I remember my Savior, and try to have his same mindset, and even though I'll never understand what he truly went through. 
I have a knowledge of some of it and it has helped me have love for his people, I have connected with people that I would have never connected with before my mission. And trying to lift burdens up from people in our ward, or our investigators, anyone who we cross paths with, and I find so much joy! And I know it is only because THIS IS HIS WORK. And I am more effective when I have the Holy Ghost with me. 
I can truly feel his love not only for me but for everyone else. 
And that Heavenly Father truly has a plan for everyone on this earth and part of that plan is for everyone to accept the Savior and receive God's greatest gifts! And Endure to the End. 
I can testify that as we study the atonement, even just a little bit, we will have a stronger testimony of it, and as we have a testimony of it, we are able to teach with the spirit and to bring others unto repentance and be baptized, and help finish the plan that God has in store for each individual on this earth, and for every family.
Our baptism was great! President Harding actually Baptized her! 
She wanted to sing one of her favorite hymn's but it was a Baptist one (ha ha) so my comp. and I got it approved to sing it as a special musical number for her and she loved it!
Thank goodness... 
There was a ward party that same after noon and it was great turn out we had some investigators there as well, and President showed up to that too-with his son who is 11.
We had four investigators come to church. We are still trying to get more member involved and motivated in the work. It's a slow progress but it's progressing! :) 
I miss y'all so much! Thank you for all the prayers!
Funny story- so the Elders had to open up the church for us to fill up the font (cuz we don't have a key) and there were crickets in the water (yes I know #ew) and one of the Elders was trying to get them all out and one cricket kept hopping back into the water every time he got it out its was so funny!!
LOVE

New companion and a baptism!

My first baptism as a missionary!
 Well I am living in Sharpsburg, GA. It is more "in town" than Griffin...and I am still adjusting to my new area.  We walk most of the time, because everything is so close.  Thank you, Cloud Creek Ward, for my plaque!  I love it!

Please write me!

My 2nd companion! Sister Tavenner!

I never claimed to be a good photographer!

TIme to Transfer!?


Me and Sister Diehl with our humid hair!

Pres. and Sister Harding
Once upon a time there were four sets of missionaries in Griffin ward....then they decided to take one set completely out, which happens to be our set (The Hampton sisters) So my trainer's time is up and she goes home this week... 
Then because they are getting rid of missionaries in Hampton,
I get to be transferred too:( I found out yesterday and it hit me like a train ha ha I was not expecting that at all!
I was so sad to be leaving! I still am...BUT I'm excited to see a new area too and to see what my 2nd trainer is like... I'm glad i was "born" in griffin (mission lingo) it's like moving someone that is giving birth that was in one hospital...
to another hospital ha ha ha.....
and so because no sisters will be in our apartment we have to clear literally everything out..And yes I got your package! I love it!
I started hanging pics up and the banner up and made everything "homie" and then they kick me out ha ha ha! 
Please tell everyone not to write or send anything for a week!  Until I get my new address!
