God is a God of Miracles!!

GOOD MORNING AMERICA!!! Hey guys, i would like to apologize for my lack of emails sent. I have no excuse other than I was lazy and didn't want to send one.  So many AWESOME things have happened while I was gone so let me miracle SLAP you!!!!! 

We got transfer news and this transfer is thanksgiving, christmas, and new years, so I was a little scared to maybe get a companion I can't hang with or an area that does not like to party. We got transfer calls and I stayed with my compy and in my favorite place of Caserta. I was SO happy when I got that call. Bring on the Festas. MIRACLE #1

Thanksgiving was INSANE. Thanksgiving is not celebrated in Italy, so I thought I would have major FOMO while my family was at the beach (my favorite place without me) but what do you know I had more thanksgiving dinners than I've had in America. Thanksgiving parties with Italians who have no idea why theyre celebrating or what theyre eating are way more fun than Thanksgiving at the beach. MIRACLE #2 I had 3 Thanksgiving parties and everyone of them was filled with Turkey and Pie and GRATITUDE!!!

 I hope EVERYONE was so grateful and told someone that they were grateful for them and most IMPORTANTLY gave thanks to our good God above. Without him, you would not have any of those things you were grateful for. I am grateful for America . I am grateful for my family and I am grateful that I know that my Heavenly father has a plan for me. 

Story time: When teaching english class to some italians, i based my lesson on gratitude. I asked everyone to think of 3 things they are grateful for and they could not repeat what someone else said. They all got wide eyed and started to ask me how in the world that would be possible to think of more things they were grateful for??? Ladies and gentlemen this brought so much sadness to my heart. GOD HAS GIVEN US SO MANY THINGS!!!! WE CAN BE SO GRATEFUL!!! I can't even express to you how much my heart just wanted to burst out to these people and help them realize all the beautiful things God has given them to be grateful for. So please, this week for me, tell everyone you know you're grateful for them, find something to be grateful for every day, and get on your knees every single day and tell your Heavenly father you are grateful for him and grateful for everything he has given you. And we ESPECIALLY need to be grateful in our times of trial. It's life changing, I promise. 

Ok sorry for that epistle. 

MIRACLE #3 Okay so for those that don't know, my area has been in a severe drought. We have not found anyone to teach in a LONG time. It's been rough. So, me and compy knew we had to put our boots on, grab some book of mormons and some shovels and GET TO WORK. Let me tell ya my knees were hurtin from the amount of prayers I was sayin. We would walk in the door at 9pm everyday exhausted from talking, knocking, and walking. BUT THE LORD PROVIDES!!! WE FOUND SOMEONE!!!! We have seen miracles every single day!! And without a doubt we could not have done any of it with out the hand of the lord. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a missionary and I talk about Jesus to everyone, all day, everywhere. I'm saying that because I'm Jolynn Coon and I know that my Heavenly father is SO aware of me and LISTENS to every thought and prayer and sees every action I take. We have so many awesome friends right now and my heart is just so full of joy YAYAYAY!!

Okay heres a mysthbuster for the week. you know this hand motion . Yeah we think italians just use that when they say "pizza." I have now learned that they really only use it when they're mad. Lol Mythbusted.

I love you all SO MUCH!!! Send me an email because I would LOVE to hear about your lives!!!!
