Intro to the Blog: Sister Casey and the Nauvoo YPM Mission

Hello Friends and Family of Sister Casey Greenwood, and welcome to Casey's Mission Blog!

This blog is to keep you updated on the experiences of Sister Greenwood as she shares her testimony of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ through song and dance as a Young Performing Missionary in Nauvoo, Illinois for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She will serve from May 2017-August 2017 in this capacity. If you would like to know more about her beliefs, please check out www.lds.org or mormon.org

This blog is run by Casey's sister in law, Jessica. Feel free to post comments and thoughts in the comment section below so that Sister Greenwood can read them when she returns. If you know Casey, you know she loves to hear from her friends!

We, as the Greenwood Family, could not be more pleased with the choice that Casey has made to accept this call and use her talents to serve the Lord. We are proud of her and are excited to see her grow as she has experiences and learns about the truth of the Gospel and the history of the LDS Church. Go forth and serve, Sister. We love you!

The Healing Gift of Tongues

GUYS THIS WEEK WAS AMAZING THE LORD ANSWERS PRAYERS the highlight of my week was definitely that I MET A LADY FROM JAPAN. I have been praying that i would be able to meet at least one person from japan and she happened to come to the promise on a day that i was performing and she bowed to the elders when she left the theatre, so elder contreres came right over to me and told me to talk to her. i was SO HAPPY to meet her and she teared up when she told me that she didn't expect that someone could make her feel at home here in nauvoo. she said it's really hard for her because she is the only member in her family and no one knows about the church in Japan so she can't really have experiences with church history or really be engulfed in the church. i told her that's what i love most about the church is that it's true everywhere you go and always feels like home. she told me she has a hard time understanding and connecting to the pioneers and i was able to tell her that ...

Star Status

Hello from your local celebrity?? being a young performing missionary in nauvoo is seriously amazing and we feel like celebrities. since we first got here, everyone waves to us when we pass or drive by, people know who we are when we forget our nametags or where the wrong one, and people cheer and make hearts at us when we drive by as well. when we drive to trail of hope we have to drive next to a huge crowd of people and it literally feels like we are celebrities arriving at our concert. we even received a package a couple weeks ago full of letters from a youth group to thank us for their experience here in nauvoo. this week i myself felt like a celebrity because especially last night after the promise and sunset i had random children running up to hug me and even waiting to meet me! specifically me! after sunset! sunset doesn't even have lead roles or anything, they just wanted to meet me for me!! and there was also another little girl named Eliza who remembered meeting me earlie...
