Roll Tide Roll‏

What a week! It was wonderful, but this week will be nice to be back on our regular schedule! Because of the meetings and things in the morning we didn't study Sunday, Tuesday or Wednesday morning. We were having withdrawls! So Tuesday .. FINALLY THE TEMPLE! It was wonderful, and I just wish I could spend all day there sometimes. (Y'all will be happy that I have a picture for my plaque finally) Wednesday was Zone Training which I LOVE! It was something I really needed. I needed a little kick in the bum. I realized some more weaknesses that I have. It was humbling, because I know that I have a long way to go, and I can't learn everything all at once, but I can take it one goal at a time. Sister Isaak and Sister Child are our Sister Training Leaders, and I always love what they have to teach. They talked about lot prioritizing, and setting goals.

 

 

I know everyone probably gets sick of me saying this, but I love Susan and Greg so so much! They are family to me! We are having FHE with them at Susan's sisters families house, this Tuesday! We are going to go over the Restoration, and show the video.

 

 

GAME DAY! Sister Millard and Sister Leifson the YSA Sisters did a free lemonade stand with us on Saturday! It was Texas vs Alabama. We went to Dollar General, got posters, cups, lemonade, etc. We got chairs from the Brannons and a table from the Hutchisons. And set up on the strip. It was SO MUCH FUN! No, we didn't really find a lot of people (which was the whole point) but a lot of drunk college kids liked us. ... We didn't think that one through. Football. Game Day. College campus. = We just yell ROLL TIDE ROLL! Quite a few people took mormon.org cards, and Sister Williams wrote mormon.org on the cups. BRILLIANT. It was so fun! And Alabama won! ... Good news for Sundays. Sister Brannon said last year when we lost it was like people were in mourning.

 

 

Sunday ... well Sunday's are always a struggle after church, but what a miracle occured! We went to Katies, and she wasn't home (we were a little early) so we figured we'd do a little tracting just before. The first house was not interested, but the next house we hear yelling. I mean, it sounded like someone was beatin' their children! Sister Williams and I just look at each other, like, "yes? .. no? ... um.. ?" I just said, yeah. I didn't have any bad feelings. Some yelled, "Who is it?". I say, "We're missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints." .. A man holding one kid, and the other next to him stood there and smiled. What felt like eternity we just stood there with no words because we KNEW we knew these people! I'm thinking, where have I seen these kids? ... Well turns out it was a family in our ward! The kids were just playing with their dad. He is not a member, but Sister Morgan is in the Relief Society Presidency. ... I mean, we had NO IDEA they lived here! It was so funny! We ended up leaving a blessing on the home. This is why it is such a miracle though. ... As we walked back to Katies, I told Sister Williams, "I can't get over that that JUST happened. What's crazy is I had a feeling to talk to Sister Morgan at church today!" We had tried to see them weeks back, but schedules never worked, and it wasn't until this Sunday that I had the thought .. We still haven't seen them. We need to see them. .. Sister Williams said she did too! .. So God just had to kick us and show us we weren't listening. .. What's funny is Katie ended up texting us that she wasn't home, she was called to work. And she don't live close! We drove all that way, but we needed to see the Morgans.

 

 

We have been in a little rut the last week, so this week we are really going to be focusing on finding! And what a blessing that "we found" the Morgans. It's a start to start teaching new people. This week was hard in the aspect of, we need to find new ideas of how to find people. So it's going to be a lot of fun bike riding this week! WOO!

 

Love y'all! Peace and blessin',
