Back in Tupe' Town‏

This week has been one of the most incredible weeks on my mission so far!!!! AHHHHHHHH! I can't even begin to explain! We are working so hard and having so much fun! Where to START? Always a struggle. So on Saturday I knew I was being transferred out of Huntsville because President Hanks asked me to be a Sister Training Leader (like a Zone Leader, but Sister version .. and without the priesthood ha) ... Wednesday comes around. On the way to transfer meeting we are talking about who we think our companions would be. I said I would love to be Sister Wilsons companion. We get to transfer meeting. The slideshow of new companionships comes up, Sister Wildings' comes up first, so I say goodbye to her, and then I walk to the back of the chapel as we're instructed. Slowly people standing in the back of the chapel are being called to who their new companion will be, and go to sit with them. Then Sister Wilson and I are standing by each other. Our picture comes up together that we will be serving as STL's in Tupelo! WHAT? I was JUST there last transfer? 

We have been on fire!!!! We have had some AMAZING lessons! A family wants to get baptized! I met them for the first time. The Sister started teaching them almost a month ago. They already talk about wanting to be sealed in the temple! We had a lesson with them about priesthood and had Matt who was just baptized a few weeks ago come with us. His testimony was so beautiful. I asked Lewis why it's important to be baptized by the Priesthood. He said, "Well, if you're not then you're just going through the motions." The spirit was so thick when Sister Wilson then asked him if he would follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized. He just looked at her for a minute in silence with his eyes filling up with water. He said quietly, "yes." We invited him to talk with Laura his wife about a date for them both to be baptized. ... AND THEN Jessica who I taught before with Sister Butterfield is getting baptized on Easter!!!!! Nathan has been to the temple! He was baptized for his grandpa and great grandpa! We met with Ashley who's a senior in Highschool! She knows our ward mission leader who owns a cell phone covers store. So I asked, Oh how do you know him? She said, "I'm addicted to cell phone covers" Brother Hooper is awesome! He's the one that invited her to church 2 weeks ago. And then Sister Wilson and Sister Stahle who was here before me started teaching her. We saw her again yesterday and she told us she wants to be baptized! God is so good! So many miracles! Conference was amazing! My favorite was Lawrence Corbridges'. I got to watch the Saturday morning with the Nathan and Jessica. SO COOL! The change of when we first met with them to teach them about the Restoration. Now they know about conference and are watching it on Saturday?!!! Then Ashley came to the Sunday morning and we had a potluck at the church. It's so fun seeing people again! ....   

AND I got an email that my dad is going to get a donor transplant! With what they have been through with insurance, it's a miracle! So many good things happening here. And Tuesday is MLC and then we're doing exchanges til Thursday, then Friday Ashley is getting baptized! I can't believe I'm back in Tupe' Town!!!

Please pray for Elder D that he can find someone at least willing to listen. He is having a hard time in his area. I only had a hard time last transfer for 6 weeks not really finding anyone, but he's been out almost 6 months already?! .. That I can't believe. 

I love y'all! Thank you for your prayers. I couldn't do it without prayer and without the atonement of Jesus Christ. 

Sister Reyne
