#WRECKED

Hi y'all :)

I had a good week!

Something awesome that happened this week was that Leigh and Scott came to church.

First awesome thing about that is that us and two other members got them to commit to coming.

Second awesome thing is that the Sunday school portion of the meeting was a Linger longer and soooo many members went up and introduced themselves to Leigh and Scott. 

Third thing is that Leigh and Scott are low on money right now, so they haven't eaten much recently, but they got fed really well at the Linger longer

Fourth is that we hardly even talked to them at church. (I know that may sound a little bad, but it's not don't worry) the members literally took care of them the whole time they were there.

Our ward is so awesome and soooo missionary mindset here, I love the Bearden ward! They are awesome missionaries!

I think a big thing that I have seen the Lords hand in is blessing my family and answering my prayers. It's crazy how quick I've seen answers to my prayers recently. Before my mission when I was in high school, when I would pray, God would answer my prayers soooo quickly, and that's just how it was. I think God knew that's what would get me. It was really special to me! Recently I've been seeing answers to my prayers like I did then, idk why it's different now or if it's just me noticing it more, but I've been seeing it and I'm soooo grateful! 

Our mission is doing a book of mormon read and we are reading the BoM in 65 days (same amount of time it took Joseph Smith to translate the BoM) and if we stay caught up we get to watch a movie as a mission. So our mission watched 17 miracles last night and I was a WRECK. That movie made me emotional, the pioneers went through so much, I'm grateful for them. 

Also I came across this picture soooo a little throwback to Christmas when I acted out the nativity :) see picture below

Anyways, I'm doing good and I love my mission. Transfer calls are next week so expect some news next Monday :)
