Hey Yall!!

It has been a great week! To start out I found out one thing....I am
getting transferred. :(

I have absolutely loved this area. There are so many wonderful people
here that I will speak to again. I am going to Dothan Alabama on
Wednesday morning. I will miss being with Elder Murdoch, he is a great
cat. Great obedient, hardworking missionary and full of love for
everyone. He always compliments people. Great man! We had some great
experiences this week, after much prayer. We were riding to an area to
tract it and following us locking up our bikes we looked over to see
a man wave at us to come over, we walked over and he let us right into
his home. As we sat and talked he said his wife was a less active
member and his daughter was struggling to overcome some issues. They
invited us over for dinner on Friday. They used to feed the
missionaries all the time a couple years ago. We went friday and had a
great visit, the daughter loves the church and lvoes the feelings the
missionaries bring. She wants to experience that. We will eb going
back tonight to begin the lessons. :D It was a miracle. Someone who
has actually been prepared and we don't have to plant the first seeds.
The Lord was looking out for us. Then we had a great lesson last
night, we taught the restoration and the spirit was so strong with
this family. THey are prepared. They loved the fact that the church is
consistent no matter where you go around the world. A great lesson and
a great couple. The husband prayed at the end and the wife said to me
that she never would have thought he would be willing to say it out
loud. After the lesson I found out I had food in my teeth the whole
time so I felt like a huge goof! haha Great day! The Lord has been
merciful. I read more of the Book of Mormon and have found so many
powerful stories that I can relate too. Our knowledge of the Book of
Mormon makes us better missionaries. Thats fer sure. I love yall, hope
everyone has a great week! I pray for your well being. I am thankful
to God for the gift of His Son and this opportunity to serve him. Love
yall!
