Week #26 - Time Flies When You're Having FUN!

Hey y'all!

Well, it's weird to say that I have been a missionary for 6 months now. So weird. I feel like I just got here! Being a missionary is so much fun! And this week was definitely one I will always remember!

This week, Brother Floyd T. Hafley got baptized and was confirmed a member of the church! It's been a great journey with him and we are so excited to see him continue to progress! The spirit was so strong at his baptism and it was just an amazing experience.

We have had a couple other miracles, but the one I wanted to share was with Erin! She came up to us while on exchanges and asked if we were the missionaries. She's a member but hasn't been to church in a year. She wants to come back and didn't even realize there was a branch in Hearne! She has three kids, 11 year old, 7, and 6 month, and her husband is a nonmember who has taken the lessons before. She came to church yesterday with her family! We are teaching them tonight and she is so great. She has a testimony and she even shared it yesterday at the meeting. Teaching and preparing families is the best!

I know this church is true and being in two of the best branches has taught me so much! The members all have such strong testimonies and it is exciting to see them becoming more comfortable with sharing the gospel!

I love the scriptures. They teach us so so much! If you haven't read Mosiah 2-5 recently, you definitely should! It's the general conference of the Book of Mormon and it's great! Also, D&C 18:10!

Mission life is the best, Sister Selee is being transferred and it's time to start another new adventure with a new companion! :) Also, the weather here is crazy! There were three tornados in the Caldwell area and it was storming all week! But good thing for cowgirl boots. :)

OUR GREAT ZONE!

Here are a couple pics from this week--Yes, we were Anna and Elsa for Halloween and the kids loved it. Haha love you all! Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
