This week we fasted with Tira Bacon. friday we did. we fasted together! she had decided that she was going to commit to the gospel 100% and so that meant telling her parents who are anti mormons... she was so scared! but she loves the gospel soo much! and everything that has been happening these past few weeks have been eye opeing! i can remember the first time we met her. we just saw her name on the roster as less active. and so we didnt have that many gators so we would try to go see them! but with Tira we tried like 4 or 5 times. and the last time we were going to try her. she wasnt there. so we wrote on a sticky note and left. that was it! we have a 5 strike rule just so that we can use our time efficiently and effectivley. so we dropped her. and we didnt even know her. than a few days later we get a call. it was TIRA!!! we met with her on wednesday! she had met with sisters before and it was awful! they didnt like each other and they didnt like Tira so she didnt get anything out of it. and that was like 3 months before we met her. so eek! so we got to know her. figured out what she needs. and started small. pray in your heart. pray in your head! she didnt want to pray out loud or read her scriptures. def not come to church. so we accepted it and said to pray in her heart! and we text her pretty much every day. and now today!! she is praying and reading and coming to church!! when people say that your sent to an area for a reason. its true. and it is amazing. you watch it happen right before your eyes!. WOW! haha Tira is so amazing!! we always tell her how much we love her! and she always says it back :) she told us the other week that she wouldn't be here today if it were not for us two. us TWO!! it takes 2! uh! so amazing!! how much i love tira bacon! soooo much love!! wooooooooooooo

we had an awkward lesson with a part member family. he was all tattood and had tons of peircings. and quiet! sis guittar. (member) told us a few days eariler when we were setting it up that he had a potty mouth and a dirty mind... so we were like. great! this will be so fun... ,:/ haha sis guittar is so amazing! she just had a baby. who is like the cuttest baby ever!!! and than she is trying to get back into the swing of things with the church! her husband works at walmart, and is kind of scary! she loves him though. and they have such a beautiful baby! but it was just really really awkward! like super awkward...

we also did trade offs this week so i went into another area. and i have realized at that moment how much i love tally 1st ward! so much! i belong here! this is where my people are!! hahah it was weird realizing it! but i also LOVE the ghetto! there werent any ghetto parts that they went into. and i missed it! wierd eh? but i felt out of place and wierd when i was with sister medlyn! oh my sister medlyn is so amazing!! she is so strong and is just an amazing missionary!!

Fact: i hate tracting.

Fact: you meet a lot of people walking

Fact: shoes with holes in them get wet faster

Saturday we literally had nothing planned.. all our gators we had apts with them for another day. so we walked and tracted. :P the really cool part was. we met some flippen awesome people! a guy from Jamaica who had a really strong  belief in God, a guy who used to live in UT who use to take the lessons but not anymore. but he was so grateful for what we do. then a guy from an indian reservation who talked to us for like 45 mins! he was so sweet! he gave us mint plants...(more plants. people keep giving us plants.. obviously we need to pick up on something. random strangers giving us plants??)  and he talked about his belief. something about the milky way and then an eagle/hawk that you would have to pass to get to heaven. so if your righteous you'll pass him but if your wicked you have to fight him? im not sure exactly all that he said! he also taught us some indian words... which i have forgotten! but it was really cool!!!! hahah and than a guy who was on a break from recording a cd music! crazy! then his band came out and we left! hahaha really interesting day!! we ate at the grays and had such a fun time! when we eat with the Elders. its always super funny! haha oh i love when the members feed us!!

Relief society was so amazing!! so amazing! sister Marcia Neely-Bey taught. holy flip!! amaizng !!!! my new quote from that lesson is that we are RIGHTOUS GOD FEARING WOMEN!

So we decided to walk to church yesturday and so we were walking. and we were not walking fast enough. so we were behind schedule. the elders saw us and gave us a ride. i felt bad because we had planned to walk.. but they are so sweet for giving us a ride! after church we were going to walk home and eat a sandwich and make phone calls. we told the elders what we were doing. we didn't really want to make them give us a ride home because of miles and such. :( THEN Kathy Clark. an amazing member. pulls up and says that she is giving us a ride home :) the grandaughter inside said to stop! awe :) she said we were her favorite missionaries :) and then the elders called us and wanted to make sure we were not walking home. because it was a long walk. and they wanted to make sure we were being taken care of. i told them Kathy Clark gave us a ride! SO SWEET!

It just made me realize how sometimes it seems like we're all alone and nobody cares or sees us. but really the Lord is watching out for us and is doing all He can to help us! WOAH! how awesome is that! woo! hahaha and than another epiphany i had was that when im in a rough spot and i just want to leave and be done. i need to remember all the good times! all the people that have shown us love! and think about all the people that I love!! look towards the light, not the darkness! woo!! woah this is a LONNG letter. sorry everyone! hahah good bathroom reading material right here! oh also i love the Gaskin Family!! legit southern people! bro gaskin reminds me of my dad.. its strange but bro gaskin is sooo funny!! so funny!! when we taught the lesson we told them to write down on the cards we gave them names that come to their minds. so bro gaskin did right away. we thought like YESSS!! then after when we asked who they all wrote down. he said he wrote down his enemys and his friends. ahahhahahah oh my we LOVE eating at their house! so fun! well thats all for now folks! stay true to the faith! live right. and dont do drugs!

LOVE
Sister Milne
