Hey ya'll!!if you didn't hear already! im staying here in tallahasse for another transfer! this will be my 4th transfer here!!! Im getting a new comp. and her name is sis krebbs. she came with us for about 2 days this past transfer because her comp had to go home on medical reasons :P So i know who she is. she is super sweet! has a bachalor degree in social work! her mom has cancer and they do a bunch of home remedies and herbs n stuff. so she is uber smart! she is i think 21. she plays the flute, was in the marching band, knows music real well, and knows who she is going to marry. he's on a mission right now too!...i cant remember his name...da gum... hmm sis g is going to campus!!! so i will see her every sunday!! WOO!!! she is training! so i get a grandbaby! awe cuteness huh!! and sis g gets like a half sister. im finishing training sis g. this'll be her second transfer! ahh! training is so dang scary! oh well imma just laugh it off and run! ;) ok sooo much has happened this week! moments that i cant even explain in words! ahh!! lets start with KIM!! Kim Mobley was baptized on august 3 and confirmed a member and received the Holy Ghost on august 4! whaaat???? her baptism was soo beautiful!! we never really had any experience planning a baptism... and so just as long as kim showed up, and brother johnson was there to baptize her. and water. we were happy!! but it was really really cool!! our ward mission leader wasn't there. he was out of town, no one in the ward remembered it was that saturday. so not many of the ward came haha there were a lot of missionaries! and gators! kim came and so did her husband brandon! i gave a talk on the holy ghost! i thought i was ganna die! but i said it and sat down hahaha i guess i made a few jokes, but gaaa!!! i can't speak in front of people!!!! teach a lesson? sure as long as i have my companion with me!! but brandon got teary eyed when kim went under the water and came back up. and melyssa said when she was watching, she was crying.she wants it so bad!! so that is really exciting!! we were helping kim dry off and she was saying how she is so happy and she feels all tingly and fuzzy... EVERYWHERE!!! oh my goodness!! we gave her a picture of the georgia temple and she got all emotional!! that is her and brandons next goal (after he gets baptized of course) ahhh!!! so special!!!! Then in sacrament. oh my best. sacrament. ever! not even playin now!! hhahaha kim was there all gorgeous and she got confirmed! i got teary eyed, so did sis g, and kim!!! in her blessing it said that she was a choice daughter in heaven. and i thought about what elder mcpherson said. how before this life we knew these people and we Promised them that we would bring them the gospel in this life!! ooo it just give me goose bumps!! me and sis g knew kim and we promised her she would have the gospel in her life and that we would find her!! it is just so amazing!!!!!! then it gets better. so it is fast sunday so that means, testimony meeting. kim and sis g go up to bear their testimonies!!!!! Kim said how grateful she was for us missionaries for knocking on her door! she said she was in a rough place and had been praying and praying and was getting to a point where she thought God didn't care/wasn't listening/ignoring her.
and then we showed up. her first lesson she cried alot. but i never knew this!! there are so many things that happen in other peoples lives that i dont know about!!!! and than i was thinking, what if we didn't knock on her door. what if we didn't go into that apt complex because it was too scary. for there were a lot of people drinking and smoking and stuff. but we went anyway! and we met kim :) so many things happened since we followed that prompting. or thought from the Holy Ghost that said to knock on these doors! we found a lot of crazy people... (seriously. crazy. like dont go over there its messed up.) but in all the darkness and evil, there was a soul crying out for light. and me and sis g. as missionaries we were like the giant light that came to flick the light switch on in her life! and now she is a member!! she loves church and the scriptures!!!my dang human mind can't comprehend everything my spirit is telling my body!! ahhh!! but its just amazing! simply. amazing. and now we have a friend for eternity!!Then there is Melyssa. She has been being prepared and if the bells hadn't invited her to meet the missionaries or to go to church. she wouldn't know the things she knows! she is going to be baptized real soon ;) she is amazing!!!and then there is Denis Peter!! his life is hard, people in the world are soo mean! so he has been reading the BoM alot and its AMAZING!(singing that word ;)) and he was in the bathroom and the BoM was sitting on the counter (dont know what he was doing in the bathroom. haha) and this girl walks past and sees it. then starts laughing at him! hard core laughing saying that this isn't him. and he told us.she's right, i dont know what im doing! now this girl is a member. she is very less active. but i mean how sad it that?? she laughed! me and sis g were shocked!! but we helped comfort him and helped him see how much he needs this in his life. sometimes we plan to teach him on things and end up talking about something completely different! teaching according to their needs its awesome! but denis is doing sooo good! he may be a slow one, just because he doesn't know what he wants. this gospel is what he needs! he just needs to find that out for himself :) im not worried! but he thanked us yesterday for listening to him and seeing the real denis. never judge a person! never. denis has had it hard and people are mean in the world. but if you take time to listen. doors start opening and you learn who people really are. denis is amazing! he is going to do great things in life! great things ma friends great things!!and there is tira bacon the wonderful!! she gave us a note and a cd with a few of her songs on them! she is such an amazing singer and we love her voice! the note was sooo sweet! its definitely amazing seeing how certain people are here for someone. Things happen for a reason!! there is no luck or coincidence.( i cant spell still...) Everything is here to make us better disiciples of Christ and happier and stronger!! wooo!! Look at my muscles!! Grrr haha
jk look away!! Then there are so many people in this ward who i just LOVE!!!! Melissa Nelms is my idol. Marcia Neely-Bey is my favorite person i want to live with her! she came to a lesson with us, and told her conversion story. we feel like that gator is closer to baptism now!! she is super funny oh how i love sis neely-bey!!so i have been trying to figure out what my gifts are that i can use on my mission! it might be the capacity to love! So many people i love! but i dont hide it. i tell them! i say the word love a lot and i hug a lot of people. this past week there has been A TON of love goin round!! phew! so much love you cant even imagine!! like at kims baptism. we weren't screaming and super happy. its like we knew that we didn't do it. all the screaming is to be done by Heavenly Father. He did it.all thy glory be thine! we felt peace, love and happiness! it was an amazing feeling! i would like to have it again please!!! hmm what else... this week was just dang awesome!! felt the spirit! cried a few times!! This is the last few days i have with sis G! weird!!! patience is a virtue.. remember. someone has it worse then you! and the Lord never forgets you. NEVER! I love yall!!! i love being a msisionay!! its hard to just go with the flow sometimes, but that is how i submite my will to the father. i just go with the flow! He knows best! even though i want to stay with sis g. i will let her go and fly away... be free!!! hahahahhahahahaha oh my im soo funny! the other day sis g told me that she has never laughed so hard in her life then when she was with me. im crazy apparently! and i do things that she would never think of doing!! hahaha laughter is good for the soul!! oh we have laughed, and cried, and got mad. but the love never left!!
