WOW.  This week has been so amazinggg! I hope all of you had a fabulous week!  I cannot believe it is November. 

I don't have a lot of time but I want to share ALL of the miracles and highlights from this week and not leave anything out!!!

MIRACLE #1   We were having one of those eh type of days, I was a little discouraged and our appointment fell through we didn't have anything planned so we decided to go downtown because there are usually a lot of people down there, nope!  There was absolutely NO ONE in sight so we decided to knock a few doors before our appointment we had to be to.  After knocking a few with no luck, Sister Danes, my amazing and inspired companion suggested we pray to know where to go.  After the prayer she pointed to a house and said we should go there, and a lady yelled at us to get off her porch hahahaha we laughed and laughed so we went to the NEXT house,  There we found ****.  ***** works for himself and does handy-work around Demopolis.  He was really interested in what we had to say, accepted a Book of Mormon said that it really was a miracle he met us because he had been praying for an opportunity to get back into church.  WHAT.  We invited him to our scripture study class we do weekly that evening.  AND HE CAME.  He really did! It was the biggest miracle. We now call him Emmaus ****.

 MIRACLE #2 

 Missions are just huge, giant, big, emotional roller coasters that never stops haha  With *** this week, it has been a bit of a roller coaster.  *** is still doing amazing but for a few days we completely lost contact with her.  No answer to her phone and she wasn't at home.  Turns out she was in the ER with a bad toothache that was making her headaches way worse.  Which was really a blessing in disguise because she is currently trying to quit smoking to follow the Word of Wisdom and because of her toothache, when she smokes it makes it more painful!  She came to our RS activity this week and came to church for the 2nd time! AND she brought her boyfriend, *****, and their daughter.  This was HUGE.  After church she received a Priesthood Blessing from the Branch president for her sickness and overcoming smoking.  Later Sunday night, she texted us and said that she and ***** both made the decision together, that they will not buy any more cigarettes.  And *****  loved church so much he wants to come on a regular basis.  HOLLAAAAAAA  This was a big answer to fervent prayers and fasting.  ***  is still on schedule to be baptized on Nov. 19th.  holla back

The other sisters in the branch had a baptism this past week! We helped a lot with it and it was so great!! **** a nd her 4 children were baptized.  President and Sister Sainsbury came as well!  We sang for a musical number and it was just such a special experience.  Watching this cute family make the decision together to follow Christ.  They have so much happiness and joy ahead of them!

I bore my testimony in Fast and testimony meeting yesterday.  I started crying when I was expressing my feelings about my mission.  I love my mission so much. The time that I have had and I have left is so precious to me.  I love the people of Alabama!! I love the people I have met and the things that I have felt and learned.  I know that this is Christ's church.  I have a strong testimony that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. This is the wonderful news of the gospel!! Trust it! Share it! We have the pearl of great price! The message of the plan of salvation!!!!! Why would we not share it with everyone?? I cant believe how many miracles Heavenly Father has allowed me to see. Each day serving this mission is the greatest miracle of all. I LOVE MISSIONS AND Alabamaaaa but most of all I love my Father in Heaven I know Him and I know He knows me.  And each person I come in contact with. iloveitiloveitiloveit.

Have a great week!!

Steadfast in Christ and ROLLLLLLL Tide ROLL

Con amor,
