Hey Y'all! i hope you are having a wonderful day like I am. so this week has been a lot of fun!
Last Monday sister Brunner and I got into a whip cream fight and it ended a little messy but lots of fun! We ended up going to a member's house for dinner then we had a sing along with our elders and some that are just a little bit out of our area. We sang songs to Ms. Betty and Ms. Vicky ( the women we live with ) and they both teared up. It's amazing to me how the spirit can be so strong in our music I loved every minute of it!
Tuesday we had our general authority visit and that was AWESOME!!!! It was a 6 hour training about missionary work and everything else under the sun during the last little bit he started having a few missionaries ask questions and I was 1 out of the 5 my question was " what scripture has helped you more in life then any other?" to which he said Joshua 1 5-9 I believe i don't have my notebook with me but I am pretty sure that was the one.
Wednesday We both were sick so we didn't really do a whole lot. we went out for a little bit but we both thought it would be better to get rest so we weren't sick for the rest of the week. Her's went away but mine still lingers how exciting :)
Thursday we had a lesson with a less active and her non member husband and grandson they both said they will be baptized on October 12! So we are really hoping that they are as excited for it as we are. Our elders made us chicken for dinner while we were doing a branch mission meeting.
Friday we talked with a less active member about the Book Of Mormon and pretty sure she knows the stories better then I do. She told us pretty much all the stories with right names and everything and she got really into telling the stories it was super fun! Then we decided to go tracting in the mall. Door weren't working so we went were the people were. We met 2 ladies and had a really good lesson with them. They work at Belk ( Macy's ) And they asked for us to come back and talk to them again so we will be doing that :)
Saturday was Sister Brunners birthday so we went out for breakfast at a waffle house and went biking my knee changed colors afterwards and got swollen it didn't really hurt a whole lot but it was interesting the colors it became afterwards. Then a recent convert named Tyler made her dinner while we were at the church getting ready for Branch conference. I made really yummy mac and cheese for dinner and he made homemade chicken nuggets and mash potato's so pretty much had a normal southern meal haha Oh the grease! Also we met a pastor at walmart while we were getting a few things and he was shocked we knew the bible pretty sure he's one of those pastors that thinks we don't believe in the Bible and we had a good talk with him. I'm starting to think I might not be called to baptize all of Alabama but to leave people with goof thoughts about Mormons :)
Sunday we had branch conference and we sang in it and it went pretty well no one boo-ed us off the stage so that's a good sign! We also helped out in primary Sister Brunner played Piano while I sang with the kids. Then we had a pot luck and y'all haven't had a pot luck until you've had a pot luck in the south.. just sayin'. While we were doing study time we got a call from president and he said that they (mission mama and president ) were in jasper and they wanted to stop by so in like .26294984651 seconds we had to clean up it wasn't messy just cluttered I've become kind of a neat freak.. so we were getting all that ready then they showed up and we had a nice chat with them. I love them so much I am really starting to see that Heavenly Father assigns missionaries to mission presidents.
I love y'all so much!! Have a wonderful day!!
