"Finer Than Frogs Hair..." A random quote we heard while sitting in the gas station with Denise.
Hey Y'all!
This week has been another great one! We've been running around like crazy but it's been amazing! We got transfer calls this week and I AM LEAVING THE BELOVED LAND OF FAYETTEVILLE AND SISTER MORGAN AND I ARE OPENING A NEW AREA FOR SISTERS!!
I don't know why that had to be capitalized but I thought it was big new. So on Saturday night after the broadcast (we'll get back to that) we were waiting for transfer calls and y'all we had to wait until 10:15. They started at 8 and we were hanging in there like a hair in a biscuit! So we got the call and they said " Y'all are both leaving and going to a new area" And then he started talking to someone in the room with him so we thought he was playing a joke on us but they aren't we are going to the Sparkman ward in Huntsville Alabama, before I forget this is the new address y'all can reach me at 685 Providence Main St. NW APT. 253 Huntsville Alabama 35816
So we are leaving our little land of Tennessee and moving to a area that doesn't have sisters so I am opening another area for sisters. Sister Morgan is super excited because she's never done this before and I think it's going to be such a fun adventure for all those involved including y'all since y'all will be there ever step of the way with us :)
We told the ward that both of us were leaving and it's safe to say they weren't very happy that they were moving us and better yet they are taking sisters out of Fayetteville. I think I forget to mention that part before. But we found out we are going to another part of the district, and we were able to tell all the members and they all said they are going to take us out to eat since Huntsville has better places to eat and now they have a reason to go down there haha People.
We told Denise that we were leaving and she got really upset and said that she doesn't want any missionaries to come see her because we are her missionaries. So after we talked to her we found out where we were going and it's just so amazing because half of the week she's in Huntsville for work so we are going to be able to still teach her! We are super excited!
Now back to the Women's conference! It was AMAZING!! I loved every little bit of it! I am so excited to see how this affects the women and the little girls in the Church i think it's going to make all the women more STEADFAST IN CHRIST and I am excited to see how that helps us all strengthen us and make us the women our Heavenly Father. Don't worry guys the Priesthood session is going to be amazing and I am so excited to go back and read those talks about how y'all can become the man you were meant to be!
I love Y'all a lot and I will talk to y'all next week!
Love Sister Denning Have a blessed day!
remember a scripture a day keeps Satan away :) friendly Advice from your little southern missionary :)

Hey y'all! This week has some super spiritual and powerful moments!
WE FINALLY GOT TO MEET WITH DENISE!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I believe that gas stations are the best place to find people. Why you ask, let me tell you about Denise. So the elders found Denise a little while back but since she's been so busy with work she hasn't been able to meet up with us so we decided that instead of just having phone calls and texts with her we would go to her work ( the gas station ) and try to teach her between costumers. So we did the Restoration and that was the most powerful lesson I have ever taught. While we were there we were feeling the Spirit so much that the 3 of us almost started to cry in the middle of the little Cafe that is in the gas station. We asked her to be baptized and she said that she's never been baptized. She thinks it's an important thing to do but every church she's gone to she felt hasn't had the whole truth. She didn't want to be baptized until she KNEW it was true and she said when she finds out it's true she will be baptized. She then told us she thinks we are going to be able to help her find the truth that she's been looking for. Total Preach My Gospel moment. She's a doll and we love her.
Then we decided to do some contacting while we were in the square totally like stars hallow from Gilmore girls. We talked to some of the ladies down there- they are baptist but we are working to fix that! We met another man who asked us if we liked to ride horses and I guess his family owns a ranch with a million horses but since we aren't allowed to ride horses we asked if we could do service for him. So we might get to go work with horses!!! I am so excited! We also have started to teach a recent Converts friend. He's awesome! his name is Patrick and he's awesome! He came to the Book Of Mormon class we do on Thursday nights and he got a Book Of Mormon. He was so protective over it. He put it in a zip lock bag so it wouldn't get ruined. We taught him the restoration and he fixed our bikes- it was pretty great! Both of our bikes needed some serious help!
We went to the temple on Friday. I LOVE THE TEMPLE! I wish I could live there! So many things I wasn't even thinking about got answered and so many thoughts came about how we can be better missionaries and become more steadfast!
Love you so much!!

Hey Y'all! So this week has been great! We had some training and that was wonderful! My companion was sick this week so we got to only go out for a minute, Since this weather is Bipolar it's making everyone sick and since we meet people all the time we get their sickness but it's ok! We had some wonderful times with some recent converts and less active members!
We get to go to the temple on Friday and I am SO excited! it's crazy to think that it's been 3 months since I went to the temple last! the temple is such a blessing to us! I love being able to feel the peace and the love that the Lord has for us. As always I am going with a question and I am excited to see what the answer will be but first I have to decide on what question I want to have answered. I really wish I would just have a Q and A with Heavenly Father.. Oh wait we can haha it's called revelation, I have been studying that for the last little while and it just is crazy for me to think that there are all sorts of answers waiting to be given to us and all we have to do is ask and wait until we are ready to receive the answers!!
I love y'all a lot!!

Something cool happened to us this week, We were contacting in a park yesterday and we started talking to this lady who was doing some metal detecting stuff and we talked about how her husband can find all these rings. We left and started walking around so we sat down on this swinging bench because who doesn't love a swinging bench? Then this women's husband walked up to us and asked if we were the girls that talked to his wife a little bit ago and we said we were, so he goes on to tell us that she found a ring and she told him to find us. So we start talking to him and his wife about how we are missionaries and they said they have family in Utah who are Mormon and somehow we get on the topic of the Word Of Wisdom and they said they live it minus the tea part. it made me laugh really hard about the people you meet and what will get their attention about the Gospel.
We've been working with this women named Densie and she's GOLDEN!! We haven't been able to talk because she works two jobs and when we have a time to meet she gets called into work so we are hoping we are going to be able to see her on Wednesday. So please pray that we will be able to! She's funny though we haven't been able to teach her but she's read a third of the Book Of Mormon. She's awesome we just need her to come to church. She keeps telling us not to give up on her and we aren't :) Silly women thinking Mormon Missionaries are going to be giving up on her HAHAHA. Now that I have sounded like a creeper. Sometimes I really think we are Stalkers for salvation.
Also for this week I ran into a mini pony farm! I was SO excited! We jumped out of car and had to go see them. While talking to the ponies we met a lama.
That was our week! Love y'all!
Love Sista Denning
P.S. The Church is true just a reminder if you forgot
Also fun story Sister Morgan experienced sushi for the first time it was really comicalOH how could have i forgotten! While there a member came up to us and said that he was going to pay for our meal. It was us and another set of sister missionaries. Members are the greatest people ever they really are! Blessings!
Love love love Y'all!

Hey Y'all!
So this week was a blast! We did a lot of contacting and working with members and less actives. This ward is just the best place ever. Sister Morgan I decided that we are going to stay in Fayetteville together until I go home. While we were at district meeting our zone leader asked if we knew each other before the mission I guess we are just that good of friends.
We decided to go tracting in the projects and in the ghetto... Needless to say the elders weren't very happy when they realized where we were. They were going to come be our body guards but we got the feeling we should go somewhere else. We ended up going to Walmart and started to play a game. We would pick out people for the other one to talk to and you would get a point if you either gave a Mormon.org card or if you got a lesson. Sometimes it worked out better then others. While at Walmart we met a guy named David who at first pretty sure was going to start bible bashing us but then we started talking about hope in Jesus Christ and that when we do what He asks of us He will watch out for us and we don't need to fear. We will be taken care of and after we talked about that he said that was exactly what he needed to hear and we handed out a Book of Mormon and he was so happy that he walked away with a smile and feeling the Spirit. The funny thing about that story is while we were driving to Walmart Sister Morgan and I were talking about how there is a point of the Gospel that will get everyone and we wished that we could be able to know what the people we met needed and we were able to give David what he needed when he needed it the most!! Gotta love the Spirit!
We also baked with a less active. We made oatmeal cookies and talked about plans and where we want to end up she hasn't gotten her patriarchal blessing or gone to the temple yet and we were trying to get her excited about doing that. She's a little more excited about her Patriarchal blessing now that she knows what it is. So we are helping her to get ready for that.
We watched a CES broadcast last night and it talked about listening to the Spirit which is funny because that is what we taught in Sunday school. But it was really good I would read it if i were you! It gives you a lot to think about.
I am grateful for the Gospel and for the love and support that y'all give me. I know this church is true with every fiber of my being!
Love Y'all so much!
Love sister Denning
