Hey Y'all!
This week has been pretty good I was able to go on an exchange with sister Sheffer and that was really nice. We met some really nice people! While I was there I went to meet their progressing investigator and we challenged her to throw away all of her cigarettes and her coffee and her tea and president she did. IN LIKE 30 SECONDS!!!! It. was. AWESOME!
While I was in Leeds the other sisters found a lady named Sheronica and she's very nice and wants to be baptized again because she knows that will bring her closer to the Lord but her mom is a preacher and her grandparents are JW's but that doesn't mean anything if she doesn't let it mean anything. She knows that the message is true but she is one of those people that don't want to do anything about it. So i think it's time to bring out the big guns of boldness. So we are going to try and help her see that she shouldn't let her family, herself or Satan stop her from doing something the Lord has prepared for her!!

So the last couple of weeks some of the elders in my Zone have been calling us with an Elmo voice and one night while they were with our elders they bought an elmo and put it in our mailbox hence why there is a picture of my eyes with his eyes. Then the other day while we were contacting in the mall there was a Life sized elmo there so we had to take a picture with him.
So while I was studying the other day i was reading in alma and it talks about how Alma the younger baptizes thousands of people and it made me think about how Abinadi didn't know that Alma was believing what he was telling evil king Noah but because one person was prepared and wasn't afraid to go forward with faith it blessed so many other people's lives. So I have been thinking about my mission and the things that are going on and I love planting seeds, I never know where those people might go but because I had faith and i talked to them at some point they are going to be able to accept the gospel more easily. I used to laugh when I would read in PMG how they say no effort is wasted but really it's never wasted because someone who you might be talking to feels the Spirit and wants to know more about the gospel. So remember everything you do has a purpose!!
Love y'all have a great week!!!

Hey y'all! So this week was a little bit slower. Sister wells was sick so we were inside or a lot of the week but it's ok I got some good study time and while we were able to be out I saw the tender little mercies of the Lord.
Like this one:
While we were out this week we met a lady names Betty. We were in the projects tracting and we came across this house and this lady (betty) met us as the door. We said a prayer with her and while we were talking, I felt like she needed to know about the Plan of Salvation but she was busy at that moment so we gave her a pamphlet and are going to be going back this week. While I was telling her what the pamphlet talked about she started to cry and said I know the Lord has sent you girls to me. My mother and my sister passed away a few years ago and I'm worried about where they are. While we were talking to her I could feel the Saviors love for her and that her family was happy where they were and that they wanted her to know more. I felt very blessed to feel a little part of that while talking to her.
On Wednesday we had bible study and we talked about Lehi's dream and that was great! We talked about how it doesn't matter when you find the Iron Rod but the important thing to make sure you are doing is holding fast onto the rod once you find it. We also joked with Bill ( the bible study teacher) that on Wednesday we should wear pink. We found out that on Wednesday all the missionaries would have something pink on so we told Bill and he wore pink with us! We had to take a selfie! Like this one:

Good morning President!
So this week has been an adventure!
So Sister Wells and I went tracting and we ran into this women, She's not all there but she great. Her name is Deborah
So we were in the Projects and we knocked on her door and at first she didn't say anything when she opened the door so we didn't know she was there. Then she asked what we wanted so we asked if we could pray with her and at first she kept saying she's all prayed up and she's saved and doesn't need anymore- I'm thinking : Oh so you don't want to you Father in Heaven? Fine be that way. - She goes on to say how she's like Job she has boils in her mouth and she's going through the trails of affliction of her life and that is why she's eating a Popsicle... I eat them because i think they are yummy but go ahead girl do what you gotta do. So then she lets us in and says we can pray with her so while we are praying he does the while AMEN, THANK YOU JESUS, YES JESUS. All that good stuff and then at the end she says a prayer and she is crying at the end so i give her a hug and she doesn't let me go for about 5 minutes I totally thought she was going to kidnap me.. Well missionary nap me I guess. Anyways she lets go and hugs Sister wells for like 30 seconds and then hugs me again and once again doesn't let me go. Then she goes on to tell us that she is a lamb in a crate and Jesus is holding the crate. So you know southerns are awesome.
We're working with a part member family and this guy has been through so many missionaries and he told us the other night that he's going to be baptized but he doesn't want to do it until he gets a better foundation so if someone says something he doesn't ran away from the church but can defend it. So that makes me happy. Because not going to lie I am a little tired of people that are just getting baptized with out realizing what it actually means and when something happens they blame it on the church so it's refreshing for someone to want to defend the church!
Also I got sick this week whoop...NOT I got put on antibiotics and those are helping I'm not 100% yet but i am still doing what I can to help those around me!
Have a blessed week!
STEADFAST IN CHRIST
Love, sister Denning

Don't scare my llamas!-What Ammon ( a youth in our ward) said when we asked him how his sheep were. instead of protecting Sheep he protects Llamas
Hey y'all! This week we had a funeral for someone in our ward. The family wasn't too sad just because of the blessing and the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation. The family sang "I am a Child Of God" And Families can be together forever. It was such a sweet little sight the family knew that they were going to be able to see her again and they weren't worried about where she was.
Since it was the 4th of july we got to see some fireworks while we were in the projects and it was really fun a bunch of little kids talked to us and wanted to have us come over so we will try to see them next time we go back and a lady wants us to help her stop smoking. That's going to be fun!
I hope y'all have a great week
love you!
