 Shark nails!!  Azle Zone...minus the striped Sister on the left...lol.  Azle Zone  Got my "trunky" package already....what??    So transfer news is...that I am staying! Which we pretty much figured would happen because Sister Meiners is going home. I'm super excited to stay! I love this ward. My new companion's name is Sister Booher. She's coming from the Arlington 2nd ward! So that makes me really happy. Sister Carbno actually trained sister Booher so I've heard about her before and she sounds really awesome. It's going to be a great transfer! This week was really amazing! We saw a lot of miracles! We had 3 investigators come to church! And we found 2 new investigators this week. A couple of weeks ago we started teaching the Brady family. They're a part member couple, Sister Brady hasn't been to church for a while and Brother Brady isn't a member, but he's been taught by missionaries in the past. The...

Crazy things happen when you go to the church on a Wednesday night.

    Scary looking clouds... Lead to muddy roads.... And very muddy tires.... And shoes!!       Hello! This week was pretty good. It feels like a lot happened but also that nothing really happened. It's one of those weirdo weeks haha.   I guess the only thing special to really talk about this week was Wednesday . So Wednesday we were home for dinner and were wondering what we should specifically do after dinner. We had some plans but nothing set. We started feeling like we should go over to the church because it was mutual night and a lot of youth bring their friends. Plus there was a less active lady we needed to get in contact with and she might be there. So we end up going to the church. The less active lady we wanted to see wasn't there, but we also needed a new ward roster so we asked for one and had to wait a little while for it to print and stuff. While we're waiting for the roster a member of the ward comes ...

Lost sheep

If you look close, there is a sheep in the back of this truck! (Click on it)   We had some good things happen this week. We were finally able to have a real appointment and lesson with our investigator named Michael. I don't know if I've even talked about him before. The sisters here have been working with him for while. He's got a good testimony, but he's had a really hard life and has some things in his past holding him up for baptism. We've only had one lesson with him since I've been here and it was a very short one. After that we kept having scheduling conflicts and weren't able to meet with him. So we finally got to sit down and have a lesson with him on Friday . It was so good! We brought our new Elders Quorum President over with us and he was just perfect! He was exactly the kind of friend that Michael needed. Michael just seemed to feel a lot better after our lesson with him which was really good to see. We were worried that he w...

Happy General Conference! And Easter!

Image
    We watched conference at the church on Saturday, and on Sunday we watched it with a really sweet family named the Gilchrist's. It was really good. I love Elder Holland's talk as well as President Uchtdorf's talk about Grace. I just love learning more about Grace!   This week was pretty good. On Thursday we had dinner with our ward mission leader and Bob and Jill. Bob has lots of questions and they have both agreed to meet with us so we can teach them the discussions! We're really excited! We're still trying to work out a time, but we're hoping that we can meet with them this week!   And really that's the only super notable thing this week. We went on exchange with our Sister Training Leaders which was really good. And yeah, we tried to find some people to teach and saw some members and that's all I have to say really.   I feel like I've definitely learned a lot about my weaknesses though, which is great because ...

Baby turtles and a drunk guy....

 Baby turtle!  Halloween Costume??  Are potatoes supposed to do this? This week was really good! I'm still loving Azle and Sister Meiners so much. This is really a great place!   Tuesday was a really awesome day! We had an auto training meeting in Colleyville, and it was really cool to be back in my first stake. We got these things put into our cars called "TIWI". The monitor the cars speed, seat belt usage, and if there's any aggressive driving going on, then it yells at us when we do any of those things. Well not really yells, but "mentors". Either way, it's scary when it happens haha. I'm glad I'm not driving. While those were being installed though we had a meeting with President Ames where we talked all about finding new people to teach and the new Because He Lives initiative. The spirit was so strong. President Ames is just so amazing and loves us all so much. It definitely motivated us to do better at tal...
