First we had a lesson with Franny who is a young mother of I think 4 kids so it gets super crazy when we go over! We have gone over a few times before and taught her about the Book of Mormon and a lot of other things that she had questions about. She has shown a lot of interest and has some really good questions. We taught the Restoration to her this week and she said she felt the Spirit so strong. She said that she almost started to cry when we talked about the vision that Joseph Smith had of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. She really loves learning about everything we teach her and has shown interest in coming to church but its been hard because she has some crazy boys and her mom lives with her too and she is super crzy as well! Her mom came out in the middle of the lesson with all of the screaming kids and asked if we could give her a ride to the store! When we said no she asked if we could go buy some stuff for her at the store! It got super crazy so we left pretty quickly but we are going to go back and invite her to church and have hopefully multiple lessons with members this week with her!
We also were able to see the Ryals, Corey and Krystal, again this week but onlly for a little bit. We had an appointment set up but they were busy with something and said that they would let us know when we could come back. Yesterday we messaged Krystal on Facebook messenger and had a good conversation with her on there! So previously she was working at Walmart during the night shift from like 10 pm to 7 am or something like that so thats why they were always super busy. But she told us that she got a new job at KFC so she will be available a lot more now and is waaaayyyyy less stressed! So we also stopped by yesterday night with Bryce Bennett who just got home from his mission last monday and he gave them some cookies from his welcome home party and we were able to set up a time to teach them later on today! Last night she told us that her daughter really wants to come to church to make some friends so she said they will probably be coming next week! We are super excited about them!
Recently I watched the Mormon message called Flecks of Gold. Its about a young gold propector who was panning for gold in a river and he kept getting nothing but little tiny flecks of gold. He wasn't happy with the little flecks, he wanted gold nuggets. Then an old prospector came and told the young man that all the flecks of gold were very valuable and when collected over time would bring him great fortune. Thats how it is with life. Alma in the Book of Mormon taught that "by small and simple things are great things brought to pass". Doing the simple things that don't seem like big things at the time like showing appreciation for things or just saying I love you to someone can bring us a lot of blessings when we continually do them just like gathering a lot of flecks of gold will bring us great wealth.
It's been a great time here in Waycross, Georgia! I hope y'all are doing great! I always appreciate any little emails I receive so please email me! I love you all so much! Keep on keepin on and hoorah for Israel!
Love,
