Week Two of Tornados

Since President's day was yesterday, the library was closed. So emailing is today :) Sorry I forgot to warn you all.

Round 2 of tornado warnings...we don't think there 

were any real tornadoes..but the high speed wind sure 

did some damage. That's someone's car under a tree. 

Poor neighbors :( it provided for lots of service 

opportunities though! You can just imagine what it 

looked like when the real tornado hit last week.

This week was a slower one, but still full of some amazing work and visits. We've started working with a wonderful part member family. They're so sweet and they're really trying to come back to church. Their 2 kids want to be baptized, so we've been going over there to teach lessons. After our lesson on Tuesday, their daughter showed us this jelly bean game that's apparently a popular thing. You flip a spinner and it lands on a color. You don't know if it's going to be a good flavor or a nasty flavor. It was hilarious!! We needed that laugh :)

On Thursday Sister Lewis and I gave a training in Zone training meeting on Faith, hope, and repentance. It went pretty well. I learned so much through that study. I hope something clicked for the other missionaries we were with. On the way back from Pooler we met with this wonderful lady! We're so excited to study with her. She has met with the missionaries before and was so excited to see us. She was very rough at first but warmed up as soon as she realized who we were. I just love to see the gospel change lives! Every day I feel that the one it is changing the most is mine. 

Went to Savannah! We had to drive out for an
errand on p-day so we went a few extra miles to
Savannah. It's such a beautiful city!

We've done a couple service projects as well...cleaning carpets and cleaning yards. We got a call last night from Sister Cottle at about 2:30 in the morning...we actually weren't awake enough to answer it...but found out the next morning of more tornado warnings. Apparently Sister Cottle's window was shattered by flying tree branches. Poor Sister Cottle, she was so stressed and nervous. There were some pretty high speed winds. Today that's what we've been doing. Cleaning up yards. It's great to get out in the community. :)

One study I have loved recently is what it means to be a consecrated missionary. I truly want to give my all to this mission. Every moment of our lives is precious. There's so much to do, we might as well spend this valuable time doing things that are truly of great worth. What will that be for you this week? 

Love you all! Be safe and be the light for someone this week!
