Goodness, so I don't have a lot of time, but can I just say...SO HAPPY TO BE BACK IN THE SOUTH.
The
city's amazing and a lot of lessons were learned up there, but there's
nothing like the humility of these people down here. Lawton is
considered the 'Hood' of Oklahoma. Everyone is crazy, whether good or
bad. We live right next to the hospital and go to sleep listening to
Sirens all night. It's a blast! We've seen SO many miracles just within
the past couple days since I got here. Oh goodness. We knock doors and
people just let us right in. !! Lawton's an interesting area because we
cover Ft Sill, a HUGE army base here in Lawton. One missionary from each
companionship goes every Sunday on base (you have to get a pass) to
teach lessons. The baptismal rate is high because they're already living
all of the laws and ordinances, the soldiers. It leaves the other
companion to go to church in our ward without a companion! (it's a long
complicated story but everything works out) It's pretty neat, not going
to lie.
One amazing miracle; we knocked into a woman named
Lynda and her boyfriend (not living together. phew) on Friday night. We
taught them the Restoration and all went well. We invited her to church
giving her all the information and such. Welp..we should have had more
faith in her. I was sitting in Gospel Principles 2nd hour when a member
opens the door and motions for me to come out. She tells me that there's
this lady at the front asking for us. Stumped, I run over and
*drumrooll* LYNDA! It was amazing. She especially appreciated Relief
Socitey. It was a great lesson and she was crying throughout it. OH boy.
I can't believe how incredible God is. Taking care of every one of His
children. We just need to make sure we're doing our part and He'll work
through us.
I love you all so! Sorry I didn't have much time this week.

Pic 1) We had to be in by 6 Halloween night but that didn't stop us from putting out our own bowl of 'goodies' for the taking ;)
Pic 2) Proof that I'm in the hood. A black Joseph and Mary. Love it.
Pic 3) A four inch spider that's decided our front porch is his. We have to fight him every time we go through our front door
