Week 63- "Well, I had to give up 17 bucks worth of coffee, bucko!"

Okay. Most incredible week.

We had a lesson with Sheryl about the Word of Wisdom on Saturday. She has her normal cup of coffee every day, but the worst is the tea. Ooooo down south Ice tea is where the problem usually lies. After the lesson, she kind of sighed and followed us out the door. Asking her what was going on, she replied "If I don't get rid of it now, it's never going to happen. Let's be honest girls"! She then proceeded to knock on her neighbors door and promptly give him her $17 worth of coffee that she had just barely bought. !!!!!
We then had a lesson on fasting in gospel principles and she promptly testified to everyone that if she could give that stuff up, "Y'all better not think there's not anything you can't give up for the Lord since I could do that for Him" (..it was something along those lines)

The trios going well. We're out of it for the next two days but will be back at it again after. (It's a long story) 

Base has been incredible. Another individual that I've been blessed to teach, Brother Acfalle, was baptized yesterday. He saw the example of Burhnam and needed that for himself. Another battle buddy, Conner, is getting baptized in two weeks because of it too!! GAH. This work is incredible. Do you want to know why Ft. Sill has so much success? You got it, the MEMBERS. Honestly, the members bring them, we teach them, and then they testify, teach, and fellowship throughout the week to them. It's truly a remarkable experience. It's humbling, and I better apply these things for when I get back home. I promise you all, there's a reason that missionary work is a commandment for Everyone. I challenge everyone to apply this as well.

I sure love you all! Keep up the faith. Trust me, it's worth it.

PS. MIRACLE. We talked to a woman emptying her trash at a dumpster Saturday and she said that she'd been looking for a church for years and has always respected the LDS and wanted to learn more. and bam. She came to church on Sunday too. How incredible of the Lord, to place these people in our paths. I sure love my Heavenly Father and His love for us :)
