I'm headin' to the City! I'll be in OKC 2nd, living in Moore. President lives in my area. Member visits anyone? ;) Maybe we'll have to stop by for some water for a second... (Priscilla's Companion will be a Sister Jensen, she goes home next transfer, so once again Priscilla is "sending another Comp home")
This week's been wonderful! There's been a little bit of flooding (it's starting up again darn flabbit). Church was cancelled yesterday and it rained for 5 minutes! Phew. I am calm. My precious okies. I can't blame them. You really can't predict the weather here. One minute they're saying an F5 tornado is going to touch down and it sprinkles for a second...and then it flips around and does the opposite. Quirky. Quirky Oklahoma.
Shirley is getting baptized on the 30th! She was going to get baptized this Saturday who would have thunk, our baptismal font decided to get remodeled/cleaned the past two weeks! Hm. Not funny. We had a lesson with her on Wednesday. We watched Prophet of the Restoration. After it finished everything was kind of quiet. Sister Cox quietly piped up, "So what do you think"? Shirley turned to us with tears streaming down her face, "You know what girls, I'd already made up my mind before we turned that on. We didn't even need to watch it." She then broke down in sobs "I've been searching for so long." What an experience, to be here with these children of God, to take part in helping them come to the knowledge of just who they are.
We also had another major miracle happen! The Haley family. We went out to Walters. A little town, population 500 over 30 minutes away and stumbled upon these fine folks. They were an unknown on our ward roster. We knocked on their door and Brother Haley answered. He's not a member and neither is their daughter. Sister Haley was offended over 40 years ago. Well, no one has knocked on their door for years and we were able to get right in and teach them. They want to come to church and be baptized. the second lesson we taught was the Plan of Salvation and Sister Haley says she knows it's true. She always has. She is ready and wanting to come back to church. Blessings. What a miracle!
It's wonderful being here family. Once again, that's all I can say. I'm excited for this upcoming transfer! I love you all. Have only one incredible week!
