Week 57

HELLO! IT'S ME!

Sis.Hunt and I are still doing awesome here in Sumrall! Besides how the weather started to get hot and humid again these past few days..but it's all good!! I like the heat!
This week was pretty rough, but I have an awesome companion and awesome ward members around me who are always there to help me out!! SO blessed.

This week we went to Chick-Fil-A with the Williams, and we gave Matt a pass along card, and told him to give it to the guy at the register at the drive through instead of his credit card. He did it. And the kid was way confused. But we all laughed and this kid said he would actually come to church and that he was new to the area and looking for a place to go on Sunday! MORE BLESSINGS! He didn't end up coming to church, but we will catch him. Another excuse to make a trip to Chick-Fil-A right? ;)

There was one day this week and it was probably my worst day out here so far-Sis.Huntand I were SO over this week. So we went to eat lunch and a member was there and payed for our food! This doesn't happen out here in Mississippi guys...only in Utah and Idaho haha. More tender mercies. That brightened our day by 1000000%. 

Even though this has been one heck of a rough week, I know how important it is to pick yourself back up and to keep on going with the Lord's work. Never let rough days/weeks effect your faith and dim your testimonies! Look for Heavenly Father's hand in your life EVERY DAY and PRAY to help see it as well!!

Hey everyone!!

Sis.DeCamp and I are still doing awesome here in Sumrall, MS! Besides how the weather started to get hot and humid again these past few days..but it's all good!!
This week was pretty rough, but I have an awesome companion and awesome ward members around me who are always there to help me out!! SO blessed.

We also celebrated Elder Wandry's Birthday this week! We made oreos and they were a hit (thanks for teaching me how to bake cookies mom!) We also celebrated our half birthdays as a companionship even though mine is not this week and Sis. Hunt's is in December.. Why not right? it was a good time! 

Also Terry is going to get baptized this week! We are really excited for him! And praying that it will be a memorable experience for him! He's crazy and so ready and prepared! It's pretty amazing to see how the gospel can change people's lives. It continues to change mine daily. 

Even though this has been one heck of a rough week, I know how important it is to pick yourself back up and to keep on going with the Lord's work. Never let rough days/weeks effect your faith and dim your testimonies! Look for Heavenly Father's hand in your life EVERY DAY and PRAY to help see it as well!! It's pretty amazing all the blessings you will see when you start to do that!

Week 56

HEY EVERYONE!! 

- Last Monday was like the zombie apocalypse in Walmart, you guys probably are more informed than I am because...you know...#NoInternetLife... but Hurricane Irma is hitting Florida and it's not going to hit us (hopefully) but years ago that's what they said about Hurricane Katrina and it still hit here-so everyone is paranoid about the storms all around us haha. But it's all good here!! Praying for those in Texas and Florida though!!

- I GOT A SOUTHERN GOSPEL MIXTAPE! We were talking to this kid who works in the grocery store in Sumrall, and he told us he sang, so we went to his car and he played his mix tape and sang for us, then gave us a copy of it haha I'm so stoked about it!

- This week we knocked on this lady's door and she wasn't interested, so I asked for referrals around her neighborhood, and she goes, "I don't think people like it when you knock on their doors.." (and Sis. hunt just stared at her..lol we were so done) and she's like "Don't you guys run into that?" and I said, "NOPE! People are actually very nice when we knock on their doors!" And she was caught so off guard, and she was just all like, "OH. Carry on then." and shut the door haha. Tracting is the best....

- We also got dropped by 3 of our investigators which is really frustrating and discouraging, but GUESS WHAT!? Terry is getting baptized next week!! So we are still blessed and very thankful that we can physically see our work efforts going forth and are able to see changes people are making in their lives because they come to know the truthfulness of this gospel!!

Seriously, this is the true church. I would NOT be here on a mission for 18 months in the middle of no-where Mississippi if I didn't want to share the truth with others who don't know about it. It's hard, but so rewarding. I LOVE the people here in Mississippi, and the weather is getting cooler too! Hopefully it stays that way!! Because we love being outside right now! Sis.Hunt and I are doing awesome!! I am so grateful for her and we never want to get transferred and taken away from each other haha. She makes missionary life the best.

p.s: We proselyte at football games in our town on the weekends. No, we are not on dates with other missionaries lol.. that's dumb. Passing out Book of Mormons at a football games is where it's at though!! @ MJMmissionaries

Love you all! Talk to you next Monday!!
