First things first! Our awesome emmaus experience! Which is another phrase for saying like a super spiritual and crazy out of the blue experience. It references to the Road to Emmaus story in the scriptures when Christ is walking with His disciples after he is resurrected and they don't even know it. So it pretty much is the same for us as well. It's an experience where Christ is walking with us and we don't realize it until the miracle happens! So here it is! WE had an emmaus experience which started in tracting in 30 degree weather! We were going to go to quite a few different Follow Ups but for some reason just kept driving. We finally parked on a street we had never found before and got out and started walking. We just kept walking and walking past houses, for some odd reason, when we finally came to the very last house on the end of the street. We then decided to walk down their super long driveway and which we saw people watching us through the windows. It was a little bit awkward I must admit. So when the man opened the door very quickly, we thought he was going to tell us to go away "leave you crazy mormons", but instead welcomed us in with open arms, helping us to get out of this cold weather! We then proceeded to talk to him and his wife for a bit, and when the time came to introduce the Book of Mormon, the spirit was already SO strong! Sistah Terry and I both bore testimony of it truthfulness and the happiness that it brings, and the spirit was just tangible! I have never felt the spirit so strongly when bearing my testimony before. you just know it was testifying to them of the truthfulness of our words. They gladly accepted the BOM and are going to read it every night together and pray about it to see if they can find that same happiness! And I KNOW they will get an answer if they do this! Sistah Terry and I had no idea why we kept driving or walking past so many houses but we know that we were being led by the Spirit and that Christ was walking side by side with us! Such a cool experience! Ill keep you updated on how they are doing!!
We got our transfer calls this past Saturday annnnnnnnnnd I will be staying in Alex City for another transfer! Yay!!! But sadly my beloved Sistah Terry will be leaving me to go to the opposite side of the mission in Corinth, Mississippi/ Tennessee! Craziness! I will miss her so much! She's been here so long I feel like Alex City won't be Alex City without Sistah Terry preaching the gospel here but all is well cause Im super pumped for my new companion!
We were able to rake a lady's yard this week! Ohh by the way it got down to 17 degrees this week so just a little cold! Plus humidity no big deal, I just froze the whole week! But thankfully the day we did this is was in the 40's so all is well! But we thought it would take only a short while like an hour or so but then 3 hours later we had only done half of it! hahah and by that time a landscaping business had pulled up, done the neighbor's yard and left, but not before handing us their card so we wouldn't have to "work as hard as we were then". So were definitely calling them and asking if they would like to learn about the gospel! wish us luck!!
Okay! Quick funny Story!
Almost pee'd my pants in the Walmart parking lot! Sistah Terry was making me laugh so hard! And i just about sat down in the parking lot but all is well, I kept my cool and made it safely to the bathroom, but we just know people were watching us like "those crazy mormons..." but it's okay cause there were only like 5 people there cause the whole town pretty much shut DOWN for a little cold weather and possible snow. haha i love this place!
