#Gospel's true! #ILoveMissionaryWork!

December 7, 2015

Hi mom!:D

It was really hard leaving Picayune and leaving Sister Mozingo.  Our district was really close, so it was hard saying goodbye to all of them :( But I'm sending Sister Mozingo a Christmas package and a letter, and I can't wait for her to get it!

Florence is awesome and so is my new companion Sister Williams! Florence is a small small town, even smaller than Picayune lol But I love it and I'm pumped to serve in this area! I met most of the members yesterday at church and they're awesome.  We actually just got back from lunch with a member:D I bore my testimony in sacrament meeting and introduced myself to the ward, which was kinda scary but mostly fun:D I'm so excited to serve here! We're going to work hard be exactly obedient and follow the Spirit! It's going to be a great transfer and it's only the first week!

So this week Heavenly Father blessed us with some miracles:D One of them being we found some really solid people who are really interested in learning more. We went knocking doors a few days ago and met this lady who was willing to talk to us but she wasn't very open then a few minutes after talking with her another lady named April came out right before we started to teach the Restoration. April was very open and looked really happy the whole time we were teaching.  She asked some questions and really receptive to the Holy Ghost. We would have set her with a baptism date but her friend wasn't very open and probably would have told to tell us no. But we definitely will next time we go back to see her:D Another miracle that Heavenly Father blessed us with was that he led us to some less-actives. We went to see this lady named Donna who is a investigator the sister hadn't seen for a long time. She didn't have much time so we just shared a scripture with her. After leaving her house we were planning on going and seeing another investigator but she called us to tell us she wasn't home. Then right before we were about to pass her house, Donna called us and asked us to go see Alisha who was the investigator we were planning on seeing. She told us that Alisha's family really needed some prayers. So we went to the house and we started talking to some of the family that was there because someone in the family was dying of cancer. We talked to this older lady for a few minutes and found out she was a member! I was so surprised! And the person dying of cancer is a member too! (their less-active but no for long!:D) We gave their information to the
Jackson missionaries, so now they'll get visits from them.  We also taught someone in prison. Got to go but love ya'll thanks for being the best family ever!!! #Gospel's true! #ILoveMissionaryWork!:D

Love, Sister Keables
