Sister Melissa Keables : I Sent A TON of Pictures!

March 21, 2016

Hi Ya'll!

So I sent a TON of pictures, and I hope ya'll enjoy! So I might not send a whole bunch the next few weeks because that should cover me for about a month right?.... jk

I hope ya'll are doing swell and of course going out with the missionaries:D I think we're pretty cool people, I mean we might be a little weird:D But not a whole lot.

Ok so I don't' have too many funny stories to share or spiritual, but see if I can come up with anything:D

So this week we went to Mendenhall, like we normally do, but this time Sister Cothern had to babysit in the morning so we had to walk everywhere. We had planned that morning to see Sister Hutcherson who is a less active that lives in a nursing home, and she doesn't live too far from Sister Cothern, it's about a mile and a half. And because we only in Mendenhall once a week and we're in her car, we don't have a clue how to get around Mendenhall. I'm sure ya'll can imagine where this is going... And if ya'll know me, then you know it's very easy to confuse me, and I'm awful with directions. So Sister Cothern then proceeded to give me directions on how to get to the nursing home from their house. I kinda just nodded my head like I knew exactly what streets she was talking about. And at first I was somewhat confident that we could get there by trying to follow her directions. But after awhile things were looking less and less familiar to me......:D and after a while we decided to ask someone for directions. We realized after talking to this man about how to get to the nursing home we walked a mile in half in the opposite direction. We did eventually get to the nursing home lol In all that morning we walked 3 miles and our legs felt like jello :D

A few days ago we saw Rae, one of our main investigators and we talked about repentance. It was a really good lesson, and she really opened up to us and the Spirit was very strong. After the lesson we asked how she felt and she told us that she felt at peace and happy. I love Rae, she's progressing a little at a time but that's ok. I think Heavenly Father is trying to teach me patience and a few other things:D

Last Tuesday we were tracting and we had a cool experience! But I have to do a little back track. So last transfer me and Sister Williams tracted this same street and met this really cute couple named Emily and Daniel. We taught them the Restoration and they were very open. We set a return appointment and were really excited to go back and see them. A few days later Emily texted us and said they had to cancel because something had come up. So this is where the cool experience happened:D Me and Sister Mellor had been tracting for about 30 minutes and no one had been interested or they hadn't answered. So it was my turn to do our little speech, and this guy opened the door and he looked really familiar to me. And I said that to his face, after about 30 seconds I'm like, "Daniel?!" I can't remember exactly what he said but he still remembered me. We talked to him for a while then his wife pulled up and we talked to her for about 30 minutes to an hour. We found out that they're both still very open and interested in learning more. And Emily told us that she was sad and disappointed that we never got back to her, and that she had been looking forward to us coming back. We set a return appointment, and she seemed really excited!:D I'm pumped to see them again!

Anyways I got to go but love ya'll and have a amazing day!:D

Love,
Sister Keables
