Dear loved ones!
The end of May cannot be here! Its goes so fast!
This week I want to testify of the promptings of the Spirit. 3 occasions this week.
1) I don't know if I mention Vince in last weeks email. Well when he first called us back to tell us he was interested in learning more, I had an uneasy feeling. I thought it was doubt so I just pushed it aside and wanted to go forward with faith. Well little to say that he was not interested in the gospel but interested in us. So it was a prompting.
2) We went to go see a member that we hadn't yet met and frankly didn't know if she lived there any more. Well we knocked on the door and we heard voice but couldn't make out the words. We yelled "Its the missionaries!" Same thing, voice but couldn't understand it. I had a prompting to just walk in the house. (Whats the worst that can happen?) The lady that lived there had fallen on the floor. She had been stuck on the ground for about an hour and had been calling for help. We helped her up and chatted with her. She didn't break anything she just couldn't get up. We learned that she was Judy (not the lady that we were looking for) but just a miracle because the Spirit prompted us to just walk into the house. We did and that happened!
3) We went to see a less active named Thomas that we have been trying to get ahold of. We went to his house. No answer. We started driving and I saw a man that was walking and I got the prompting "Ask if he is Thomas" So I drove to turn around and ask and before I got to him, he went into the house we just knocked at. Would you believe that it was Thomas!
I just bear my testimony that the gift of the Holy Ghost is real. In the words of one of favorites.Elder Busche says: "The greatest achievement one can have in this life is to be under the complete influence of the Holy Ghost, then he can teach us what is really good and necessary to do." This is true! We must do the things that will make us worthy of the Spirit. This gospel is true and I say again and again,Christ is our Eternal Head.He guides this church.

Puppies are like the greatest thing ever, especially when they yawn.
We love days with messy buns and the gospel!

Hello everyone!
Training in Gaffney is going so splendidly. We have seen so many miracles since we took over the area. We went on exchanges this week and Sister Johanson came to Gaffney. We had such a good exchange. I love my STLs. We got new investigators and had so many lessons. The highlight was Saturday when we received two phone calls from people who we met earlier declined our offer to learn more. They called us and one wants to learn more and the other wants us to help her organize and plant flowers. We just had such a fun week! The Lord truly is preparing this area.
So on the spiritual note... The Book of Mormon is true. I love the pink sticky note because the Book of Mormon connects with the Bible. It shows that Jesus is the Christ and that His gospel is true. The Book of Mormon does NOT add to the truth already in the bible but compliments it and gives us His gospel in full. I know that as one takes the time to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it, they will come to know the power that can flow into their life from it. They will also come to know how much it truly adds to their faith in our Savior.
Watch this video because Elder Holland can say it better than me. Also here is the talk the video is from. He lays the law down. It is one of my favorite talks ever. And I add my testimony of the Book of Mormon. It is true.
I love you all and hope all is going well. Know that Father in Heaven loves you so much and is so aware of everything you are going through.
God Be With You Until We Meet Again

Hello!
This week was insane as always! Every investigator that the other sisters were teaching fell off the face of the planet. Natural. So we are building up our teaching pool. We met this lady named Sherri this week who was so excited to see us. She saw our name tags and grabbed our hands and pulled us in her home. I couldn't tell if I should be worried or excited that we got into a home so fast. Very pleasant lady and she invited us back this week!
Also we went to see a less active and he has a sheep farm. He went on to tell us we could put them and feed them. We were so excited! And then after it dawned on us... "Feed my sheep" Guys, we LITERALLY fed His sheep. It was hilarious. The greatest thing about this week was Stake Conference. We went to Greenville and Elder Dube of the Seventy was there. His remarks were so great! The Spirit was so strong. With that being said, we also learned at this meeting from our mission president that they are closing the Elders area and we are taking over all of Gaffney. For reals!? The whole thing is huge! This week I was constantly reminded of patience. Patience stuck out to me for everything. We all need to learn patience and this girl needs a lot of it.
This week was really quick and really short. I hope all is well. My invitation to all is to go watch this video. Really a single step makes all the difference.
I know this church is true. The is the restored church of Jesus Christ. He is our eternal head. The Book of Mormon is His word. I know my Savior lives!
