Sunday, October 12.

Church was great! Meetings went well, no one was at church this week

though:( they were all sick, at work, or had something come up so

...that happened BUT it was fast Sunday and we were able to be fed

spiritually by those who bore their testimony and it was great! Sister

pickup and I taught in gospel principles on the Word of

wisdom...hahaha we taught about food on fast Sunday...funny how that

worked out.

It wasn't too bad for being told last minute we were going to teach

it! Lol so thank goodness the spirit teaches and not us! The Ward is

getting excited to do more missionary work, and things are starting to

roll out! And everyone is on board for the 40 day fast- so people are

already signing up now, and are stoked for it. The missionary work

here in the Ward is going to be so much better!! And the we all going

to be excited about too, and we get to to work more with the members

so we don't have to tract anymore...YAY. it's good to keep us

missionaries humble, but not so productive at all.

Then dinner with barrys, then a lesson.

Then another lesson with a PMF- and it was great!

Then Sunday night routine. So that was our week! Many miracles are

happening! Life is great!

Monday, October 13th.

P-day! Did errands, I colored my hair cuz my companion, sister pickup,

noticed a bunch of gray shiny hairs in my head ...she told me this

during companion study...so I looked in the mirror and sure

enough....there were a lot! So guess what I did today too? I dyed my

hair and touched up the color on it! It turned out alright, so

thankful,y those little gray hairs are gone! We did the usual, and

played games at a members home in our Ward, the bramletts ( who have

so much going on right now) and they let us use their game room, fed

us snacks, and hung out with us for a little bit. It was nice, that

was for a couple of hours then we went back to the church to finish

emailing, and now we have dinner so it was a good day today! Can't

wait for the rest of the week.

Have a good week yall! And always remember how much the lord loves YOU.

Enjoy the pics too!

Until next week,

Sister Matchett
