Sister Abby Gibbs Birmingham Alabama Mission: Decatur is Exploding!!!

Me: Where did the name Decatur come from anyways?

Sis. Wilson: " Ya see tha Decatur (crater) over yonder? That's probably where the name Decatur came from." The South!

Did I mention that people here in the South just talk all the time? Well yeah they do haha. We'll be chatting to someone about how they have received answers to their prayers and they will go off on this hour tangent about how their daughter, son, spouse, dog, cat, horse, cousin, and themselves have come to know Jesus. It's awesome!

Conference is coming!!!!!! I'm so stinkin excited!!!!!! Guess what's even better? Erin's getting Baptized after conference on Sunday!!!!!!! She is so ready. We took Erin to Women's Conference and she loved it! She cried during Pres. Uchdorf's talk! It was amazing to see the promises of accepting the gospel really do bless people! We tell people that every day but it was amazing to see it in action! The Gospel is TRUE!

I attached a picture of Sis. Wittwer, Ivy, and I:) I don't think I've told you about Ivy. Ivy was a member referral from Dianna:) She is the most happy, amazing, and charitable person I've ever met. Her personality reminds me a lot of Lise Tuttle:) This is one of those people that you know you've met in the pre-existence. She met her husband on a bowling team! She also is an amazing quilter. She is a grandma of the sweetest girls in the whole world. One of them is mute and requires a little more attention from Ivy and her mom. Whenever Jazmin see's the sister missionaries she does the sign language sign for sisters and asks when we are coming back. Every day she gets off the bus and asks "Sisters?" She is the most precious spirit I've ever met! Ivy watches her reaction to the sisters and says there's a certain glow about us and because of Jazmin’s reaction we must be special. I swear she is already a member. She also said she knows us from somewhere and asked Dianna if it was possible that we knew each other before we came here!!!!!! Ivy is amazing! She is so prepared!

We told Ivy about our Book of Mormon challenge and she committed to do it with us!!! We wrote our testimonies in the front cover. She said but I can't promise I'll join the church!!!! Funny Lady haha. She gave Sis. Wittwer and I those quilts in the pic. She gives quilts away to charity and was showing us all the ones she had made and then without hesitation she said and these are for you! She is the most godly person I've ever met. There is so much potential it's insane! I'll definitely keep you updated.

Sis. Wilson and I are the coolest team. She is amazing! I love her dearly:) She takes care of me and I take good care of her. She's also hilarious! We are feeling great!

Taylor has email! what's his email?

I love ya fam:) Have a week that's steadfast in Christ:)

Love, Sista Gibbs
