I'm fixin to get a new companion!

Guess what friends! Sister Wittwer is going to be a Sister training leader sshhh on Wednesday! I'm getting a new companion! Not gonna lie I'm really sad but she is going to be the best sister training leader ever! I love her so much! So this means I have to tell my new companion all about Decatur and show her around and basically plan by myself for the first week. Wahoo! I'm nervous but it's going to be awesome. It's going to be sad when our investigators find out but hopefully some Wittwer things have rubbed off on me

This week was awesome! We had zone conference this week:) Guess who came?!! Elder Zwick and Sister Zwick!!!! GA. Wow our prayers are always answered at zone conference. Dad, guess what he talked about? Marian D. Hanks and shared Mosiah 18:29-30 with us, "all this was done in Mormon, yea, by the waters of Mormon, in the forest that was near the waters of Mormon; yea, the place of Mormon, the waters of Mormon, the forest of Mormon, how beautiful are they to the eyes of them who there came to the knowledge of their Redeemer; yea, and how blessed are they, for they shall sing to his praise forever." That is Alabama! He replaced some of the words like Waters of Mormon with the Tennessee River and so on. Wow, there is fertile faith soil in Alabama. Elder Zwick promised us that if we use the Lord's time perfectly there will be a great miracle here in Alabama. Did you know that Elder Zwick rode into an area in Brazil (Trevor) near Coricheba, wow can't spell that, (#life without google) on a horse with his companion and opened the area!!!! He is amazing. 

Ipads are coming in January!! Elder Zwick said that that is a major part of the miracles that we are going to see. Plus the MEET THE MORMON MOVIE!  That is going to be amazing for the South! People will watch it because it's about Christ, everybody loves him here, and they are going to ask us about the Mormons!!! We are so excited! Elder Zwick shook all of our hands. What a good man:) He really is a powerful man.

Sis Wittwer and I have really learned how to be a team. She's taught me a lot about helping people feel loved. We had an amazing lesson at the Bishop's house with Erin. First of all Erin fit right into the Bishop's family. She got them laughing and smiling within the second we walked in the door. Everyone was so happy to be living the gospel and teaching the gospel that the spirit was duct tape strong! You could feel it in the air kinda like Decatur, Alabama right before it rains. I'm telling you that room was humid with the spirit, we were swimming in our spiritual suits hahaha:) Erin really loved the fact that no one gets paid in our church. She said that that's what hit her the hardest. She realized that we really are serving because we love God not because we get a pay check. It's amazing to see people build their testimony. 

Wow, what a week. Alyssa thank you for your letter:) You will be getting one soon. I love you all very much! Please pray for Sis. Wittwer this week.  Love y'all. I'll catch up on letters promise:)
