The BBQ Sistas :)

HHHEEEEEEEEYYYYYY FAM,

How are ya? Thank you again for all of the emails, letters, and goodies. THANK YOU! So the ward has given us the name of BBQ Sistas because the best BBQ places in town are Big Bob Gibson's and Whitts (Gibbs, Whittwer) clever eh :) I love the members!

So this week was awesome! Brianna and Alidia are getting Baptized on Saturday! They are Jennifer's daughters. The rest of the family will be soon to follow! Wahoo! They are so amazing I love them so much it's weird to think I met them like 2 weeks ago. Crazy!

We met an amazing gal this week. She is so prepared it's insane. She basically teaches herself the lessons. She didn't know how to pray so she taught herself and had her own little Religion because she didn't know where to find it! She is the coolest! Decatur is so prepared. Thank you Heavenly Father :)

So, funny story…yesterday we were biking in the rain and my chain came off my bike. I got off to fix it when a man came to help and said he wasn't right with God and wanted to be. We could tell he had been drinking but tried to chat with him. He asked us if we taught the word of God and began to be overcome with emotion. He could barely see our tags in all our jackets and such but he knew who we were. He knew nothing about Sister Gibbs but he knew about Christ so he was able to be prompted to change his life. All I had to do was stand there with Christ on my name tag. It really reminded me of who I represent and got me thinking of how I can represent him better. I'm sure that when he sees me pass by someone who needed to hear about his gospel without talking to them, it just breaks his heart. I want to fully serve him and I can only do that with his help. I'm so happy I don't have to do it alone. The man was really concerned about our safety so he gave me a sweet light reflector vest to where. Yeah! We are goin to try to find him when he's sober.

Keep being Steadfast in Christ

I love y'all so much :) Next week I will tell you about a normal day in Decatur Alabama :)
Everyday is adventure! Love ya!

Love, Sista Gibbs

P.S.
We are at the church today because it's Labor Day and the library is closed.  The library is a couple of blocks from our house and the church is a couple of miles.

Love you mom. Have a happy Birthday! Thank you for everything! I got the package and I almost cried :) Comfort food is awesome but knowing my Mom loves me is better:) I love and miss you! Stacy sent me a package too. Will you tell her thanks so much for me.
