Sister Abby Gibbs Birmingham Alabama Mission: "Too Blessed to be Stressed"

We asked a man how he was doing as he was walking to his car and he said, "Too blessed to be stressed." I love the South :)

This is the last one from Decatur! Crazy Crazy. I love Decatur with all my heart.

This is also my last couple of days training! Crazy right? It's been so fun! Sister Layton has so much excitement for the work. I'm going to miss her. It was too fun to hand out her first Book of Mormon and knock on her first door :)

We had some pretty amazing miracles. I had the opportunity to speak in sacrament meeting and it went well. It was fun to address the ward and invite all of them at one time to do more missionary work. It felt good! I was a little nervous, but the spirit definitely directed me. I'm working on being more crisp in lessons and in talks and I'm progressing! I love Decatur and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to be a missionary here. I've changed so much and learned so much here that will help me throughout my life. Decatur will forever be a part of my heart :)

I will always remember the experiences where Christ has walked with me here. He has strengthened me every day of my mission. I know I'm weak, but He makes me strong. Something I read in Preach my Gospel this week on pg 97 reads, "...our confidence should not be in ourselves, but in Christ." That hit me hard. I have confidence in Christ and I know He will help me succeed. He already is! I know my Savior lives.

I love you! Have the best week!

Love, Sister Gibbs
