Expect the Explosion!!!

Hey Family,

How are ya? It sounds like you are having a blast this summer. That's neat that y'all were in the temple together. I promise I was there in spirit.

Well Christine and Shane didn't get baptized this week, but we have no doubt that they will. They are fabulous and I look up to them so much. They have a lot going on right now. We are going to see them tonight:) 

Sister Bailey is a rock star. We had an amazing week. I absolutely love her! We work really well together. This week we got 8 new investigators. Wow! That hasn't happened in forever! On Friday didn't have many appointments except for one member present lesson, and a couple of less active members to see. We committed to finding basically all day and guess what?! While we were tracting about every other door opened up and we taught a lesson. All of them set return appointments! It was crazy! Christa even took notes! We have had a stellar week. We are working on PLOWING!!!! Like a Plow Horse. Thank you President Hanks. I know that the Lord blesses the obedient and the lagniappers, we are committed. I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY. 

Last night at 8:50 we knocked on the last door of the night, and as we did a family invited us in before we even explained who we were. As we introduced ourselves, they told us they knew Mormons and there family member had received a Priesthood blessing from them. Can we say ELECT?! The Mom of the adult family said "I've always wanted to go to that church!" As we explained the importance of the Book of Mormon and how we can know it's the word of God, they looked as if they already knew about everything we said. As we reiterated the highlights of the restoration they said, "Yeah we get it." So they are basically going to be baptized and we are excited. 

This transfer, as it's Book of Mormon month, our zone theme is #expecttheexplosion! Look out friends the BOM is about to explode.:) I have a firm testimony that when we expect miracles they happen. 

Please pray for Terrica. She is one of our investigators who committed to talking to her family about baptism. She is the woman who we found Brownie Pan Tracting. She received an answer! She is fabulous. 

So here's a funny this week. To thank the ballet dancers in Brother Dijkwel's class for dancing with us, we put Epson Salt in little baggies and put a link to the talk "The Music of the Gospel." It was really cute and we hoped they would look up the talk and call us with questions. Well.... they totally thought it was Cocaine................Buahahahahahahaa. Don't worry we cleared that one up real fast. It was quite hilarious. I think all of them looked up the talk now. :D That's the way we planned it all along. Wow. Just Wow.:)

I'm trying to send y'all a video of one of our friends singing some Southern Gospel so stay tuned. I love y'all. Thank you for all of the prayers. I can feel them!! Love you!

Steadfast in Christ

Love, Sister Gibbs
