Sister Abby Gibbs Birmingham Alabama Mission: Tupelo!!!!

I love Tupelo!!! I've learned so much here:)

Sister Bailey is my new companion and she is awesome! She's from Eagle Mountain, Utah and has been out 1 transfer less than me! Guess what! We are having a Sister training on the 19th and we are going to have an hour to decorate planners and have a clothing exchange! HAHAHAHA:) Sister Hanks is the coolest!

I met Sister Voyles from “The District 2.” She is a famous missionary!!! and she is part of the display on Temple Square. She is from the Tupelo Ward and was home visiting.

Hey guess what!!! Christine and Shane are getting baptized!!!! This weekend!!!!!!!!!!!! Miracles all around. As we were teaching their lesson, we felt prompted to do what we could to make there Baptism happen. They know it's true. So we sang "Amazing Grace" to bring the spirit and then asked Shane to say a prayer asking if the Book of Mormon is true. After the prayer we pointed out all of their answers to prayer. 1. Meeting Mormons in Utah who helped them during a very hard time in their lives. 2. Meeting the missionaries and members in Tupelo. 3. Missionaries knocking on Christine's Mom's door in Daphne, Alabama. 3. Shane's roommate for his business trip is recently a member 4. Last but not least, the feeling they feel when they are reading, pondering, and praying. After we pointed out the Tender Mercies, we asked if they would like to be baptized on the 31st and Shane said, "how about the 7th?" Wahoo! What faith they have. I love them so much. We are so excited!

Sister Crandall and I had an amazing last day of her mission. We went from appointment to appointment, and the best part is we taught Terrica. Terrica is a result from brownie pan tracting, and the Plan of Salvation lesson with her was the best one I've had. When we told her about the missionaries in the spirit world, you could see the light in her eyes. She expressed how happy she was that her family has a 2nd chance and when we told her about the family sealing power she basically started to cry. She is so extremely humble and ready for the Gospel. She knows it's true. She told us with laughter in her voice, "My boyfriend isn't going to like this!" She's willing to change. #disturbingthewaters. MIRACLES!!!!

Well this all happened between 2 trips to Birmingham for transfers and then MLC. It's been a crazy week filled with so many miracles. I'm so very grateful for my mission and the support I have from all y'all:) Have a great week!

Steadfast in Christ

Love,

Sister Gibbs
