*Adversity becomes adventure* and we all know ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!

Dear Family,

Football is everywhere! In Gospel Principles and even sometimes in Sacrament meeting. It's awesome. Sometimes we can get in the door by saying Role tide! Football here in the south is great until Bama loses and then Gospel Principles class looks a little bare. They all go to Mississippi for church! haha just kidding. Roll tide roll.  The Weather is beautiful in September! If I lived here I'd live here in September. :) 

This morning we decorated a display for the county fair! The people there are wonderful. One woman came up to our display and started crying when she saw the picture of Christ. The people here are so steadfast. I'll send you the picture. It turned out really well. Its purpose is to advertise the Christmas activity the Gadsden ward does every year. We didn't want to make it too Christmas like so we advertised the church. There's a ton of pictures of Christ, some of the articles of faith, and pamphlets for people to take. It is really cool. Everyone asked about us as we were setting up so we can only imagine what will happen when the fair opens and everyone sees it. Tallyho!

"Oh they aren't busy they're just bumping guns."

I love the South. This Sunday one of the older folk in the ward told Sister Anderl and I that he killed a snake on his front porch that morning and didn't hang it up.... so it's not going to rain. :)

Elder Ballard quotes about missionary work in Our Search for Happiness, Adversity becomes Adventure. I've seen that come true on the mission. Maybe it's a coping mechanism for stress but hard things become sought after and accomplished. Heavenly Father is right there with us.

I love y'all!

Have a great week!

Steadfast in Christ

Love, Sister Gibbs

PS Bishop asked what song we should sing in PEC this Sunday and I chose for everyone, "There is Sunshine in my Soul today." It was fun to sing it with all those men. Hahahah. One of the Bishopric is black. His name is Kenton Wright or Kenjay. It was fun to hear them sing. I thought of y'all laughing at me picking that song.
