Hey family!
Well I guess we are famous! We have a cousin as an apostle,
Elder Stevenson! I didn't pick that up! That's crazy! That's so cute that
Sophie can say my name:) It sounds like y'all are having fun.
My week has been awesome! I have a new companion!!!!! Sister
Nielsen! She's adorable. She was in Laurie and Ernie's ward! We both did
ballet. She danced at Bountiful Ballet and went to BYU before her mission. We
look exactly alike but she's prettier:)
Blonde curly hair, blue eyes, and is pretty much my twin! Hahah. It's so nice to work hard and to be in the
spirit of missionary work. There is no other sustaining spirit than the spirit
that guides us to help others. Wow. I smiled all night long as I slept the
first night with her there! We did ballet in the morning:) Life is too good. We
switched companions! Sister Anderl is in Locust Fork where Sister Nielson, my
new companion, just came from! We have a blast!
We met so many cool people this week. A Hindu family, many
sweet old ladys who talk our ear off, teenagers in the store, Glenn Beck fans
who say "Glenn Beck isn't like the other Mormons! He believes in
Christ!" All kinds of people. We are loving it:)
One of our faith experiments is posting pictures all around
our house of the family we are going to find this transfer. We drew a stick
figure family with 2 boys, 1 girl, and they have to be wearing some kind of
Bama gear. We are totally going to find them and not just in our apartment on
our mirror but in Rainbow city!!!!!!
Last night we tracted and asked if they would like
to hear a hymn? It was too cool! Sister Nielson has an amazing voice and
the spirit was instantly there.:) Wow it was awesome! So far we are still
working on finding people who will progress. So we will let you know when
we find them:)
Ok, there is nothing more cool than inviting people to General
Conference. Everything we talk about always relates to a latter day prophet and
it's always fun to say "Do you want to know if he is of God? Well, come
tomorrow and you'll know!" Almost all of the people we talk to express
concerns about the world and how bad it's getting or about their families
staying true to Christ. First of all it is normal in the south to strike up a
religion conversation where ever you are. Once when we invited someone to
church in Wal-Mart a woman invited them to her church before we had left the
isle. With this religious enthusiasm they all talk about the 2nd coming and
wonder how to specifically prepare. General Conference is exactly that!!!!!! We
invited everyone it was too fun:)
The highlight of the week was definitely teaching a family about who Jesus Christ was!
Wow. So neat.
Hope y'all have a great week.
Love y'all!
Steadfast in Christ
Love, Sister Gibbs
PS It rained a lot this week with the hurricane on the east
coast. It is gorgeous.
