Hey family!
This week has been
awesome! We've done a lot of work and we feel great! We were so tired last
night from biking, walking, and all the fun stuff we do. It's a blast!
If I could capture
a moment in my mission one of them would have to be Sister Nielson and I flying
down a hill on our bikes singing "I Believe I Can Fly" while resting
our feet on the bar above the peddles. There's tons of hills! I remember
when I saw sister Wittwer do that for the first time I thought she was going to
fall off her bike! I know this is a good work we are doing.
We did a lot of
following up with people this week. Some people stood us up some people were
there! It was awesome!
Our friend D who we
have been teaching for the past two transfers said she would come to church on
Wednesday! We teach Principles of the Gospel that day with the Elders. Almost
every church here has a service on Wednesday. This is huge for D to come
to church because she loves her church but has been feeling the spirit in every
lesson we've had! She got an answer that it was true but now she's praying
about if this is where she needs to be. She is so good at receiving answers
she'll have it in no time:) We are excited:)
Zone training was
awesome! We played a name game that everyone should play before you die.
Everyone stands in a circle and one person points to another person, says
their name and starts to walk towards them. If the person pointing and walking
touches the person before they say another name and walk then they are out.
It's too fun:) I almost won!
Our zone training
was a lot about relationships this time around. President Hanks is always
looking to help us be better people not only better missionaries. I prayed to
know how I could better my relationship's with other and I got the impression
to have a better relationship with my Heavenly Father first. So I talked to him
in my prayer like my best friend told him some jokes and laughed and it made a
world of a difference. People her in the South are so good at that. They will
talk to God anywhere they are! Loud and proud:)
Well I love y'all
and hope you have a fantastic week!
Steadfast in Christ
Love, Sister Gibbs
P.S. WE FOUND OUR FAMILY!!!!!!! Yes, the family that we posted
all over our house in stick figure form! Sister Nielson and I were walking into
Dollar General and we past this family who was in the parking lot. The Holy
Ghost said you need to talk to that family but we were already past them!
TOAST! We turned right around and shook their hands. It's amazing what a
handshake can do. It melted a little of the awkward. As we asked some questions
to get to know them we scanned the family and sure enough there are two boys, 1
girl, and the dad was wearing a Bama shirt. He was waiting to get tickets to
the game! The Mom was close by too. We told them we could share a message with
their kids about Jesus and they were super hesitant. We wouldn't take no for an
answer while trying to be as "normal" as possible. Part of me wanted
to yell, "We've been looking for you everywhere!!!!!! Come, everyone let's
get baptized. :) We have an appointment with them on Saturday:)
Biking up super steep hills- they are everywhere here!!
I
hope you can see how steep that hill is- cause I about died.
Sister ??, Sister Anderl, Sister, Nielsen, and Sister Gibbs
