It's All Over My Hand!! W65

Happy fall y'all! All week I was convinced I was living in a southern fall hallmark movie. It is so beautiful here and the weather has been perfect. 

Let me just start off strong with one of the funniest nights of my mission. It all started during our lesson with this new family. We were teaching them and when the mom looked away, me and all my comps looked at each other and said, "it smells like poop!!" We thought it was one of the kids. And the whole lesson it smelled sooo bad! I stood up from teaching the kids the plan of salvation and I looked at my hand and there was poop all over it!!! Me and my comps were laughing so hard, and I put so much hand sanitizer on. We finally realized my comp stepped in a huge pile of poo and it was all over her shoe. We threw her shoe outside and continued the lesson. Sifae, who we were teaching was dying. She said, "when y'all came in it smelt bad, but I didn't say anything." We had a good laugh about that one. 

So let me tell ya about Ethan! We met Ethan a few weeks ago at church. He told his dad he wanted to start coming to church, so his dad, who's been inactive for years, started coming back. Ethan walked up to us on Sunday and said, "I wanna be baptized. So can I start taking the lessons?" We were shook! He's 12 years old!!! We have a lesson set up for this Thursday at a member's. So, I'll keep y'all updated. 

We got to watch the primary program at church! It was fun to see kids we are teaching up there singing the songs! Charlotte, who's getting baptized in 2 weeks, was up there singing, "Heavenly Father, are you really there?" Also, another update, Comfort has been coming back to church, who we found during general conference! She's loving it too!

We had exchanges and I got to go to a little town in Berea and live my dream. We went to a cute farm with a young couple who we got to teach the plan of salvation! The husband isn't a member and they had the cutest baby! They were all wearing their cowboy boots and were just the happiest little fam. 

We got to eat pizza by ourselves in the biggest house I've been in on my mission. It was a mansion! We also had such a fun ZLC and it was Halloween themed. 

Overall, the work has been so good. I'm loving it and finding so much joy through sharing my testimony of Jesus Christ. He lives. He loves you and I know it!
