If I could be clever like Elder Bryans this would have a better subject... (6/27/16)

Hello my dear ones,

So as you can see from my subject... I am not clever. But I do what I can. :) I am heathy functioning missionary again. So exciting you have no idea. I am so grateful for my Savior and his trust in me. I know he gives us trial and sorrow for experience and if we endure it well, the blessings will be innumerable.

This week was full of adventure, the sunshine state is never dull, nor cloudy to be honest. ;) Monday last we ended up meeting with a former gator and it was really positive. That whole family could be baptized, if they only would make the choice!! Agency is a big deal, as missionaries we provide the tools but you decide what to do with them.

Tuesday we saw our cute little Harry and Opal. Can I say I love them?

Because I do. They are the cutest couple ever! Going on 64 years of marriage I believe. So sweet. <3 Who says you can be a romantic as a missionary? ;) Wednesday was farewell to our beloved mission President and wife. I will miss them so much! They have been such a great blessing in my mission. I have learned so much from them and I love them. <3 Some day I'll go visit.

Here they are, my beloved mission Momma and President. <3 I am actually very excited to be meeting with President Lee and Sister Lee this coming Wednesday. I have no doubt they will be amazing. I love them already!!! 

Thursday was an ordinary day. We had correlation, we taught lessons, and came home for bed. I am a very sleepy missionary.

Friday was weekly planning. It went alright. We made some good plans. Sadly this day our gator family had to cancel an appointment. :( But we found other ways to stay busy. Like getting a milk-shake. ;) Even missionaries have stressful days and need a break. Oh! And stressful days are when the Lord sends members. We met a member family from South Carolina and they offered to by our dessert it was so sweet. <3 I love how the Lord uses ordinary people to be a tender mercy in the life of another. Never doubt your worth. The Lord needs you!

Saturday was a super Saturday!! We met with 2 LA's and had to lunches. ;) Sacrifices missionaries make. We love LA and LA work is so important. The Lord won't give us new sheep if we can't even take care of the ones we have!! SO do what you can to help the LA in your area. And pray for Miracles!!! We also taught Rachel, she dropped her bap date, she doesn't feel ready yet. And there are some changes that need to be made for her to be able too. But we love her and are still praying for and expecting miracles. Because that's what we do in FJM! =D

Sunday we had our Ward Council and it was awesome!! We have some amazing Leadership in Dunn Ave. I love them all!!!! <3 <3 Also Thomas, Becky, Jasin and Breanna all came to church! Yay! Jasin is so popular in primary. I am so proud of him. He truly has a beautiful testimony, he'll be an amazing missionary one day. Oh and best thing ever! Jasin is so excited for when he's 12 and gets to pass the sacrament, we were talking about it the other day and he is just adorable. ALSO we invited Breanna to begin reading the Book of Mormon and she has!!! All on her own. I am so excited. We are going to work with her and try and get her ready for baptism too. Sunday evening we went over to their house and discussed the Baptism interview questions. Listening to Thomas and Becky and Jasin bare testimony and answer those questions made my heart sing!!! <3

We did however have to move their date back to the 16th. They just need some more time to work on the Word of Wisdom. But they can do it and we are praying for them! They are so amazing and I love them!!!

That was my week. This week will be filled with miracles and tender mercies. I want each of you to know that every Baptism is a miracle but not every miracle is a Baptism. Anytime you see Gods hand in your life it's a miracle. So open those peepers and see the miracles!!!

I love you all. I pray for you all. 

Love Sister Bryans   

PS  So a LA gave us a present. :)

It is a hanging fairy. However due to poor eyesight she didn't finish painting it so we need too. 

Isn't she pretty? 

Our sweet Sister Langenfeld knows we like fairies so when she gave me her she said, "this is for you and your Momma." I haven't decided yet but I think I may just send her home and then I don't have to lug her around. :) 

I love you Momma.
