Just another week in paradise

Greetings loved ones!

Today has been a blast and a half! Our most wonderful Sister Aten took us to the zoo today. It was amazing!! I got many pictures and it was delightful. <3 <3 However I digress and we have a week to review :)

Monday- We lost quite a few missionaries, sent them home bound. Sister Saxton was sad. We also went to Hendricks to spend time with people...

It was nice. We were the only sisters for a while. And I was very distracted by the elders, they have some funny stories.  That evening we had a really awesome experience! Sister Crider opened Celestial farms for us to come for dinner and she also had us invite our gators and LA. Everyone we invited came and it was awesome!!!! We had 4 gators and a LA and then us and Sister Crider. Everyone had a good time, and Brother Gathro came at 7 and we had a lesson with Jason. It was really spiritual he is doing so well! We ended the night with a visit to the Langenfeld. (Who were also at Dinner) They are the sweetest <3 Tuesday was a "blah" type day. Sister Saxton was not feeling well in the morning. So I spent the morning reading conference talks. They are awesome, I learned some great things. My advice? Read all the conference talks from last conference (April) before this conference (October). You can do it!!! Then we went out and worked in the evening, it was good. We had a great dinner with a part-member family.

And I love them <3 We talked about eternal families and it was so powerful to listen to the children talk about wanting to have eternal families.  It'll happen one day!

Wednesday we did service at Celestial farms. Truly one of my favorite places <3 Then Sister Saxton started My Plan (end of mission back to reality training and planning. It's very inspired and a great blessing we've been given). O.o Woah! That time already. It's funny to have another companion working through it. After dinner we visited a LA in a nursing home and it was so great. She's a sweet heart! And then we went to YWs. It was super fun! We talked about personal progress and brought some of the cookies from our cupboards. (Not joking when I say people LOVE to give us sweets.. It's pretty bad when it fills a whole cabinet, lol.) And our night ended with a visit to the Evans. Michael is doing so well. I love him! He is so humble and it's amazing to see how far he's come. <3 I just keep praying and waiting for him to get his answer to he can be baptized. It's a lesson on patience for sure.

:)

Thursday we met our whole new district. All the companion ships besides ours has a trainee in it. Very exciting. And now Dunn ave had

2 sets of elders and us sisters. Yay! Setting us up for miracles. <3 however it is also significantly affecting our miles... Hmm, biking is the best! XD Then we had lunch with Brother Butler, he's having some health issues, but it'll be okay! We then did service for Jamie and went to Dinner with Sister Walker. She's the cutest. I love her. We've decided she's basically our aunt. And then we went and saw a LA. It was a good day.

Friday we planned and then went to work!! We went to a nursing home and got to visit some of the sweet people's. I loved it!! Then we had dinner with the Murphy's. I love them! Oh and the Peterson's were there saying good bye. :') It was so emotional and wonderful. Truly the love between those families is life changing, world changing!! I invite all y'all to strive to love more fully and to see others the way the Lord does. Pray for charity. The lives you touch will be changed forever! And ended our night with a lesson with Jason. Sad news he's moving!!! :O It's goo because he's going to be closer to family... But it's also sad. He is so awesome. I know he'll be baptized some day. <3 Saturday we saw sweet Sister Ingram and had lunch. Then we saw Richard and he's awesome. And then we saw the Langenfeld's and had a really great spiritual lesson. Kurt was so sincere! Then we invited him to baptism and talked about what he needs to do to prepare. And he committed to come to church Sunday. We were just praying for a miracle. Then we tried to figure out were to send Jason's records so he can keep being taught. And got a call from Sister Jolley inviting us to dinner and asking us to teach YWs Sunday. Excitement. Dinner was great, then we went to work and biked around her. My bike was poopy and the chain fell off three times. Needless to say I was filthy. Too funny. (But not at the time...) Sunday was delightful. We had a chat with the elders about miles, our area and stuff. They are awesome. Then we came home and did studies.

(We don't have time to do them before church in the morning so we do it after.) And got in contact with the Elders where Jason is moving.

It was great,they're excited for him to come. Then went to dinner with the Smith's and had some amazing Korean food. Kimchi and seafood cakes and tofu and fish IceCream and anchovies.. And so much more it was awesome. Then we taught him the first discussion and it went way well.

Yay!! Miracles. Oh and most important news!!! The Langenfeld's came to church today!! It was awesome. It was a miracle long in coming, like 5 months, but it's all in the Lords time.

Anyways that was my week and I am short on time. I love you all so much. Y'all are always in my prayers.

All my love, Sister Bryans
