Hellooooo theeeere everyone!
This week, like all the weeks of my mission, has been a good one. Remember my last email when I said we went to see Harley in the hospital three days in a row? Change that to four. After our awesome P-Day adventures, we went and had dinner with a cute girl in our ward, Amber, and then we went to see Harley with her. We were planning on going to see someone else, but we felt like we should hang out with Amber, and the person we were going to go see can be a little difficult. We knew Harley would like a good surprise visit, too, but I think this last visit was more for her than him. Let's just say the spirit does miraculous things. ;)
We also got two awesome new investigators this week. Jamie, who we tracked into and is so sweet and is happy to have us come back, and Austin, who has been coming to church with his girlfriend for awhile. Not much to report on them, yet, but I'll keep yn's updated. ;)
On Thursday we got to do something really cool! We started a Book of Mormon study class! It's sooo fun! I just can't get over my excitement for this class. It's for anyone who wants to come every first and third Thursday. It was pretty small this time just because it was the first time, and there wasn't much of a way to advertise since we had conference, but that's okay because the people who did come loved it, and we know more people will come. It was kind of a test run this time, but from the looks of it, it seems like it's mostly just a discussion that we initiate and lead on the way. We read over all of the stuff that comes before the actual Book of Mormon, like the testimonies and title page and all of that good stuff! We talked about the books in the Book of Mormon and where they all came from and all of that fun stuff, and the importance of reading it and finding out for yourself to know if it's true. If ya'll want to read along with us at home and email me your thoughts, that'd be awesome! Next time, the first couple chapters of Nephi!
A few weeks ago when Harley came to church we were passing along our meal calendar, and Harley saw it and asked, "Do you have to be a member to sign up on that?" We were happy to give it to him, and he's been so excited for this big barbecue he's been wanting to throw for us and all of his friends. So, Saturday we got to finally go to it! It was so fun! We all just hung around and enjoyed each other's company. He and all of his friends just jammed out, which is a very normal occurrence over there, and we loved it!
Anyway, I love all a yn's; keep living the gospel! It's the way to be!
Sincerely,
Sister Shelton
P-Day Sun Sphere adventures!
Hey guys! Look what musical came to town!
The beautiful Knoxville Theatre on Gay Street!
This is a cake Harley made just for us when he had his barbecue!
Harley also gave us each this cute little cross.
Harley: I just want to be able to remember Jesus all the time, so I'm thinking of getting a Tree of Life tattoo.
Sister T: Verily verily, I have spoken from the book of Sister T first chapter third verse.
Me: I want him to live in my basement.
