Vols Won!

Hey ya'll!

So, this week has been good. We got a new investigator, which is always fun!  His name is Derek.  We only met with him once, so there's not too much to report, but let's just say that he should be invited to a fast and testimony meeting, because he is very passionate about Jesus, and that is awesome!

On Thursday we went over to see our investigator, Dustin, at his job. He works at a place fixing cars.  Lessons with him are always interesting because he always has someone pulling up with a jacked up tire at any given moment, so sometimes we have to sit around and wait for him to fix it, but we try to not let there be any wasted time or anything, so we have talked to quite a few of his customers about the gospel, while they wait, and even given away a Book of Mormon while we were at it.  It's pretty great!

Ever since the new change where members can feed us if they come on a team-up with us, we've been getting a lot more food, and a lot more team-ups.  It's really awesome! Good for everyone!  It's awesome because we've been able to meet a lot more of the ward members this way, and gain their trust as well.  (Disclosure: This paragraph was mostly put in just for the sake of my mother's sanity.)  ;)

On Friday we went over to see a less active member, Emma. She is really sweet! She's deaf, and doesn't know sign language, so we just have to write to her.  But we're totally good with that! She's just the sweetest lady ever, and you can just tell how much she enjoys our visits! I just hope she can tell how much we love going to see her!

On Saturday we were able to track down a less  active family: the Zellers.  They're pretty cool, and they have the cutest kids!  We mostly just got to know them, but we shared a brief message with them as well, and we'll try to see them again in the next coming weeks!

Later on that night, we went over to Sister Bundy's house to watch the Women's Broadcast with our less active member, Virginia, and our awesome investigator, Emily! It was so fun to be there with both of them!  I loved the talks that were given, like Uchtdorf's "fourth floor, last door."  Some times you just have to keep on going until the end.  If you didn't get the chance to watch it, I'd definitely encourage you to do so!  Just go to lds.org!  And be sure to watch General Conference this Saturday and Sunday!  Incredible things happen when we follow the council of the prophet and the spirit that's there with it.  I can't begin to tell ya'll how excited I am to hear our prophet speak.  He truly is a man of God. But we can't just listen to what all the speakers have to say, we must act.  "In the end, we'll only regret the chances we didn't take."

Sincerely,
Sister Shelton

Also, just thought I should let ya'll know, the Vols won this Saturday! We were knocking doors right across the river from the football stadium, and fireworks would go off every time they made a
touchdown.  First time in over ten years, baby!

Sister Hamp got her ears pierced today, guys!
