Hey y'all!
I hope y'alls week was happy & y'all had the opportunity to have a spiritually enlightening scripture study!
This week was a wonderful beginning to an exciting 5 weeks ahead. Sister Smith & I are embarking on our second half of training here in Cochran, so if you hadn't already figured out.. We are staying! I'm excited because I love Sister Smith so much, she has been nothing short of a blessing to me every single day :) she is always considering what Jesus Christ would do if He was in her situation.
Last Wednesday, Sister Smith & I went over to teach a convert of about 4 years. We are trying to teach her family, there are a few members who are less active and her granddaughter is not a member. Their family is so special, ever since I came to Cochran I always feel the spirit so strongly in their home. We went over with the intentions of teaching them about family home evening, but to our surprise there was a new face in their living room! The members daughter recently moved back home and shared with us about how she believes she has been spiritually led by God back to Cochran! She loves to learn about the gospel and actually used to sit in on the lessons when her mom was taught. We want to begin teaching her, but we haven't had a chance to meet with her again. Hopefully we can see her this week!
We were tracting on Wednesday and it was about 4:30 when Sister Smith mentioned she had to use the restroom. We had 30 minutes before dinner, so I asked her on a scale of 1-10 how badly she had to go. No one has ever deprived me and I was not about to make her wait, but we weighed our options and she offered we pray about it. We felt like we were supposed to be in that neighborhood, so we asked God for His direction. Afterward, Sister Smith said "God answered very quickly because I no longer have to go!" Hahaha it was so funny, God's sense of humor is my favorite. Anyways, we ended up meeting a man who was very interested in our beliefs and he really admires our stake President and his family! God is always aware y'all, humbly look up!
Last night we had about 20 minutes before going home, so we walked through an ally by the church and had a pretty interesting experience. We walked to an apartment complex with two girls sitting on their back step. They were intoxicated and one of them asked us what we believe. When she found out we are Christian, she put out her substance and immediately dove into a conversation. We ended up singing "I am a child of God" to them and one of the girls was so excited, she was pointing back and forth from her heart to her friends heart yelling, "DID YOU FEEL THAT?" Haha I definitely felt (and smelled) it! She invited herself to come to our church this Sunday, which was so awesome, we hope she comes!
This week was full of miracles, my favorite was a member referral we received yesterday from one of the youth. Her friend came with her to church on Sunday and has a lot of questions and wants us to begin teaching her!
I love Jesus Christ and I love His gospel y'all, there is no greater joy than the every day pleasure of choosing to walk with God. :) He knows you, he loves you.

Hebrews 6
9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
