I hope y'all had a wonderful two weeks, I apologize for not writing last week. I was transferred last Tuesday from South Carolina, right back to South Carolina! Sister Whitworth and I white washed into Coker Springs :) She is from Southern California and I love her! We actually served in the same district when I was serving in Cochran.
We had a fun week :) From what we understand it has been a couple of months since Elders last served here and Sisters haven't served here for a while. Swainsboro, my first area, is actually in the Augusta Stake!! So I am happy to be back here because this stake is incredible. The members share the gospel left and right & I love the Spirit I feel here :)
This area is a little different, we are sharing a car with the Elders haha. We switch off weekly, so we walked a lot this week(We tried to bike, but thats a story for another time).
On Friday, we went to use the wifi at Walmart and while we were there we kept seeing the same man pass us several times. As we were walking home through the parking lot, a car pulled over and it was him! He asked if we needed a ride, which would make him around the 10th person to offer this week. Southern people are so generous! We told him we were glad he stopped because we actually wanted to invite him to church. His name is Brother Mendoza & he was interested so we left him with the church address and got his contact information!
Sunday afternoon (Sacrament is at 1PM here) we were pleasently surprised when we discovered it was the Primary program! As we were singing the first song, I thought about Brother Mendoza and wondered if he was there. He seemed sincere about coming, so after I glanced around I decided he was either not there or I could not see him. I looked out the doors and saw a man who looked like him in a suit, I nudged Sister Whitworth and she immediately waved him over. I was glad she was certain that was him because I couldn't tell. We were so excited he came!! He seemed to really enjoy the program and even stayed for the following class and the ward pot luck. I think more people introduced themseleves to him than us! Haha it was definitely a great note to end the week on, this ward is so much fun.
I love the play on words in this verse
Alma 7:20
"I perceive that it has been made known unto you, by the testimony of his word, that he cannot walk in crooked paths; neither doth he vary from that which he hath said; neither hath he a shadow of turning from the right to the left, or from that which is right to that which is wrong; therefore, his course is one eternal round"
I hope y'all have a great Thanksgiving! I love y'all :)
