Happy November!!

I hope Halloween was good to each of y'all :) We had a wonderful week full of tricks & treats... (candy) corny ;) but really. 

The highlights of last week include watching 2 people enter the waters of baptism!!! Also finding 2 more people who have desires to learn, and y'all they're incredible! 

Cori's baptismal service was on Saturday & teaching her has been such a joy, I feel lucky to have stayed here to be apart of her journey :) After she was baptized she described her feelings in one word, "fluffy" haha! She was most excited for her "baptism by fire" and I think every single individual felt the Spirit fill the room as she was confirmed. Cori is special, honestly her whole family is! And we were so excited to see her friend, Juliet, at her service to support her. We hope we can teach Juliet's family and that Cori will want to come with us! 

On Sunday, Recruit Grizzard was baptized at Parris Island! It was an incredible experience because he was baptized right before the Sacrament and all of the recruits were there to support him! Then he was confirmed after the Sacrament was passed :) Okay but what I find cool about him is that he is from Cochran, my last area! I remember meeting his older brother a couple of months back with Sister Smith! Recruit Grizzard learned a little bit about our beliefs from his girlfriend & her family before coming to training on base! He has been dating the Stake President's daughter, a young woman from Cochran! She is one of my favorite people, she is an incredible member missionary! She recently got her mission call to California. 

We started teaching Recruit Johnson on Sunday and she has a unique situation. She is engaged to a member, Ammon (haha), and has been searching for peace her entire life. Before she came to base she was reading in the Book of Mormon, but when her mom found out she threatened to kick her out if she kept reading. Buuuuut, now she is free to read at her leisure :) She has some challenging questions, but we are grateful because she asks with an open mind. She's just very intelligent haha, but we love every opportunity to rely on the Spirit! Her fiance recently moved to Utah, so that is where she is will return.

We also had dinner with member family yesterday and the daughters boyfriend said he would like us to teach him! He works nightshift, which is perfect for our schedule haha. We are excited to teach him at their home :)

This week is transfer calls, so next preparation day I will know where I will spend my last 5 weeks in the mission! Can y'all believe that??? Ah!

Have a wonderful week... or not, the choice is yours! ;)

Moroni 7:16
"16 For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God."

Love y'all,
Sister Morrill
