Sister Kaylee Myers: Nashville Tribute Band and Ladybugs :)

There are ladybugs everywhere!!! Seriously!! It must just be that time of year around here. But really they land on you and on the houses and you kinda find one pretty much any time right now! It's crazy! Usually at home ladybugs are like such a great thing, but here people just kill them because they are so annoying and everywhere.

It's been a crazy awesome, sad, fun, and busy week. Yeah so here are the details. We've had some awesome miracles so that's good :)

Monday night we went finding and it was crazy because a few days before we had prayed and decided on these 2 streets we should go on. We went to one and there weren't any houses on that street. So we went to the other one but we both kept feeling like we should go back. So we went back and just tracted the streets by it and the 2nd house we knocked on was this girl who had a best friend who was Mormon and other Mormon friends and had been to church a couple of times. She also told us that she has been looking for the true church that is at least 99% true! Also she hadn't even read the BOM!! So we gave her one and she seems interested in reading it and we got her Facebook because she can easily be contacted there and it was just a super awesome miracle!! :) Then we realized as we were driving home that night that she is YSA. Really?

Yeah that didn't help us move into Tuesday. Skip called us and told us he doesn't want to continue. He's been learning for 7 1/2 months and had a baptism date. But he called us and told us that he was not going to convert because he believes that Roman Catholicism is good enough. But he likes our visits and learning about other religions. That's the short version. Halfway through the call I just gave the phone to Sister Weeks because I just started bawling! After we hung up with him I just cried for like 10 minutes and so did Sister Weeks. I just love Skip so much. Also, he was our only progressing investigator. We used our lunch to go see Sister Philburn (my mission mom, she is the best). That was helpful. Oh yeah and she took us down this road that Tim McGraw filmed his music video "Highway Don't Care" and it was sweet! :)

I trained at district meeting on Wednesday! It was definitely better than last time I trained because I had been preparing for a week and half...I still don't think it was very good but hey...hopefully someone learned something from the spirit. :)

You wanna hear a seriously crazy miracle???? Sorry I'm not telling. Haha jk. So we were in the car with Jim and Sheila because they were taking us to lunch after district meeting and randomly... like completely off topic Jim was like, "hey we've got some good news! Sheila and I are going to start coming to sacrament meeting." WHAT????? I was seriously so shocked that I didn't know what to say. Then he kept going and he was like, "but I do have some bad news...we can't come this week or the next but we will be there the next time." Are you kidding me?? That's the bad news?!! I seriously almost died I was so shocked/excited. Jim and Sheila Rider are coming to church!!!!! And what's more, Sheila was like, "yeah we'll probably just come to sacrament for a while so I can get used to it with Jim before we have to separate for the other meetings." Ah!!!! (For those who are confused and don't know who these people are: they are pretty much my mission grandparents! Jim is a member and Sheila is not and she has been pretty against the church and if you knew them you would know how much of a miracle this is!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!

So then we were planning to find in this place called Colonial Estates because we had prayed about that and felt good about it. But then I realized I actually didn't know where it was. We were over by this one investigator's home and I was like, "this isn't it!" But we knocked a few doors and I was just not feeling it. So we looked on that map book thing and it said Colonial Estates so we went to a street in that area and knocked a few doors. That's when we found Lace! (Lacey, just weird spelling) She was so prepared! We gave her a Book of Mormon and taught her the restoration and it was just so awesome! She even told us that she had been having a rotten day (her dad has cancer and all this other stuff), and then she got off early for like the first time ever. So then she was just sitting at home praying for something to help her and we showed up! Ah!! Amazing! Solid new investigator! :)

Saturday we did SOOOOO much service! We went to David and Janet's and helped David and with the yard by raking leaves and leaf blowing all this other stuff. It was a lot of work! Then we went straight to Jim and Sheila's and helped Jim fill in his pond! THAT was a lot of work. Shoveling dirt into a wheelbarrow about 30 times and then moving the wheelbarrow was a lot of work but I loved it. I love working. It's like working out but you get something out of it. And lately I have really loved working out.

On Sunday we got a visit from the Nashville Tribute Band!!!!!!! Well, they put on a fireside and we got to go if we brought an investigator and so we did! And guess what?? They called up all the missionaries since they have a ton of songs about missionaries and we sang with them!!! It was so cool!!! Some people took some pictures but I have to have Sister Weeks get them off facebook and I will send them next week!!! They are seriously so awesome but a lot of you probably don't even know who they are. But you should look them up because they are awesome and pretty much the only thing that we listen to!! :) Look them up!!!

Well, I think that's pretty much it for the week! I love you all so much!! Have a great week!! :) Also I hope this letter made sense.....

Love,

Sister Myers
