That awkward moment when I have 0 creative titles.


This was like...the longest week of my entire life. But really though. It was so good but so long. Probably just because it was such a different week. P-day was on Tuesday and that kept throwing everything off. We kept thinking it was a different day then it actually was. Friday we thought it was Saturday. On Thursday we thought it was Friday and it was just odd. I would have thought it would have seemed faster because usually the start of our week is P-day. Anyway.....

So on Tuesday we went to Cookeville with Jaleta and her friend Kyler. Wow he is awesome! He is totally going to get baptized! Sometime....haha he seriously already seems like he is Mormon because he's just so nice and genuine. You would have never thought. But yeah he's not really super interested right now but Jaleta gave him a Book of Mormon and he has been reading it! Yesterday we were talking to him on Facebook and I had gotten mad at him because he missed my talk in church (yeah I spoke in church yesterday but I'll tell you more about that in a bit) and I told him that he could make it up to us by reading the entire Book of Mormon by today (because we might see him today with Jaleta) and he said he would but he wouldn't be able to comprehend it and so he would rather I just gave him something in particular to read. Wow! 

So this week we went up to Bon Air and it was kind of foggy as we were going up the mountain and we were like, "Oh great it's going to be foggy all day." But then it was clear!! (sorry more to this story in a second). So when we got up there we went to go visit Dorothy. We didn't have time to teach the Restoration last week and so she said to come back and we set a return appointment. So we got to her house and we saw a note on the door and Sister Sumbot was like, "Hopefully that's not a note to us of her dropping us." And I just laughed. Yep. It was. "To the ladies of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints. I do not wish to study with you. Do not come back. Thanks." Okay now the wacko thing about this was that it was signed from someone named Dean. We think it must be her son but we were like, "Why would he be telling us this?" We still just left anyway but it was just odd....And then I was joking to Sister Sumbot that she jinxed it that she dropped us because she said it was a note about her dropping us. Then that night we were coming down the mountain and I realized that we hadn't hit any fog all day and I was like, "Wow! It wasn't even foggy today!" Yeah I had no wood to knock on and so all of the sudden we hit this really really thick fog that made it so you could really only see the reflectors on the road! Oh it was so cool!!! It reminded me of Bednar's thing about revelation or whatever and we really wanted to take a picture but it was dark so you really couldn't tell. But wow I just love fog. It's so cool! Then Sister Sumbot was like, "Oh thanks Sister Myers! You jinxed it!" It was a day of jinxing. 

Sorry if that paragraph made no sense...haha but anyway, another story about Bon Air. So we went up at around 2 on Friday and guess what? NO ONE ANSWERED! Not a soul. We didn't talk anyone for like 2 1/2 hours straight because everyone we tried wasn't home or wouldn't answer. Oh it was just so weird. And then I was like, "Oh I bet this is just God humbling us because we have seen so many cool miracles!" Sister Sumbot agreed. So then, since we hadn't taken our lunch break we decided to just sit and take a nap for a bit. Okay so at this point it's about 4:00 and we had dinner at 6...on Bon Air so we basically had to stay up there. So we had this dilemma because there was this less active that we planned to see who lived right by our dinner (dinner was with the Lewis family - the ones we heart attacked) but if they weren't home then we would be a big pickle. So we are just kind of sitting there and I kept getting this prompting that we should go tracting. So I told Sister Sumbot that we should go tracting for a bit and then take our lunch break (we were fasting so we weren't going to eat lunch) because it was light at the time and so it was the best time to tract. We don't tract after dark usually. People don't like it. So anyway she said okay and we went to a random street nearby. Finally someone answered! She wasn't interested. Lame. We keep knocking and this lady named Nellie answered and she was super closed off. So we started talking to her and about our message and we also offered to do service for her and stuff. Then we asked her if we could come back and talk to her and she just kind of like, "Well I'm really busy...."Okay the Spirit is so awesome. Suddenly she just starting opening up a ton and was suddenly asking us questions about us as missionaries and what we do and stuff and wow. It was just so crazy! By the end she had told us all the days she works and when she is free and given us her number. Um...WOW!!

The thing is we would not have talked to her if we had seen any of those people we tried before.. Because we wouldn't have gone tracting! We definitely were meant to find Nellie! 

This week we were teaching Bennie and we read Alma 32 about people who seek signs. Bennie is looking for a 'sign'. :/ haha so then as a joke, since we were teaching him at the church Sister Sumbot and Jaleta distracted him and I went to the chalk board and drew something. Picture is attached. Oh it was just sooo funny. 

Yesterday we had 3 investigators at church! Woot! Marie came, not sure if I told you about her, and so did a librarian we have come to know by going to the library every day and also Bennie! Probably because I was speaking in church! Yeah I spoke about why baptism is essential. So funny story. When I first was given the assignment to speak the sisters kept saying that I should write a poem for my talk and I was like, "No way!" And then all the way leading up to my talk Sister Sumbot was telling everyone, "Maybe she'll write a poem for you that she will say!" And I would totally go along with it. So then on Saturday I was like, "I really should write a poem!" But I didn't tell Sister Sumbot or anyone and so I on Sunday right before church started Sister Sumbot was jokingly like, "Sister Myers...you didn't write the poem!" And I just shrugged. Haha she was so surprised when I read the poem I wrote! Anyway so that was funny.

Yeah I know y'all want to read it. Too bad.

I'm just kidding! So a little background: I was talking about the peace that we get that comes with baptism and so I wrote about my experience with that peace and how I know where it comes from. Yeah I wrote in like...well late at night so no judgin'. 

That day came on bright clear day,
Birds were chirping, typical, on the 31st of May.

Some people had their daily things to do,
Watering flowers, cleaning cars and making their place look like new.

I however wasn't mopping, dusting or cleaning,
I was on my way to church: where my life would get a whole new meaning.

"Baptism is important" I thought with my 8 year old mind
"It means I'll always strive to be loving, caring and kind."

These thoughts kept my mind busy as I sat waiting for my turn,
I began to get nervous and my insides started to churn.

Suddenly, I heard my name: and to the font, I walked.
There was a special reverence, and no one wanted to talk.

Taking careful steps till the water was past my waist
I grabbed my dad's hand as my heart began to race.

Positioned and ready, I closed my eyes and bowed my head.
I heard familiar words as the baptism prayer was said.

Lowered in then brought back out, I suddenly felt peace,
I was very calm and warm, my nervousness has ceased.

I was thoughtful as I changed from my clothes, dripping wet,
I felt so clean, happy and bright - something hard to get.   

"Why do I feel this?" I wondered, but just didn't know,
But I never wanted it to end, never wanted it to go. 

Now standing here I don't remember a lot of that day,
But I remember the feeling, it will never go away.

12 years hasn't dulled that powerful and gentle peace,
That words really can't describe, I can only express a piece. 

But this I do know, that those 12 years have taught, 
I know so much more about that peace that at that time I did not.

That peace comes with baptism because I am freed,
Freed from guilt and sin, and every wrong deed.

It's because I am forgiven by my Savior and Lord,
Who suffered for all, he bled from every pore.

He suffered for you: Your grief, pain, and agony.
Because He loves you so perfect and unconditionally.

Then He willing died on the cross for you,
And He rose the 3rd day: so perfect and new. 

That peace from my baptism that I remember so clear,
Comes from my Savior and Redeemer who loves me so dear.

Because of it I know that one day I will be with my father above, 
Because of my Savior's sacrifice to show me His love. 

Although I could never really express this peace that I feel,
I can tell you this: it's more than you could imagine and I can testify that it's real.

There's my testimony of the peace that comes from baptism!! Y'all are amazing and in my prayers! Sure do love all y'all!!

Love,
Sista M

The Weird One


Today is just weird. P-day should not be on Tuesday because it just throws everything off. This'll be a weird week.
 
Got some great stories for you this week! Most of them aren't really miracles but they are so entertaining! Haha prepare yourself.
 

Well first of all Bennie is doing great :) We pushed his baptism date back because we just know he isn't ready yet but that's fine! Don't want to rush salvation! This week when we were talking to him we asked him if he believed that this was the true church and whatnot and he was like, "Well I can't answer yes or no." And we asked why and he was like saying stuff about how he's just not ready to give the answer...but he knows the answer. And soon everyone is going to know his answer when he announces it. I don't even know...he is just one odd duck.
 
So one of the families in our branch: he used to less active and she just recently got baptized and his brother died this week. We went to the memorial service. Then afterwards we decided that we were going to go "heart attack" them. So we go to their house and we drive by their neighbors who we know that are less active and she is His aunt and so we just thought that they were all still at the funeral home. So we park down the road and start walking towards their house and all of the sudden they come out of the driveway. We are a little bit down the road and so Sister Sumbot being....well Sister Sumbot just turns around....haha like they wouldn't know she was there and she just stands there!!! Haha and then I'm just standing there and oh it was so funny. So they drive by us and they are like, "Hi....what are you doing?" And we are just like, "Oh just walking down the street...." "yeah down the street that pretty much no one lives on but us....okay...are y'all okay?" And we were just like, "yeah! Everything's great! Pretend like you don't see us." And they are like "Okay then we don't see you..." And they drove away. Oh it was just soooo funny. Then the next day at church we were joking about it and they said thanks for the heart attack and they were like, "How on earth did you do that without us seeing?" haha it was just so funny.
 
So we had District meeting in Pikeville on Thursday which is an hour away and we had to drive for an hour with the 4 of us in the back on one car. It was quite uncomfortable haha. But DM was good. Sister Sumbot and I trained together on comp unity and it was so funny because we started by pretending like we were going to train on something else. We were going to not have comp unity and then be like "just kidding!" Haha so we start out but the way it happened was just that it looked like we were just so unprepared. Elder Westra (the DL) after we said JK was just like,  "Wow I was worried because you guys just looked so unprepared and I thought it was going to be so inspired since you changed it." Oh it was so funny. The rest was really good though :)
 
Oh guess what? So there's this less active family that we have been working with....well pretty much just the mom. And we go visit her and stuff and she loves to talk to us but she just won't come to church!! So anyway, on Sunday we are sitting there in sacrament and guess who walks in and sits in the back? The 14 year old daughter!!!!! We like...never talk to her and she just showed up. Her family dropped her off but didn't come in. After we sang (all the missionaries sang in sacrament) we went and sat by her. Then we were talking to her on Facebook and she was saying how she hopes her family will come with her next week!! But the thing that is so awesome about it is that literally...just that Friday we had added that family to our prayer list and BAM!!! Wow. Prayer is real. That was just awesome.
 
So here's the crazy story for you. Haha so on Thursday we were at a relief society activity and after it was over we were going to go out with Sister Tucker to see Clem and Ashlee but they cancelled and so we just asked Sister Tucker to take us to Walmart. But our phone was dead so we before we went we called the other sisters from the church phone and told them where we would be (we left them a message). So she drops us off at Walmart and we went and talked to people and then at 9 we went and waited for the other sisters. So then it's like 9:05 and we are like, "Where are they?" So we put the battery back in our phone and just prayed it would work. Miraculously, it does and so we are able to call them. However, THEY DIDN'T ANSWER. They never check their phone...like ever. So we texted them too because they are pretty good at that and we got nothing. So then we were trying to think of someone else who could take us home and the phone died. Great. Try again...no such luck. Soooooo it's like 9:15 right now and we just...started walking! Home from Walmart! We are crazy!! And, Walmart is on the interstate and so we had to walk along that for a bit and then walk up the on ramp so we could go over the over pass rather than cross the interstate. Crossed the over pass and then walked to rest of the way home. We didn't get home till 10. And when we came home we saw that the sister's lights were all off...they went to bed early. And we go in and no one had called or texted us. So yeah we had to call president and tell him (because you have to when you are late) and he didn't answer but wow it was just crazy. Yeah we did that.
 
Yesterday we went on exchanges and that was fun :) Nothing much to say about that really....Pretty normal day I guess :) except for the fact that it was Monday :)
 
Yesterday and today have been over 60 degrees. No jackets on us today! :)
 
Well, sorry this letter is so bizarre....
 
Hebrews 6:12,15 is a really awesome scripture. That is our transfer theme for our companionship :)
 
Love y'all!!! Talk to you in less than a week ;)
Love,
Sister Myers

Obedience Brings MIRACLES!!!!

If you read anything in this letter read the second paragraph and miracle number 3 (and the paragraph after) Wow I'm still dying from how crazy that was.

Well, y'all are in for another week jam packed full of miracles!!! And these are like for real miracles not just "We didn't die while watching movies" miracles. Wow. Last night me and Sister Sumbot were just naming off all the miracles that happened this week and wow...it's just been incredible.

Oh first...y'all need some background information because a lot of it revolves around one thing: Our prayer list and fasting. So last transfer me and Sister Sumbot started a prayer list that we wrote on our window with white board markers of specific people we want to pray for a specific thing we need for them - because specific prayers get specific answers. So every night as our last prayer together we pray for all those people or things. Also, this transfer, we have been fasting once a week and we decide on 3 specific things or people we want to fast for that day....oh yeah and we do it on Thursdays. Except when we had fast Sunday then we just did it then.

Okay so now to the miracles:

Miracle #1: This week we had 2 freezing days. Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday we had the car but Thursday we didn't. All of our members kept telling us the weather and so stay inside because the wind chill was like in the negatives and stuff. But obviously we still have to go out because you know...obedience. So on Wednesday we were talking about Thursday and about how cold it was going to be and we were like, "Okay so it's going to be so cold but we will not go sit at a members house or anything like that! We will walk around as much as needed and we will be obedient! Obedience over death!!!" That was our theme for Thursday. Don't worry...it wasn't THAT bad so we wouldn't die but it was really cold. So then we were like, "Well if you are prepared you shall not fear!" So on Thursday
we put on about 12 layers. I had 2 long sleeve shirts on, 2 jackets and my coat. And on the bottom I had leggings, fleece lined tights, wool socks, then fuzzy socks, then boots and my warmest skirt. I actually don't know what skirt is warmest but it really doesn't matter. Then we got hats, gloves, and I was wearing 3 scarves. Yes, 3 and we had little handwarmers. Haha it was so funny because we couldn't even hardly lift our arms!! I had to put Sister Sumbot's hood up for her because she couldn't reach up there!!! And then, that was on Thursday and so we were fasting and we actually fasted that we wouldn't freeze. So Thursday afternoon the other sisters had someone go out with them and so we actually had the car for the afternoon so that was good. But then in the evening they took it back and so we just had to walk. We were at the Tuckers for dinner and then we were out. In the freezing cold. In our 5000 layers. And guess what? At one point we were both HOT!!! It's like a wind chill of 0 and we were hot!!! And we stayed out the whole evening without a hitch! No crazy miracles happened that night but oh just you wait.........

Miracle #2: One of our less active recent converts is completely smoke free as of a week ago yesterday! She just quit cold turkey and hasn't even had the desire to smoke!! We were over there Thursday night and she was like, "Hey will you guys get rid of my last 4 cigarettes that are in my robe pocket over there?" So we got them and took them outside and stomped them and cheered and it was way more fun than it probably should have been but yeah she is doing sooo awesome. And she's really getting back into church and she is studying the scriptures so much! It's awesome!! Tonight we are celebrating with her!! :)

Miracle #3: This is THE BIG ONE!!!  ("Extremely dangerous. Keep out of reach of Children"..."COOL!" (name that movie!!!)") Sooooooo remember Keesha?!! She is the lady that we met at Walmart with the really hyper child that was really interested in learning more and we went to her house and the address didn't exist and we couldn't find her! So we put her on our prayer list and we have just been praying that we would find her. Well, here's some more background: so like a week after we couldn't find her we were looking for a less active and we were driving down the street and this truck passes us and we looked at the driver and it was Keesha!!!! So we tried to turn around but we couldn't fast enough so we lost her. Then later that day we saw the truck again!! (it has this really unique sticker thing on it so that's how we identified it). Again we couldn't follow it and then like 2 weeks later in the middle of December we saw her driving again!! Again we tried to follow but still no success. Probably would have been way to creepy anyway. So anyway, we would look for that truck whenever we were up there or at Walmart and stuff trying to find her. Then we added her to our prayer list when we started it and have been praying to find her! So then on Saturday, during companionship study we were deciding on what we were going to fast for on Thursday (we were going to just pray extra hard for that leading up the fast or whatever) and we decided to fast to find Keesha as one of the 3 things. So then at lunch, we actually got out late (yeah we weren't obedient) but it's actually because we were making a sign thing for someone and we really felt like we needed to do it for them and so we did and we got out like 3 minutes late or something. So we were walking to town and all of the sudden Sister Sumbot pretty much yells at me, "Look!!!! It's THE truck!!!!" Pulling into the gas station like 100 yards down is what looks like Keesha's truck!!!!!!! So we hurry really fast IT WAS HER!!!!!!!! So we talked to her and it turns out that they had just moved and so that's why we couldn't find her and so she gave us her new address AND her phoen number and she said we could come by any time!!!! WOW!! After a month and half of praying and searching we finally found her!! Wow!!! Wow. Wow!! WOW!!!!!

I just think it's so crazy about how everything worked out. Yes we were late but we really felt like we needed to do this service for someone and had we been on time then we would have been past the gas station when she drove in and we would have missed her!! Also, it's not normal for us to walk all the way into town because usually the sisters drive us but they were doing something else...I don't remember what and so they couldn't drive us in and had they driven us we would have missed her!!! (And it's funny because they drove past us like right after it happened and picked us up and drove us to our next appointment). Also if we hadn't seen her truck so many times then we would not have known that it was her!!!! And also, I don't think that it's a coincidence that we had just decided this morning that we were going too fast for her. Dad, it reminds me of that one time when were on Trax and we only had time to get 1 ticket (because the originals had expired) but we got on anyway and you were like, "We will just buy one when we got to the end) and I was freaking out because I thought we were going to get kicked off. And then the police people or whatever came on and checked everyone's tickets and when they checked yours they didn't even notice and we didn't get kicked off! And then when we got to the end of the line you still just paid for the ticket even though you didn't have to and you were like, "God must have blessed us because he knew I was going to buy the ticket." And that's just like this! He knew we would fast for it and so he blessed us!!! We are going to do a fast of gratitude that we found her now!!!

Miracle #4: So there this lady named Brandi we just started kind of teaching and we have been having a lot of contact with her daughter, Jasmine. And she just loves us and she came to mutual once and this week she wanted to come again. Unfortunately they cancelled mutual because of the cold (and they cancelled school....#thisistennessee) but we told her to come to the church anyway and SHE DID and we taught her the restoration and gave her a BOM and she read the introduction (as of yesterday) and she's just awesome!!!!!!!! She is just so open to us!!!

Miracle #5: So Saturday we were texting Jasmine and we were telling her how we were walking or something and she calls us up and asks if we want to go to Walmart with her and her mom and so we do and we walk in Jasmine points at this lady and is like, "Oh look there's my aunt Tasha!" Okay, background: Brandi's sister is Tasha and she is not a member but is married to a less active and we have been trying to get in contact with them for forever!!! We had them on our prayer list that we would just be able to get in contact with them and guess what? WE MADE CONTACT!!! At Walmart!! All we really did was introduce but hey, we asked to get in contact and we did! I guess we need to be more specific!!!!!!! But anyway that was so crazy!!!

Here are other miracles (don't need as much explanation):
Miracle #6: A less active in my last area went to church!!!!
Miracle #7: We had 2 investigators at church yesterday
Miracle #8: We got 3 referrals from 1 member!
Miracle #9: We almost accomplished every one of our goals this week or got beyond it

Miracle #10: This has a really long story behind it but I'll shorten it: Ashlee's mom lives in Crossville and Sister Sumbot asked her if she wanted to learn from the missionaries and she said yes so we sent the Elders over there to meet with her but every time she sets up an appointment it falls through. We really wanted her to learn so that she would go to church so that Ashlee could go to church with her while she was there. So then last Monday they had an appointment set up and they actually got into to see her!!!! She has been reading Ashlee's copy of the Book of Mormon (and so has her boyfriend) and they were so excited to get their own!!! They both have been reading it every day since last Monday!! On Thursday they were going to take a church tour and forgot but they called up the Elders and later that evening at like 8:30 and asked if they could still do it and so they did and they were super excited to come to church!! They were but then they both got really sick so that didn't happen but it's been a crazy miracle with that this week!!! We have been a big part of it because we have been kind of their communication with Ashlee's mom, Tyra because they don't have cell phones or something like that and so we have been setting up all appointments and stuff. Oh it's just so crazy.

There have been so many others but I just don't have time to name them all and there have been so many I just can't even really remember them all!!!! Wow. Obedience really just does bring miracles!! Exact obedience!!!! Well, I'm out of time so I gotta go!!!! Love y'all tons!!! I was going to give y'all a spiritual thought because I hadn't in a while but I will next week - plus I think this was spiritual enough!!!! :)

Love you!!!
Love,
Sister Myers

10 Miracles: A Story of Bibles, Brains, and Baptisms

This week has been a week of miracles!!! WOOT!

Miracle #1: So on Tuesday we went and contacted this referral that we got. They had requested a Bible and so we called her and talked to her and she was super nice and said we could come give it to her. So we dropped by her house and gave it to her and she was like, "Thank you! I just love getting readings like this!" And then we talked about another great reading - The Book of Mormon! And she was super interested in it and we gave it to her and invited her to read it and asked if we could come back and she was like, "Yeah of course! I would love for you to come study with me!" And we told her if she had any questions to just ask and she was like, "Oh I am always asking questions so that's good! And I'm really teachable!" Wow!!!

Miracle #2: Our brains didn't totally melt from watching 4 movies on New Years day. New Years day was what we call "Super P-day" Wow. We got to sleep in till 8, study in our PJ's and then we got to watch 5 approved movies (but we only watched 4). We watched Frozen (LOVE IT!!!!) , How to Train Your Dragon 2 (great one!), Despicable Me 2 (I didn't think this one was very good I was pretty bored), and the Lego Movie (quite creative but really, really random). Yeah but afterwards we were all like zombies. After going for 6 months (and others longer) without watching a movie...that was just a little much. Our brains were pretty much fried. But luckily not totally melted! Oh yeah and also, on New Years Eve we watched 17 miracles and so that just adds to the list of movies. Also we drank eggnog mixed with Sprite. What a weird combination...but apparently that's really popular.  

Miracle #3: I made it 1/3 of the way through my mission! I hit my 6 month mark on Friday! Crazy! Wowie Kazowie.

Miracle #4: I haven't eaten any added sugar in 5 days. Yup, January 1 we went off sugar (I mean, we can eat natural sugar like in fruit and whatnot). We packed up all our candy and junk food and put it up. Yeah I still have like a box full of it. Yikes. But yeah...we are trying to be healthier. Also we have sworn off other junk food. And we don't eat after 8....and we are exercising a lot! Wowie we are going to be so healthy. Or we will get healthy and then just gain it all back once we get out our boxes of candy.

Miracle #5: So the Elders had a baptism this weekend and we wanted Ashlee (Clem's daughter) to go to it, especially since we had to bring the programs we had printed off at the church and they wanted me to play the piano. So we invited her to come and she didn't really say whether or not she was going to come. So we decided that we would just ask for a ride to the baptism from Clem and then Ashlee would pretty much be forced to come because of the rules (oh the things we do to get people to come to things) but then we were talking about it later and we realized that we can't do that because Ashlee is only 13 and she has to be 16. So we were like, "Oh no! Now she won't come!!" But we decided to be obedient over having Ashlee come. So we rode with the other Sisters and Brother Tucker to the baptism and guess who came? ASHLEE!!! Miracle!! Oh man we were blessed for our obedience!!! So that was crazy awesome!!!!

Miracle #6: ASHLEE CAME TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY!!! Oh my goodness. We were at the baptism on Saturday and we asked Ashlee if she was going to her mom or her aunts (because that's why she doesn't come is because she always goes there) and she said no and so we asked her if she was coming to church and she said yes!!!! And the thing that is so cool is that we started a fast on Saturday after lunch till Sunday at lunch and we fasted specifically for Ashlee that she would come to church and she did!!! Oh man and I think she really liked it!

Miracle #7: We have 2 progressing investigators now!! And they are SOLID progressing investigators! Ashlee is finally progressing and Bennie is doing awesome! He has some crazy ideas but he seems to like everything we are teaching him and so we just have to keep telling him to focus on the simplicity of the gospel!

Miracle #8 (kind of goes along with 6): We had 2 investigators at church today!!! That didn't ever happen last transfer or this transfer! Also the other 2 sets of missionaries also had 2 investigators at church! We all did and that is like - unheard of! Well, not really but it hasn't happened in a long time!!

Miracle #9: Our dryer was being really dumb and we figured out how to make it work. I was telling a story about changing the laundry or something...I don't even remember how it came up but it came up that it takes forever for our dryer to dry stuff...like we have to do it like 3 times before it all gets dry and it's so annoying. And we were out with Jaleta and at the Dobbs's (awesome family, he's a recent convert and she used to be less active) and that came up and Sister Dobbs was like, "Did you change the lint trap?" And we just sort of sat there.....and we were just like, ".....no....." Then her and Jaleta were making fun of us forever. So we went home and checked the lint trap...okay for the record, normally at home I am not dumb and I change it because it's like right in the door so I always see it, but ours is like a little door on the top of the dryer that is always covered with things so we don't see it. So I pulled it out and.......well you'll just have to look at the picture....I reckon our dryer works a lot better now.

Miracle #10: I'm done with this letter now. Y'all were probably dying at how long this is. Actually it isn't that long. That's probably another miracle.

Love ya'll!!!! Have an awesome week!!
