The YSA tri-force begins!

So here's a funny story for you. So this week the YSA Elders in our branch got a call from President that they are getting closed down and we will be taking over all the YSA (this is not the funny part...we were sad about that). So then we were talking about how there is only one sister coming out this next transfer. She was supposed to come out 2 transfers ago but she got sick and so she's coming out now. So we were all saying it would be super great if we trio trained her (which we REALLY wanted to do, not gonna lie) and so we were thinking about that.

So then on Saturday after studies we went over to the other sisters to get some stuff out of their car and we jokingly told them that we were trio training and they were like "Really? Are you lying?" And we were like, "yeah!" Haha and then they were like, "Aw...dang you got us excited!" So then we left and not 10 minutes later President called us and asked us to trio train!!! Man we were so excited it was unreal! So then we decided not to call the sisters and tell them and so when transfer calls came they were like, "Liars. Man you got us good." Hahah because they thought that we really had gotten the call and just pretended like we were kidding! Hahahaha it was classic!

But yeah TRIO TRAINING!!!! WAHOO!!! And guess what? She's from Canada how cool is that? And we know all this because Elder and Sister Dunn told us hahaha they are so funny I just love them (they are a senior couple in the office that go to our branch). Yeah so we spent like 2 1/2 hours this morning doing some rearranging slash cleaning of our apartment getting ready for our new companion!! :)

This week is going to be soooo busy! The elders have a baptism planned on Saturday for this one investigator and so we are going to have to work on setting that up and getting him interviewed and see him every day and all this stuff but it's gonna be good. His name is Thomas and he is SO smart! Haha we were talking to him yesterday at church and we asked him how he was and he said he was really really tired because he was up most of the night researching for a Bill that he is writing. Like legitly writing. As in at some point it's may be put in Legislation or whatever it's called. I was just blown away! He is so cool though. And he referred himself to meet with missionaries and the Elders have basically just taught him all the lessons in meeting just a few times and he's ready to be baptized! We are pretty excited for that.

Carlos is doing great! We had a lesson at President and Sister Johnson's house this week and it was really good! We taught him the Word of Wisdom and he is already living it. He even told us, "It's a good thing that you taught me this today because I have not been doing good on my exercising and eating healthy and stuff so this is like, good motivation for me to be better." Hahah if you only knew him and could hear him say that!!! Oh he is so great. He probably won't get baptized until the end of the year but we are okay with that. We don't want to rush anything and he'll just be that much more prepared when that day does come!!! Keep praying for him though!

So remember Devin? We had met him and then went back for the appointment and he wasn't there and he didn't respond to our calls or texts. Well, this week we decided to try him and he answered and it turns out he was asleep because we had caught him write after work and he had to go out of town right after that so he was getting some rest or something like that....and we had the wrong number! Hahah I decided to check the number with him and I'm glad I did! So yeah we set up an appointment with him for this Tuesday night so that should be good!

Still doing a lot of tracting! We have found some pretty solid people this week! Unfortunately none of them are YSA! But hey, everyone needs the gospel!! So we're going to be going on a few exchanges with other sisters this week to do some pass off lessons and stuff so that'll make the week even busier!!

Okay so here's a cool miracle! We took this recent convert, Patti, with us to try a less active named Kelly in Franklin who no one really knew anything about. Well she answered and didn't seem super open but then guess what? Kelly's mom was there and she's really active and so she kept the conversation going and at one point she was asking for Patti's number or something for something else an that clever woman gave Patti Kelly's phone number too and Kelly was just like, "uh okay" Haha but it was just so cool because Kelly really just needs fellowship. She doesn't have any friends for family in Tennessee. She's from Utah and went to BYU and on a mission and everything but her job paid for her to come out here and she's not the most outgoing person. And Patti just loves everyone so we are really happy that Patti will be able to do some fellowshipping for Kelly!

Next week the Nashville Tribute Band is doing a fireside in our building for the YSA and the Murfreesboro YSA and so that should be good! They are doing their new "Redeemer" CD and I'm super stoked!

So was looking for a scripture this morning to ponderize for the week and I felt like I should look in Romans. So I kind of scanned through it and found Romans 15:4. I just love it!!! "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope" Oh man I just seriously love that! Hope definitely can be gained through the scriptures! They were written for our learning and so that we could have hope! Hope in what? The answer is in Moroni 7:41 "And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the Atonement of Christ." Christ's Atonement is infinite and eternal and no matter how dark the world may seem, the light of Christ always shines brighter!

Sorry this letter is so all over the place!! My brain is really scattered today!

I love y'all so much and I hope y'all have a blessed day!
Love,
Sister Myers
