Who keeps flipping the weather switch?

So this week the weather decided to take a random turn and get cloudy and cold with several rain showers/misting all week! We had to bundle up! It was so weird though because it was like literally all at once! Then yesterday it switched back to being nice and sunny. Um what? Nashville weather is CRAZY! Kind of like Utah weather I guess haha

Okay, this week was a great week! It was really long but also went by super fast! It's been crazy!

So remember that Michael guy that we miraculously met last week? Well we saw him this week with a member and had a super awesome lesson with him! We taught a lot of the restoration and talked so much about prophets! He had so many great questions and you could tell that he just really wanted to know! It was so cool!!

Also, we met this REALLY awesome guy named Devin! We were planning to go tracting and the traffic and bus system was taking forever so we ended up at the place we were going to go tracting like, 30-45 minutes later than we wanted to be. BUT while we were tracting Devin's apartment building (like the first building we got to) he came home from work and so we would not have met him if we had been there at the time we wanted too! God is so good! He was super interested and we have a return appointment with him on Thursday!

Okay and here's another cool miracle that at first was really a struggle. On Saturday night, we had like, nothing to do. All our plans fell through and Saturday night in YSA is such a struggle. No one is available. And it was freezing so street contacting was not an option. So we decided to just hard core bus contact. But, we BARELY missed the bus because of the cross walk. So then we literally had nothing to do. We just stood there for like 5 minutes. Then we decided to pray because, you know, inspiration and stuff. So we pray and just keep standing there. I saw this guy across the street that was walking and I was hoping he would cross the crosswalk but he didn't so my thoughts of talking to him were dashed. So then we kept standing there and I noticed the same guy was now sitting at the bus stop of the bus we had just missed, and I knew the bus was not going to come for another like 45 minutes so I was like, "lets go talk to that guy!" So we go and Wow! He was so cool! His named was Templeton and he asked us all sorts of awesome questions like what we do if we had no fear, and a time when we've prayed the most (if we wanted to share) as well as our favorite scripture. We shared some from the Book of Mormon and he was astounded. Like, that's the best way to describe it! He just kept saying. Wow. That was an amazing scripture! (It was Ether 12:27 that Sister Dillon shared) and so we kept talking about the Book of Mormon and a bit of the Restoration and it was just sooo cool. And right after we got his number the bus came. Perfect timing. God is SO good!

A lot of people have been dropping us slash we have had to drop a lot of people this week. Steven is taking a break from the Book of Mormon and praying, but he went to the priesthood session of conference and came to the Sunday afternoon session. But I'm pretty sure it was because of food and the social aspect. Oh well.

We also had a lesson at Anne Parkes house with this investigator named Tessa. I might have mentioned her. But yeah she was very honest with us and said that there were things about the coming forth of the Book of Mormon that she just couldn't believe. She has trouble reading the Book of Mormon and she doesn't go by feeling to come to know that something is true. She has to believe it logically first or something like that. It's difficult to explain. But yeah that was sad. She is so awesome though. Maybe one day. But in the mean time we are still finding good people like Devin and Templeton. And this week we have the car so the slow week should pick up!! :)

Okay well I am running out of time because the internet was being a struggle at the beginning. But hey, I LOVED CONFERENCE!! It don't have any of my conference notes though so I don't really remember much. I loved Elder Holland's and Nelsons. And I am so stoked the Elder Renlund is a new apostle. I met him and he is just so awesome! I'm so excited for Elder Rasband and Stevenson also!!! They will be so great!!!

I loved the Ponderizing talk!!! My scripture is 1 Corinthians 3:16-17! I just picked a random one from PMG!! :) Share with me your ponderizing scripture!! I want to hear them!

I know President Monson is a true prophet and that God speaks to us today through his servants! I know the Book of Mormon is true!!! I love it so much!!! And I love y'all so much!!!! Sorry for the shortness of this email!!! :)

Love,
Sister Myers
