Week 67: Hurricane?...what hurricane?‏

Dear Family!
 
It was another great week in Flowood, MS. and I am please to report that we did not get blown away in the hurricane. To be honest it was a let down. We did have a little bit of rain..and it cooled off quite a bit but nothing like i thought it would be.  
 
This week was really neat because we were able to see sister Mokalake and have dinner with her before she left. It was so great to see her. She is such a great missionary. THEN. we were able to go on exchanges with the new temple square sister and sister Chai who is serving in Slidell Currently. They were down from the hurricane from what we hear it hit Slidell pretty good..but just lots of rain?..we have a sisters conference coming up in a few weeks! all the sisters are going to get together in the mission home.
 
So this week one lesson that I really learned was that you cannot sit around and wait for good things to happen. You need to get up and do it yourself! I think of Walt Disney..yes I do..and all the great things he did..or all of the wonderful prophets we read about in the scriptures..they put their ideas into action and in turn got blessed them with more ideas and means. Makes me want to be better and try even harder.
 
oh yeah..Vicksburg! We went to Vicksburg today with the sweetest couple from the Clinton ward. It was so much fun. Great to see some history and learn more about the area too.
 
On the Investigator front..or people we are teaching, no one is really progressing and no one came to church this week.. except our one friend who is less active! We have been working with quite a few less active people and slowly they are all progressing towards coming back to church. faith unto repentance!  
I think my favorite part about this last week would have to be Friday..Everything we did..everywhere we went was divinely inspired I know it! it is amazing how when you pray to see the lords hand in your life how he really can work miracles through you and help you to see that he really is the one in charge.
Know that I am praying for yall and that we are working hard everyday to find and teach those who are prepared the Great message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. that all can be saved from sin through the atoning blood of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
Hope yall have a great great week! 
Peace and Blessings..love, Sister Urie :)
 
Scripture: Mormon 9:14 Forget not to be happy NOW.
Southernism: This week my southernism is all the pictures from the Vicksburg civil war park. It was awesome. The battle of Vicksburg...I found some family names in one of the places too.. Urie is URE..but it still works! lol
Tracting Tips..none..all washed away. ha
