Dear Family,
Transfers are today... Time has flown by too fast and I cannot
believe that it is so close to the end... as of today we are looking at
only 6 weeks left of being a full time missionary.. and I am so sad. I
love being a missionary and am going to do my best to serve faithful to
the end. You're just as much a missionary your first transfer out as you
are your last!
Lets see... Transfer Info..Sister Johnson and I are staying
together this transfer in FLOWOOD!! I am really excited. We get along
really well and work well together so.. I'm excited! :)
Sooo this week was another great week in Flowood, MS.. I think last
week I told you we had stake conference..well Cody came!...and this
week he is going to be baptized! Saturday at 7pm. We pushed it back so
that we could announce it in church on Sunday. No worthiness issues or
anything..just wanted to do it at a time when he could have the most
support. I cannot wait for him to be able to enjoy the gift of the holy
ghost in his life. This man is so worthy and deserving of baptism. I am
so excited for him...Now the icing on the cake..Noah..his son wasn't
thinking about baptism for himself..but after going to the youth trip
and having a great time.. we asked him on Sunday at church if he wanted
to take the lessons for himself to get baptized and he said he does!! He
set a date for his baptism of November 17th. :) We are so very very
excited for him!! :) This is the best family and they deserve this.
Well what else happened this week...oh I know! CRAFT NIGHT! We had a
craft night on Thursday night.. but no one came... but.... We had book
of mormon class on Wednesday night and guess what! (what sister Urie..)
we had 7 ward members come and two of our investigators come to the
class plus all three sets of missionaries! It was an amazing class and
we are hoping to continue to have a great turn out.. we texted 51
people to remind them to come..so hopefully..if we keep texting and
reminding so many people then our numbers will stay high..ha..well we
hope. ha.
We were able to go out on exchanges with Sister McDonough this past
week. It was great to be able to visit the less active sisters with
her. There are so many sisters that are less active that just want to
feel loved and wanted and when they feel the spirit again and remember
why they were there in the first place they will come back.
Remembering... Funny that that's all it takes.
Well I cant wait to tell you about the baptism this week..that is
actually going to happen! love you and hope yall have a wonderful week!
Love, Sister Urie.
Please write me.
Southernism: don't know if I told yall this.. but I heard the one
of instead of saying oh man or oh wow..or what'd ya know...say "dagum!"
