10 MONTHS! August 4, 2014

Hey Everyone!
 
   Well I'm staying in Columbus for another transfer! We aren't Sister Training Leaders anymore which I think is ok because it was a lot and I think it made Sister Sevy more sick. Now we can just focus on making our area even more awesome than it already is! Man this week Satan decided to have it out for us and our investigators. Here is a recap.

Carrie: Last Sunday night a bat got into her house through her chimney and attacked and bit her when she went inside her house. She now has to get the whole round of rabies shots and they are making her really sick and not feel good so we haven't seen her all week! We are really sad about this and really worried about her.

Destini: She is doing good! We had great lessons all week, she passed her baptismal interview!! Yay! She went and waited for Marshall at the temple on Saturday and loved it! She does have some personal concerns that could be a challenge but we are going to try and clear those up tonight. Other than that she is doing well! 

Lee's: Sister Lee is still pretty sad/depressed. However Brother Lee continues to like us more! I don't think he would admit it but he does like us. He informed us that apparently some Dr. contracted Ebola over in Africa and is now in Atlanta being treated/probably dying because Ebola has a really high mortality rate. He was very impressed that I knew what Ebola was. We go over quite often and read the Book of Mormon with her and he is actually starting to participate! 

Cheryl: She had a rough week, kept canceling our appointments and she has all of these sores from her uncontrolled diabetes. We went over last night and got her back on track so hopefully she will start progressing again. 

Sister Sevy has been feeling pretty rough most of the week. We had exchanges with Phenix City and that was fun! I went there with Sister Gray and we taught the Plan of Salvation to a guy who was high and got a referral from a drunk guy! It was pretty entertaining. I feel like there is more I should be telling but for some reason I can't remember anything right now. We had dinner with this really awesome family last night, the Pearce's. They are all super outgoing! They are really excited about missionary work though and the mom really wants to go out with us! She is pretty awesome! Then as we were leaving, she gave me a loaf of homemade wheat bread, which is pretty much what I have been craving since I left on my mission! It was basically a dream come true and it is delicious! I was super happy because of that! I was reading in Helaman this morning and I really loved this scripture. It's Helaman 3:35 "Nevertheless they did fast and pray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filing their souls with joy and consolation, yea even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts, which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts unto God." All of the things that strengthened their testimony are things that still apply! Fasting and praying often, having faith in Christ. All of these things lead us to have a stronger testimony and to have less and less of a desire to sin. It's pretty amazing! We had a bunch of nonmember show up to church yesterday so that was exciting! Things are going great! I love you all and hope you have a great week!

Love,
Sister Price
