Called to Serve: Week 1...Transfer 8

Hey Y'all!

Hope y'all have had a fabulous week! This week has been an awesome week here in Bonifay. We have received lots of blessings for sure.

MONDAY was a great day! p days are always exciting. We had a very productive p day too! We got everything cleaned and re-arranged so the apartment felt more homie. I also got to hear from my family, so that was awesome! I always love hearing from my fam fam!

TUESDAY was crazy. We had to drive up to Panama City for Zone training. It was a really good meeting. We talked a lot about taking our missionary work to the next leve. and becoming more consecrated missionaries. So that was just what I needed :) After Zone training, we stayed with the Calloway Sisters for exchanges. I always love exchanges. I got to be with Sister Kinghorn again! We had a great time! We got to see so many people. We had dinner at the Bishop's house in calloway. They are such a cute family. They have 6 kids. It was crazy, but I just love big families like that because they help me remember my own.

WEDNESDAY was great. We finished off the exchange with a bang. Sister Kinghorn and I got two new investigators for them so they are pretty excited about that. We drove back to good ol Bonifay and had a great lesson with Steve, a less active brother, and got everything situated for the rest of the week. It was kind of a slower evening, because our dinner appointment cancelled, but we were able to have ward coordination with our ward mission leader so that was really nice. I love that family!

THURSDAY was another great day. It was our weekly planning day. We are getting the hang of planning thank goodness haha. We had a great lesson with Liz as well. She is so into her family history! Its awesome and makes me so happy! We were also able to serve ice cream at the nursing home. That is always the highlight of my day on Thursdays. We also got to have a lesson with ariel!! She even prayed at the end of our lesson! It was awesome. She is making progress.

FRIDAY we got to see a former investigator, Theresa. She is just an amazing woman. We have a returna appointment with her this week that we are super excited for. We also had great lessons with Marlena, and Tammy. Two very amazing women. We had dinner with the Snaidmans as well. They are super great. We get to help them paint their house on Wednesday! I'm pretty excited!

SATURDAY was another great day in Bonifay! We started off the day with Breakfast at the Kelly's. Later on we went to the nursing home to serve ice cream, and then we took Tammy with us to go contact some potential investigators. She must be our lucky charm or something because everyone we saw is now investigating. So we are seeing a lot of potential for these next five weeks. We are really excited.

SUNDAY was awesome. Our newest investigator, Robert, wanted a Book of Mormon So we stopped by his house after church and explained the Book of Mormon to him. So by Saturday, he should have read up about the plan of salvation. We are super stoked. We also had an awesome lesson with another investigator, Tina. She is just so solid. She is all about learing as much as she can. We had a great dinner with Tammy,she made tacos for us!! We even got to make cookies afterwards. They were yummy.

This week was overall great. Long at times, but we saw a lot of success. Sister Richins and I are seeing the blessings from trying our best to be exactly obedient. The people we got to meet this week are just amazing. They all have situations in life that the Gospel could really help them.

Yall have a blessed week!

Love

Sister Melissa Jean Wood
