Weekly Update

Hello everyone!

We had a good week. Lots of different kinds of learning experiences. The weather has been kinda crazy (thank you tropical storm Collin), so we're getting good at having backup plans B and C for everything! Yesterday, we were instructed to stay in our apartments for the afternoon. We made some pretty great hurricane kits. 

Friday was definitely the highlight of the week. We had so many little miracles as far as teaching opportunities. One cute older woman we taught invited us in her home and began to tell us how stressed she was with her current challenges. The feeling in the apartment became almost contentious as she began to dwell on problems others are causing her. I asked her if we could show her a short video that would bring her peace. I played the #Hallelujah video from Easter, which takes different scriptures about the Savior and testimonies about finding new life through Him. As this 85-year-old lady hunched over my iPad screen and listened, her whole countenance changed. She sat down and thanked us for showing her the video, and apologized for the way she talked about others. She could recognize the Spirit in her home. Later that day, we set a baptismal date with a man and his son. We hadn't been able to set a date for a while, and so I was so excited when they said they'd be baptized that I couldn't remember what came next and I had to let Sister Minson talk to figure out which day! It is so amazing to see people make real life changes to bring themselves closer to the Savior. Whether it's changing a habit or accepting an invitation to be baptized, that is the best part about being a missionary.

 Have a great week! Go serve someone!

Love,

Sister Brittany Hunt
