Hey, That was my comp for yall.
She is great actually!
So this week wasn't anything super exciting. So this week for us was a little slower, but it was good. We had a missionary broadcast. It was a world wide broadcast to just missionaries. The spirit was so strong when we were all singing because we knew there was over 50,000 missionaries singing as well.  There was a lot of things in it that I think I really needed to hear. I really loved how they talked about how the most important work going on right now is missionary work. I think it is super awesome to be apart of that.

 We did finally get to have a lesson with one of our investigators! Which was really nice. She is 75. We were talking about The Book of Mormon with her and she is super excited to learn more.

We did a lot of service this week. That is always fun! Keeps us super busy here. There are a lot of people who need it here. We got to go on splits with the STLs. They did it a little weird. We all just went to their area. Which was cool. They are on a college campus. So we just talked to people ALL day! All of our apt's fell through, but it was super cool because we were able to have 2 lessons with random people, we met off campus. They were both super interested in learning more. The lord really does provide a way. I learned a lot from them too.
This week we did a lot of walking! Which was really good. It got a little cold here the last few days! Which is always a shock here in Florida..But it does get cold here every winter.  Nothing really else happened this week. I am so grateful for this week though. I have really learned a lot. I want to just leave y'all with this really good quote.
“I would hope, I would pray, that each of us … would resolve to seek those who need help … and lift them in the spirit of love into the embrace of the Church, where strong hands and loving hearts will warm them, comfort them, sustain them, and put them on the way of happy and productive lives.”—Gordon B. Hinckley,
I hope y'all have a wonderful week! Keep the Faith! Love you!
Love, Sister Seegrist

I am super excited to see what the Lord has in store for this area and what I am to learn here.. I have already learned so much!

Hey yall,
This week has been so crazy!!! So this email will probably be all over the place and probably be super short..
So Monday we packed all day.We had dinner with a non member that we served ice cream with at the rehab center.
Tuesday we had a nice last district meeting. We had lunch with some members and said goodbye to a lot of people! I am going to miss that place very much! But I know I am needed in Tally.
Wed. was crazy long! We didn't have to go to transfers until 4 and then I didn't get to Tally until about 730 or so. But it all worked out really well. My new comp is Sister Bushnell. She is from St George. She is super awesome!
So the next few days were crazy and a blur my comp was sick and we had a lot of planning stuff to do. I don't really know what happened.. haha
My ward is really big and everyone are doctors or some other really high profession. This is the biggest town that I have served in.. So much traffic..
Sorry this email is really dumb.....
So I guess I will just end it.....with a funny story.. haha
So yesterday we were 15 min's. late to church! haha which is a big NO! NO! for missionaries.... So we thought it was ward conference, my comp was told it started at 10.. so at 9:05 the elders texted us and asked if we were here. haha yeah, we still got the there kind of in time..  haha but it was all good. Makes me laugh.. Sorry I am super boring..

Good news is I am alive and that's all that matters..
Hope my email is better next week...
Love y'all!

Hey y'all,
This week was been so nuts!!! So much happened but it was so great! 
We got to see one of our less actives who had their baby. she is adorable! 
We had some CRAZY weather this week. lots and lots of rain. half our area flooded.. 
We had apt checks and we then went of splits with the head STL's. Or the Sister Apt's which was weird. They never do that... But it was really fun! It was only for a few hours and we just all stayed in Bonifay and worked. :) We had an amazing lesson with Terra. We taught her the Restoration and she was so open! She really loved learning about the Priesthood and the miracles that it can do. I know she is so prepared she just needs to see that faith that she has! We still had some crazy crazy weather all week... But on Thursday we biked.. because we had no miles.. haha it was a bit wet but we had fun and we were safe.. all we can say is we were so tired by the time we had to be in(5). So we planned and went to bed a bit early. Some epic new years party... haha.
We had a really cool thing happen this week. 
So on Friday we planned to see a lot of formers and potentials so we were out working and no one was home!  We came home to grab something and then headed back out.. while we were home I said a little prayer that we would at least find someone who needed/wanted to talk to us.. 
So we had this one lady down but we didn't have the right address so we saw this house that we thought well maybe she lives there.. So we knocked on the door and this lady opens the door a little and see us, then opens it more and starts talking to us.. She was like "Do you want to come in" We were like sure.. At this point we didn't know if this was the lady we were looking for or some one else. So we told her our names and what we were out doing. She then told us her name was Christian, (not the lady we were looking for) But she was so nice. She let us teach her and talk. She said we could we come by anytime and that she might come to church! 
That was a super dragged on story. but it was cool
We then had some other cool visits!
 Our investigator Liz almost dropped us.. but she said as she was texting us she felt that she really shouldn't... #thespiritisreallyworkin.
We had another really cool thing happen this week. On Saturday we were trying to see this less active guy who we've tried to see a few times.. and we always get his sister.. So a few weeks ago we gave her a family history card an asked her to check it out... So when we went back she was like " I looked at the site and she had so much luck! she is super excited to find more! So we set up a time to come back and help her with that.. :) 
last but not least.. ARIEL CAME TO CHURCH! Finally! After the opening song. She walked in and we about started to cry! That was great! 
So the biggest news of all..... I am getting transferred! I am headed to Tallahassee! I am excited but sad. I have loved serving in Bonifay. it is such a special place and I have grown a lot here. I know I am needed in Tally and am super excited for this new adventure! :) The lord knows what we need and where we are needed! He really does know us personally! I sure love y
all and hope y'all have a wonderful week! 
Love, Sister Hannah Seegrist
