HEY Y'ALL,

THIS WEEK WAS REALLY GREAT. WE GOT TO MEET A LOT OF PEOPLE AND GOT TO KNOW THE WARD A LITTLE BETTER. BONIFAY IS AN AWESOME PLACE. IT IS A SOUTHERN TOWN FULL OF THEM BAPTIST, SOUTHERN, AND FIRST. A LOT OF THE CHURCHES AROUND HERE BASH ON MORMONS. BUT THEY ARE ALL SUPER FRIENDLY. THIS NON MEMBER PAID FOR HALF THE COST OF OUR FOOD. #ITSALWAYSTHEOLDGUYS

SO MONDAY WE DECITED TO GO PLAY BASKETBALL WITH THE ELDERS AT THE CHURCH. THEY ARE SOME PRETTY AWKWARD ELDERS. ITS FUNNY BUT THEY ARE WARMING UP TO HAVING SISTERS. IT'S BEEN AWHILE FOR THEM. LOL 

WE THEN DID SERVICE WITH OUR GATOR MS. C. SHE IS SUPER AWESOME. 

TUESDAY WE HAD DISTRICT MEETING AND SISTER PORTER AND I HAD FUN. WE ARE SPAZES AT TIMES.... SO I DID A CLASSIC HANNAH MOVE.. HAHA THEY ASKED ME TO SAY THE CLOSING PRAYER.. AND I WAS IN A REALLY WEIRD MOOD.. SO I SAID SOMETHING THAT WASN'T WHAT I MEANT TO SAY IN MY PRAYER AND STARTED LAUGHING. I COULDN'T STOP AND IT WAS QUITE FOR ABOUT 30-40 SECONDS. HAHAHA YEAH I EMBARRASS MYSELF EVERYDAY..

WE HAD A PRETTY AWESOME MIRACLE HOUR ON TUESDAY.. WE TRIED SO MANY PEOPLE AND NO ONE WAS HOME.. WE WERE PRETTY FREAKED OUT.. BECAUSE BONIFAY HAS NO STREET LIGHTS AT ALL.. SO WE DECIDED TO GO TO MCDONALDS. BEFORE WE WENT INSIDE WE PRAYED THAT WE WOULD HAVE SOMEONE TO TALK TO AND HELP US NOT FEEL SO FREAKED OUT. SO RIGHT WHEN WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR THIS LADY IN THE PARKING LOT STARTS TALKING TO US.. SHE TOLD US HOW WE ARE GOING TO GET HIT BY A TUSANMI THIS WEEK. BUT SHE WAS SUPER FRIENDLY. WE TRIED SO HARD TO SET UP A RETURN APPOINTMENT WITH HER.. SHE WAS DISTRACTED.. BUT WE GAVE HER OUR NUMBER AND OUR PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED. 

WED. WE WENT OUT WITH A MEMBERS. WE TIRED SOME PEOPLE. I GOT ASKED IF I WAS PREGO. THIS LADY WALKED UP TO ME AS WE WERE WORKING AT THIS THRIFT STORE. SHE TOUCHED MY BELLY AND WAS LIKE "AH ARE YOU PREGO MA'AM?" I WAS LIKE NO.. HAHA SHE THEN WAS LIKE "OH" AND WALKED AWAY. IT WAS A ROUGH DAY. WE AGAIN WERE TRYING TO FUFILL MIRACLE HOUR.. WHICH IS THE 8 O'CLOCK HOUR.. AND WE HAD TRIED TO FIND A FEW HOUSES AND WE COULDN'T FIND THEM.. SO WE WERE LIKE WE WILL TRY ONE MORE.. AND JUST A REMINDER IT'S PITCH BLACK OUTSIDE. OK BACK TO THE STORY.. RIGHT WHEN WE SEE THE HOUSE I ACCIDENTLY HIT THE HORN AND SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF MYSELF. HAHA LETS JUST SAY THAT MY TRAINEE ABOUT HEARD ME SWEAR. HAHAHAHAHA IT WAS PRETTY FUNNY.. WE JUST HEADED TOWARDS HOME.. AT THIS POINT WE HAD ABOUT 15 MINS LEFT TILL 9. LOL

THURSDAY, WE WENT OUT WITH ANOTHER MEMBER. SHE IS AWESOME. OUR  APPOINTMENT'S FELL THROUGH. WE GOT YELLED AT AND TOLD  TO NEVER COME BACK. HAHA THAT MAN WAS ONE JERK OF A CHILD OF GOD. BUT GOD STILL LOVES HIM. 

WE GOT TO HAVE SUCH A GREAT LESSON WITH OUR GATOR T. SHE IS SO PREPARED AND SUPER SWEET. WE TAUGHT OUTSIDE AND SHE LIVES IN PRETTY MUCH THE JUNGLE. IT WAS SUPER COOL AND THE SPIRIT WAS SO AMAZING. 

WE HAD THE R.S. ACTIVITY. THE WARD IS GREAT HERE. AS IT IS ANYWHERE. 

FRIDAY WE WENT WITH THAT SAME MEMBER AGAIN.. WE SAW A RECENT CONVERT. SHE IS SUPER SWEET. WE THEN WENT TO THIS OTHER MEMBERS HOME.. THEY HAVE A POND IN THERE BACKYARD THAT HAS GATORS IN IT... I DIDN'T SEE ANY, BUT I COULD FEEL THE COTTONMOUTH SNAKES WATCHING ME.. READY TO EAT ME ALIVE.. 

WE GOT TO VISIT WITH SOME REALLY AWESOME LA MEMBERS AND SOME ACTIVE ONES AS WELL. 

SATURDAY WE GOT TO DO SERVICE AT THE OLD FOLKS HOME SERVING ICE CREAM TO THEM. THAT IS SUPER FUN. WE SAW SOME WONDERFUL CHILDREN OF GOD. 

SUNDAY WE SAW ONE OF OUR GATORS A. SHE IS SUPER SWEET. BUT IT'S SO HECTIC AT HER HOUSE. SHE HAS 3 KIDS AND  A PUPPY.. BUT WE TAUGHT HER THE RESTORATION.  IT WAS ROUGH, BUT I THINK SHE WILL REALLY TAKE IN THE PLAN OF SALVATION.. 

WELL FAMILY, I SURE LOVE Y'ALL AND AM SO VERY GRATEFUL TO BE SERVING HERE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL PART OF THE WORLD.. I HAVE SUCH A STRONG TESTIMONY ON THE WILL OF GOD. GOD KNOWS WHAT WE NEED WHEN WE NEED IT. HE DIDN'T SEND US HERE TO EARTH TO FAIL. HE LOVES US AND REALLY WANTS WHAT IS BEST FOR US.. AS LONG AS WE PUT OUR TRUST IN HIM, HE WILL BE THERE TO HELP US OUT. I LOVE YOU GUYS! KEEP IT REAL HOMIES. LOL

LOVE, SISTER SEEGRIST
