Hey ya'll!
Just another day in Alabama the beautiful! This morning I woke up to a cockroach the size of a small rodent in my bathroom, snooping through my things...
Great
news!! Sister Begay and I are together for a third transfer!! WHOOO!!
We jumped up and down and screamed like little girls when we finally got
that call.

Wheeler has decided to fly home to AZ in October to get baptized
there. He
offered to fly us out for it! I was down.. but Sister Begay said no. We're
sad we will have to miss it, but so excited that he will be surrounded by
friends and family who support his decision! And he'll come back to the
great friends he's already made in our little branch family. He's so
awesome!
We had a branch lake activity on Saturday, which would have been super fun
if we were allowed in the water! But we had some investigators come, so it
was worth the 6 hours of sweating and watching everyone else party. Oh, and
we got to see a baptism in Lake Lurleen! This cute family next to us was
singing and praising and baptizing all over the place. It was sweet to see
them all so happy. I can imagine the joy they'll feel the day they dress in
white, and are baptized by the Priesthood authority of God 😊💙

We're getting ready for the Gladys Knight and
Saints Unified Voices Devotional, October 6th. It's going to be way cool.. So
far we have about 9 non-members coming, who we are praying will have a
powerful spiritual experience. All the ward members and missionaries have
been praying and fasting about this for months. We know there are people in
Alabama the Lord has been preparing for this event!
I LOVED Women's Conference. Especially Sharon L. Eubank's talk very first. WOW.
Sharon L. Eubank:
Prior to the second coming of the Savior the good women of the world will
be drawn to the Church. They will be heroines. 1. Be righteous 2. Be
articulate 3. Be different 4. Be distinct 5. Be happy and optimistic.
Neil F. Marriott:
We need to continually deepen our relationship with and knowledge of
Heavenly Father. We need to love when loving is most difficult. We do so by
reaching for the help of the Savior. Simple love, honestly expressed, heals
hearts.
Joy D. Jones:
Worth and worthiness are not the same. Even the most inferior person on the
earth at this time is worth WORLDS.
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf:
You are in His hands, and they are very good hands. Nothing anyone thinks
or says about you can trump what God *has said* about you. We are
responsible for our own discipleship, regardless of others. We will love
our enemies, overcome anger and hate, and minister even to those who
persecute us. You cannot allow circumstances to make you sad or mad, choose
to be glad.
Well I love you guys!
Have a good week. General Conference is an amazing time to receive peace
and answers to prayer. Take some time to watch and listen to the Prophet
and Apostles of God this weekend.
Xoxo Love Sister Smith
