Week 61: Bama Belles

Hi ya'll.

It was a good week! Nothing too crazy.

We had a bon fire with the YSA on friday, that two of our investigators came to! It was really great to see them making friends with everyone. The members here are so strong. They have to be! They truly are the "salt of the 
earth" out here.


 Wheeler's baptism in AZ on Saturday went really well! So exciting :) we're so happy for him. One of his really good friends who introduced him to the gospel, and just returned home from his own mission, got to baptize him. The AZ missionaries had us send a picture of Sis Begay and I with him so they could get a picture of us all together on his day. Haha.. it's pretty cute.













This will most likely be Sister Begay and I's official last week together. Feeling pretty bummed about that, and terrified for my last three transfers.

Here in the ABM we refer to our mission as the "SS Holy Bama." We're building it out of unity, individual covenant keeping, dedication to Christ and love for our fellow men. "...we are going to build this ship and sail it for the glory of God." -President Sainsbury

We were contacting down by the river Saturday night, and came across my favorite little tug boat called the "Bama Belle." :) I may never be a true Southern Belle.. but I'm proud to be a Bama Belle.




This is about to get cheesy..
If I had more time and energy today, I'd probably come up with some clever way to talk about how each missionary out here is like a little tug boat. Not very powerful alone, but with individual effort, our engines combine to create the SS Holy Bama.
Much like how as members of the Church we are called to be the Salt of the Earth. D&C 101:39 "When men are called unto mine everlasting gospel, and covenant with an everlasting covenant, they are accounted as the salt of the earth and the savor of men."


(this is a great talk on what it means to be the salt of the earth)

Somewhere in there is a great analogy!... But I just don't have it today. Haha.

Man, this holiday season is going to be a little tougher than last. I miss my friends and family! And pants... and comfy shoes. 

I love you guys and hope you have a great week!
Love Teirs
