"I Found My Dentures!" - Week 68

 Hello Everyone!

Here is another quick one! (So sorry!)

Highlights!

- I went on Team Ups with Hermana Gee this week (funny story, she is also from Springville and we 

went to the same high school). We ended up making a new friend named Tyler! He is super awesome 

and has been taught by Missionaries in the past. The very first question he asked was when does 

church start! So good!

- We got special permission to go to one of our friend's church. It was quiet an interesting experience.

 A couple of days later, we had another lesson with him and it was SO GOOD! We taught him about 

the plan of Salvation and the Spirit was so strong! 

- Sister Bingham and I got to go to zone Conference this week up at the mission office! It was so

 uplifting and I enjoyed getting to see a bunch of my past companions! We had a great training on 

focusing on helping our friends enter the waters of baptism.

- Funny story, I was on Team Ups with Sister Abraham and we had a lesson with a less active 

member outside.  Afterwards, we asked him if we could leave him with a prayer and he said, "not 

really, I really have to go to the bathroom". Then he went inside. Haha, it threw both Sister 

Abraham and I off so hard. It was pretty funny!

- We had a lesson with this super sweet older lady in our ward. She went off on how she lost her 

dentures and that she didn't want to pray and bug God about it. Sister Bingham and I testified of 

how God hears and answers all of our prayers. Well, today we got a call from her saying that after 

we left that night, she found her dentures! It was honestly the cutest thing ever! Moral of the story, 

even the little things matter to the Lord!

- We had a couple of opportunities to do service this week and it was AWESOME!

I love you all so much! Have an amazing week and please let me know if there is anything I can do for you!

God loves you so much!

(And I do too!)

Lots of love,

Sister Ferrin

Halloween! (The Holiday Missionaries Don't Celebrate) - Week 67

 Hello Everyone!

Holy cow! This week was crazy (but awesome)! Things are super great here in Elk Grove! I absolutely love my companion - shout out to Sister Bingham! Our friends are super awesome and God is so good!

Highlights!

- So we had super awesome lesson with Kay and Mike this past week! Part way through the lesson, we asked the question, what is keeping you from being baptized. Both of them were a little taken back and they couldn't come up with a reason why. So we invited them to be baptized on November 28th! They have been praying about it this week and we are going to follow up with them tomorrow! All the prayers for Kay and Mike! 

- We had a crazy encounter with our friend Joe this week. Sister Bingham and I were pulling up to the church this Sunday and we looked out the window to see our friend Joe a couple of feet away. We quickly parked and full on sprinted to find him. We were able to talk with him and invite him to church. Sadly, he said no for this week but he was really grateful that we were willing to find him! Just goes to show that there really aren't any coincidences, just tender mercies!

- We did service with some of our zone this week for a less active member in our stake on Halloween! I was able to help plant rose bushes (my favorite)! It was so much fun and we got very muddy!

- Sister Bingham and I visited with David again this week! We had a really good lesson on the Plan of Salvation because he had some concerns about the future. He seemed really interested and was even cracking a few jokes throughout the lesson! David also committed to reading a chapter in the Book of Mormon this week! He invited us to go to his church this week and we got permission from our mission president to go so... that will be interesting.

- New Friend! We started teaching Collin, the brother of one of our recent converts. He is super awesome and we had a great lesson with him, his brother, and some of the young men in the ward this week! 

- I had an interview with President Zimmerman this past week. It was super great! I am so grateful for such wonderful mission leaders and missionaries I get to work with! I literally feel so blessed all the time!

I hope you all had a happy Halloween! We celebrated it by promptly not leaving our apartment and studying the whole night (the only ghosts we need is the Holy Ghost). It is so crazy that it is already November! Can I just say how real miracles are? Even in our day, if we open our eyes and our hearts, we can see the Lord's hand everyday! I am so grateful for my Savior and His Gospel! God is so good!

Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you all!

Lots of love,

Sister Ferrin
