This week has been such a good week! We tracted a LOT the last couple of days and found a couple potentials! Knocking doors is something I am learning to love more and more as I go! It is so entertaining to meet random people and the more I have done it the more I realize it is actually not that hard to talk to strangers and bring up the gospel! People here in the south are generally pretty open to talk to us once they realize we are not Jehovah's Witness and want to talk about building faith in Jesus Christ. Plus, you always get good stories tracting!

Sister Whatcott and I have noticed a theme in our work here in Tallahassee. Every time we teach people about the Restoration, something goes wrong! Our investigators get sent to the ER, or get extremely sick, or something big occurs in their family life, or work gets busier, etc! We are working hard to find people and keep those people! 

We had a really good lesson with this family that I am in love with! Liz is a less active we are working with and she has these cute little kids we are trying to prepare for baptism, G'adaisha (9), G'ad (10) and Ayana (5). We had a Restoration lesson with them and it went so well and Liz stayed and bore testimony of it and it was so good! Then, they all came to church and the kids were so excited to see us! I love them a lot! 

We had exchanges this past week with the Atmore Sisters, Sister Housel and Sister Kirkham, my former MTC comp! They are such amazing, humble, hard working sisters and I am so grateful to have learned so much from them! 

I love Tallahassee so much! I love the members that take us out and take people to church and feed us and love us! They are so wonderful to the missionaries! 

Love yall!
