So Worth the Bloody Ankles

Well hello everyone!! 

Another week come and gone and my goodness what a wonderful week this last one has been. 

I met all the newbees in my District. They're all cool. We continue to meet with Becky, she is slowly but surely learning and coming closer to Christ. But the main event of last week was meeting a girl named Candace and her husband, Errington. 

Sister Robison and I had prepped for the day and started walking out with a purpose to see a bunch of people we'd planned on seeing. We're about a mile from our house. We've trudged through swampy grass, Sister Robison had been bitten by several ants and slowly my shoes had eroded holes into my heels. I was in a lot of pain so wonderful Sis. Robison traded shoes with me and we made the trek back home to take care of our bites and cuts. We looked completely redidulous limping and trudging our way back to the house. We drove over to Walgreens to get some bandaids and the lady at the register (Candace) asked what LDS people believe in. We were so taken back that she asked us so we set up an appointment with her to teach her the next day. 

We met up at McDonalds and taught her the Restoration. She was soaking it all up and was so amazed that we had a living prophet and that the Book of Mormon is testimonies of prophets in America. We gave her a Book of Mormon and invited her to church. She ended up texting us later that day telling us that she had told her husband, Errington, all about our church and hee had down loaded the LDS app onto is phone and was already on chapter 4 in the Book of Mormon!!! WHAT!!! Miracle!! We met up with them at a resturaunt to eat dinner and answer any of their questions. It was the most natural meeting I've ever had with anyone. They're both so cool and really love what we have to say about our church. And, they came to church the next day!! And even cooler, two little girls got baptized after church and they both stayed to watch. Errington told us that he loved how organized our church is and that if Candace has work off that they will definitely be back!! Keep them in ya'lls prayers that she'll be off work and that they'll come back! 

It was such a miracle meeting them, and I honestly don't even feel like it's me teaching them. The Spirit is real. The Church is true. I love my Savior. And I love you all. 

Ya'll have a blessed week. 

Love, Sister Mason
