This week was in a rare form

Hey y'all

My week started off with a doctor's appointment, that was fun. But the doctor, Dr. Craig, made the visit okay. He was the most humorous southern Baptist man I've ever met. If all of them were like that I would never be afraid to visit the doctor ever again! I'm fine y'all don't worry!

On Wednesday we met with Carly and she is just so darling! Love that girl! She also came with us to dinner with sister Jenks. Carly started talking about her future with the church and stuff at dinner, and sister Pankey was like, "Carly, do you want to be a Mormon??" And Carly just goes, "...yes" very slowly and both of us were like "really!?" And she said, "why would I be meeting with you if I didn't want to be Mormon?" So that happened, it was way funny! Carly wants to be Mormon y'all!

We got to eat dinner with a mother and son who haven't been to church in a bit, and at first I was a little intimidated, but then she started talking about how she was raised on a FARM and did a bunch of canning every year. And that got me started! We talked forever about homesteads and it was the best! 😊 I love farm people!

We also found a part member family that is totally cool and they just up and appeared outta nowhere! We visited them for a bit on Thursday and they made us dinner while we were there! They made mozzarella cheese stick- grilled cheese sandwiches, not even joking. I had no idea that was a thing, but apparently it is. They were pretty good. Of course we had a dinner appointment later that night so sister Pankey sneakily slipped half of the sandwich into her skirt pocket and off we went. She remembered it later and it left a pretty bad grease stain on her skirt, oh well!😂

Friday was insane. So first, we had lunch with brother Hollingsworth and sister Andrade. Brother Hollingsworth is a bus driver running for the school board who is also apparently really rich and owns a giant house that he built himself. He made us chicken strips, which were great, but he kept making more chicken! And then he and sister Andrade barley ate anything and so he was like, "eat it all sisters!" So we did... 😩 don't get me wrong, we're super grateful for him, that was just a whole lot of food!

Later that day our plans kept getting re-routed, which was okay, but also weird. We went tracting and there was a lady across the street who happened to open the door the moment we were about to head back, and we asked her (yelled from across the street) if she had a faith in Christ. She nods her head. We ask if we can share a message with her. Nods head again. What even? So we walked right on up and told her who we were and shared a little bit about what we believe in and asked if we could come back to visit her again, and she said yes! It was a cool moment for sure! Then we found out from Sister Anderson that the Broshears family was moving that day instead of Saturday.

We hustled on over there with sister Anderson (cuz bless her soul she helps everyone) and helped the family move all their stuff to their trailer. It was a pretty nice trailer actually, and they were so relieved to be out of that shelter finally. After that madness we had a lesson with Temyha and she set herself a baptismal date cuz she's awesome and sooooo ready for this! We are so stoked for her!

Yesterday we met a guy outside the Anderson's house, and he wanted to learn more about the book of Mormon and that was awesome. However, later he was texting us and was like, "tell miss Wilcox I'd like to get to know her more" and sister Pankey and I were like uhhhh nope! Send him to the elders! So yeah that happened.

The phrase above is used by the mom's around here. That's what they call their kids when they're having a moment, I think it's hilarious! They'll say, "she's in a rare form today!" 😆

Anyways, that was my week! I love y'all!

With love,
Sister Wilcox
