Spring is Here!

Hey y'all,

This week was pretty normal, it wasn't too crazy. We had apartment inspections and we got an 'A'! I was freaking out about it but we did really good! I think it's mostly because our apartment is so new...

So the daffodils are dying, but everything else is waking up! The trees are blooming and turning over to leaves, and more flowers are popping up I'm just so excited! The corn fields around here start turning purple with the weeds that take over them, and it's so beautiful.

We had district council on Wednesday this week instead of Friday, so that was weird. And my new district is pretty strange, but they're okay. We went down to the sulfer well so the new people could try the well water (Sister Johnson wouldn't) and one of the elders, Elder Shelton, took 70 gulps of it. I think he regretted it, and it was right after lunch. Elders are funny.

We had an awesome lesson with Myra, she had a note pad and everything when we came by. She is so interested and has so many questions. Good questions. She hasn't brought up Supernatural once, and I could not be more grateful 😂😂 she wants to come to church, but she talked to her husband and he said he isn't ready to learn about another church, which was interesting. He is super nice and let's her have lessons with us, so maybe in the near future he'll come around??

We stopped by Heathers apartment again, the gal I met on exchanges, and she was home and told us that she has already read up to Mosiah! And we were like "you actually read it??" And she was like duh! Then we had to tell her that people usually don't actually read it! It was so funny cuz she was so surprised and confused as to why people would accept a book of Mormon and then not read it 😂😂😂 that's what I'm saying! We set up a return appointment for after spring break, cuz she's busy, but I'm excited! She said she felt the Spirit, and that's why she has kept reading.

There was a man we met (also on exchanges) named Kevin, and we felt like going by again. He was home, and he said he had been reading the Book of Mormon, but he started in the back. We asked how he has felt about it so far, and he said he doesn't agree with some things. He was reading in Mormon, which is exactly where I'm at right now, and we were able to explain more and expound the scriptures to him. We encouraged him to focus on the Spirit and how he feels while he reads, rather than focus on the intellectual aspect of scriptures. He likes to learn about other religions and try to find ways to piece them all together, but he doesn't really know what he's looking for. And that just makes me sad because he will be searching for a lifetime. If you want to know what is truth and what is not, you have got to ask God. He is the source of truth.

Well anyways, we got to help Sister Tucker feed all her animals the other day! Her friends cows had babies, so we fed all the cows hay and it was super fun. I tossed flakes of hay onto the bulls head. And you know what?! I touched the hay and I didn't get hives or have an allergic reaction! It was crazy! Then we helped her chase chickens into the henhouse and feed her goat. Guys I want a farm!

I had a moment of madness Friday morning. I woke up and turned the lamp on, and Sister Johnson turned over and so I asked her if she had any weird dreams, cuz that helps her wake up. We talked about our weird dreams, then she asked me what time it was, and I looked at my clock and it said it was 3 in the morning! What the heck?! Why did I wake up, I don't know. Why did I think it was time to get up? I don't knows!

Saturday we got a text from the Leitchfield elders and they told us that a family was moving from their ward to our branch and that they needed help, in like, 2 hours! It was crazy! We had to scramble to try and find people to come and it ended up just being us and brother Crenshaw, because he's awesome. They had a full U-haul truck, but it's okay. We got it all done. We're excited to have the new family of four, cuz our branch is so little!😅

Yesterday we visited a sister who lives way down at the bottom of our area, and it was pretty dark when we drove home. And on the way home, this little rabbit darted across the road at the wrong time and I totally hit him. Sister Johnson screamed and sat there in shock for a little bit, oops. I'm totally traumatizing my little trainee 😁

I found a cute Albert Einstein quote that I love! He says, "There are only 2 ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." I think the latter leads to a much happier life ;)

General Conference is this week! I hope everybody is pumped!

I can't think of anything else, so I love y'all and I hope you enjoy this week!

With love,
Sister Wilcox❤❤❤
