Hello Family!!!

All is well in Madison! I went out to Crestview Florida this past weekend for that production that my companion played the piano for. It was Joseph Smith the Prophet that Rob does. It was way cool!! I loved it! I got to sing in the choir which was fun. We were there from saturday until monday morning. It was very short but so awesome. I guess that half of the people that were there were investigators or less active. So cool!! The spirit was super strong. At one of the churches that we went to on Sunday they asked if I'd say the closing prayer. It is the first prayer I've given in a sacrament meeting or in a big meeting. I was nervous! Even though I shouldn't have been. Something else that happened this week is that one of our recent converts had two dogs that died and so we had to help bury them and have little funerals for them. There are sooooo many dogs and cats around here. And I don't love animals and so I just have to act like I don't see them.

Something that I want to share is a miracle that has happened with my companion and me. She was pretty sick this past week and we didn't get out very much but we pray a lot of times during the day together and we would always pray to be able to reach some of our goals and to be able to have the Lord's help. Even though she was sick and we were out of town for a few days we still gave missionary work our all for the week and the Lord blessed us that we were able to reach some of our goals and have a successful week! The Lord really does answer prays and is watching out for his children!

I don't have much time so sorry this is so short and all over the place but I just want you all to know that I love you! You are such a wonderful family!! I look up to all of you!! Thanks for all the support and emails! I enjoy reading them! Sorry if I don't write back all the time! Know that I pray and think about you all often! Love you! Have a great week!!

Love,

Sister Jenni Merrill
