Today the library is closed so we don't have much time for email but I have to let y'all know that I'm still alive so I'll still write you a little something :)
This week has been better! Something that we are starting in our zone is to try and work a lot with the members to get them excited about being member missionaries and to get them started in their family history. We started working with two women in the branch and they are so excited about it! It is so neat to get involved with familysearch.org and be able to figure out how to work the website and how to help people find their family history and put it in. One of the women, Sister Lee, was able to trace hers back all the way to 100 BC! She got in touch with her grandma who knew alot of information and she found her line that went back into royalty and it went back to 100 BC. IT is neat to see her get so excited about it and want to share it with her family who isn't lds. The goal of this family history is to get people to feel the spirit of Elijah and want to learn more about our church. We'll see if things start happening with that. Another thing that we did this week was go knock on some doors. We don't usually do this but on Saturday we had an appointment fall through and we felt we needed to go tracting down this street we were on, so we did! Half of the doors, no one answered. But the other half they all were receptive to us giving them a Book of Mormon and wanting to learn more! We have appointments this week with those 2 people so we are hoping that they are still interested and want to learn more and have the desire to read the Book of Mormon and come to church. That is always the hard part.... getting them to have the desire.
Alright y'all! I tried all natural cow milk..... that me tell you that it was not very appetizing! Well at least I didn't like it. It tasted like I straight up just licked a cow... NASTY! haha. I know that lots of people enjoy it but I don't necessarily like milk from the store and so milk straight out of a cow just wasn't appealing to my stomach or me. Sister Floyd who is in our branch was the one that gave us a half a gallon and so Sister Bunderson is going to drink it and she also made some butter out of it. It's interesting...
The weather has been getting so nice here. It's perfect... not too hot and not cold :) I love it. The Lord knew that I needed to serve in a place that wasn't too cold!
Well, I am doing good and I hope that y'all are too! Have a great week! Thanks for being such a great family and so easy to love!
Love you guys!
Sister Merrill
