Hello Family!

It's transfer week and I'm staying in Madison! But Sister Bunderson is leaving to Tallahassee! I'm going to be with Sister Chandler. I have heard really good things about her. It'll be a different change but not bad and also Sister Bunderson and I will be in the same zone still so we will see each other lots :) 

We have a lot to do today so I don't have much time but I wanted to say that Darryl came to church again yesterday!! Exciting times :) Him and his wife are reading more from the Book of Mormon which is great. Hopefully more updates on that next week. This week has been really good. One of the neatest experiences that has happened so far on my mission is that during our district meeting on Tuesday we were talking about faithful prayers and how we have to get rid of the logic and the statistics in some areas. We need to set that aside and put forth more faithful prayers and as we are pleading with the Lord, we need to put forth action and show the Lord that we believe that he can help us out. After the meeting, Sister Bunderson and I talked a little more about it and talked about even though Madison as had low numbers before and it seems a little hard to find people to teach, the Lord will put people in our paths if we are striving to be the best missionaries that we can be and as we are praying faithfully. We then decided to act on what we had been talking about began praying with more faith and went to work. We were dedicated and went out with good attitudes. That day the Lord placed a full family in our path that wants to learn about the gospel. It was neat to be able to see that the Lord hears and answers our prayers. I truly have a testimony of that! 

This week I saw 2 alligators in the Lake by our place!! Crazy.... I'll send the pictures next week.

Sorry this is short but know that I love all of you!! Have a great week!!

Love,
Sister Merrill
