We had 56 people at church on Sunday!!! The majority were just random visitors but it was so great to have that many people there!
Well, sorry I didn't mention anything about the hurricane last week. I guess people have been wondering. We are about 10 hours away. Last week we got some storms but some members told us it was unrelated to the hurricane. We are having a gas shortage though. I guess everyone on Thursday panicked because it was spreading from the hurricane sight to Midland so we got a text from our leaders saying to fill up and that afternoon gas prices jumped like 40 to 50 cents in a matter of hours. Andrews wasn't crazy but in Odessa and Midland we heard it was a little insane. Our STL's in Midland had to go to 4 different gas stations before they found one that had any gas left. It was kind of freaky but like I said no one here was freaking out so we didn't run out!
We tried to have a free lemonade stand this week as a way for more people to talk to us but it kind of failed...worth a try I guess! I got to be the caller at bingo this week, pretty exciting, I know! We walked Bill over to the hospital for lunch with his son and we ate over there with them.
We got a surprise trip to the temple on Friday! The branch organized a youth trip to do baptisms for the dead and 3 of our recent converts were attending for the first time so we got to go with them! It was such a great experience!! They all loved it! All of them were able to take family names that we helped them find too!
We had a miracle this weekend!! A member invited their neighbor to church and HE CAME!!!!! They have been answering his questions about the church for a couple of weeks now and he said it all just makes sense. We are not officially teaching Tony yet but he started reading the Book of Mormon last night and loved it and said he is planning on coming to church with the Jeppesens again next week! We are excited to see someone who wants to progress!!
I hope y'all have a great week!!
READ AND PRAY EVERYDAY!!!!
