All the Blessings

Hello family and friends!!

We have had SUCH a good week. So many miracles have come our way, and we're so blessed here. 1. Jodi!!! On Wednesday we were making cookies with our district for Sheridan's "Third Thursday" event in the kitchen (more on that later) and a member from one of the Elder's wards came in to talk with us! She told us about a friend living in a nursing home around town named Jodi who had a lot of really good questions about the gospel and wanted to know what we were all about. Member referral out of nowhere!!! Typically, Jodi should be taught by the Elders because she lives in their ward boundaries, but because she's older and prefers Sister missionaries... we get to teach her! We're so excited!! We went and saw her that same day and taught her the first lesson, when we went back on Saturday she told us that she had prayed about it and found it to be true. We're so happy!! She came to church on Sunday and she loved it - we're going back tomorrow to teach her the Plan of Salvation. She's so cool and we really love her. So that's a huge blessing. 2. Our sweet inactive family that I talked about last week came to church yesterday! #soblessed 3. Third Thursday! In this town, there is an event every third Thursday of the month during the summer where main street is closed and vendors and people and whoever can set up a booth and do their thing! So we set up a booth and gave out cookies to people that walked by. For the cookie they had to answer 3 true/false questions about common misconceptions of the restored church of Jesus Christ - aka: "Mormons" It was really fun to see all the things people think or don't know and then to help them understand better. I met a cute couple from Colombia who was on vacation that had met missionaries before in Colombia but hadn't understood very well what they were all about - it was really fun to get to use my Spanish again and help them understand what we believe. It ended with the man agreeing to, and excited to, read the Book of Mormon that had been given to him years ago. The work progresses here in Wyoming! I'm almost to the close of my first transfer outbound, and the time goes so fast...slow down! I hope you all have a great week I love you! --Sister Black
