A member gave me a bday present a month late haha it was awesome!
Hi y'all!
It's been a quick minute since I've emailed last but I'm happy to send some more updates! The last few days have been super fun and productive! We also had a crazy awesome miracle that I'm super excited to tell y'all about!
Why do missionaries gain so much weight in the south? Because you can't leave someone's house without them forcing you to eat a ton of food
Thursday we went on exchanges with the 5th ward sisters and it was so fun!! I got to stay in GV2 with Sister Yingling and we had a blast! We did some service and lots of finding and had an overall great time. She has been working a lot of having more charity for people so it was great to get to study that with her and see areas where I can improve too! Exchanges are so fun because you just get to learn so much from other sisters...and we have seriously the best sisters ever!
Exchange with Sister Yingling <33
Saturday I had a migraine most of the day which was no fun but after some Tylenol and a large Dr. Pepper we headed out determined to find some new investigators. We were out in Newberry and we met this awesome young mom named Kiesha. We were able to show her a quick video about the Book of Mormon and she was super interested and invited us back! We were also able to see the Davis family again and they are super elect so we are excited to keep working with them!!
Sunday evening after we got out of church we noticed we had a missed a call from the 1st ward Elders. We called them back and they told us they had a referral for us which we were super excited about because we NEVER get referrals here for some reason and we had just started praying this week to get a referral. God is so good. So they told us the story of this man who wandered into their sacrament meeting and told them he had a dream that he needed to be baptized and he remembered the sister missionaries knocking on his door about 3 years ago and felt like he should come back and check out our church again. Basically a super elect human. SO HERE'S THE MIRACLE....this man is deaf!! And he really wants to meet with the missionaries and learn more so the elders sent him my way since they know I can sign a bit. WE ARE SO EXCITED!!! His name is Richard and we have a lesson with him tonight! We've been practicing a ton and I've been teaching sister heiner a bit so she can sign with him too. We have some members that know sign that are going to help and it's going to be a bit challenging but we are still super excited! Everyone say a quick prayer for me that I don't get transferred so I can be here when he gets baptized :))
Last Wednesday we went on a hike with our Zone! We went to a big sinkhole that you get to go down into and it's super pretty!! It was loads of fun
Well I think that's about it for this week. I am so greatful for this time that I have to serve the Lord. It's been the best year ever.
I love y'all!! Have a blessed week <33

-Weekly Moss Moment-
Sorry I forgot to do a moss moment last week so here's two semi mossy stories.
Sorry I forgot to do a moss moment last week so here's two semi mossy stories.
So this week I had to go to the doctor and while I was getting all signed in and filling out paper work I realized that all my normal people knowledge has been replaced with memorized scriptures and missionary stuff. I couldn't remember anything important (like my social security number yikes) but luckily we called Sister Cengiz the mission nurse and she walked me through the whole process. We got it all worked out and I'm feeling much better
Next story...so we were on the phone with our Zone Leader the other night giving him numbers and reporting on how the sisters in the zone are doing. At the end of the call he was thanking us for working so hard and so we thanked him for doing the same thing. Sister Heiner then said "You're doing great too Elder Merrill" (the ZLs comp that is currently in training) and he said "Thanks sisters! Love you too! Actually, no I don't...well yes I do but not in that way...eh ah mmm" then Elder Stuart said "y'all are great sisters bye" and hung up the phone really fast. It was hilarious and super awkward hahaha gotta love greenies
