This week was hectic but still so fun. We drove all around Georgia and went to lots of meetings, had a power exchange with some sisters, and we set a baptismal date!! It's been great.
MY FIRST LOW COUNTRY BOIL!!! It was so good. They cook all the food in a huge pot and traditionally just dump it out on a table and you go to town. We ate it inside though so they put it on cookie sheets. It had potatoes, carrots, corn, shrimp, sausage, crab legs and some other veggies. Soooooo gooooooooood
Tuesday we had interviews with our Mission President! It was so nice to get to visit with him a bit and get some life advice. President Lee is seriously the best!! We had district meeting as soon as interviews were over then we headed out and followed President and the Assistants over to Brunswick for their interviews and district meeting. We gave a training on using the new planning method then we had to hurry because we had to get on the road so we could drive up to Waycross. We made it there just as their district meeting was starting and we gave another training about being creative with our technology while staying in the bounds the Lord has established for us. It was a draining day haha but there was a chick fil a in Waycross so it was all worth it :)
Halloween party with the Kingsland Zone last Monday
Tuesday night we made it back to Hilliard just in time to have a lesson with a part member family we have been trying to work with. We taught the whole family and we were able to set some really solid expectations with them and they committed to come to the branch fall festival next weekend! We also had a lesson with two boys named Maveryk and Malekai. They've grown up in the church but never got baptized. We have been teaching them and they are both set to be baptized the beginning of November!! They are super adorable and I love teaching little kids! They're my people
Desperately needing a nap after 3 district meetings, 2 trainings, and lots of country driving in GA
We had an amazing miracle finding this man named John. We knocked on his door and he told us he had just moved to Hilliard about a month ago. He had been meeting with missionaries before he moved but had lost contact with them and didn't know how to find missionaries here. He was so excited to see us and we were able to go back and teach him. He is so prepared to hear the Gospel and meeting him was such a tender mercy.
When you drive 30 miles to see a less active but they forget about your appointment :/ at least she had comfy chairs on her porch
One last miracle...during church yesterday I had an investigator from a previous area pop into my mind and I felt prompted to send them a message on Facebook. I was able to have a group chat with him and one of my previous companions Sister Fotheringham and we are going to have an online lesson with him this week!! It's so amazing to me how much Facebook and technology have enhanced the work. We can reach so many more people and I love seeing God's hand in all of it. I LOVE being a missionary!
I love y'all! Have a blessed week <33

Sister Morrow

Homemade ice cream at my fav spot in Callahan
I'd pulled off the road so we could look at our map and this dog came right up to our car and sat down waiting for me to pet it<33 in the words of elder davis "wassup dogg"
