Well what a week! We started off by having a great super p day! We played games, watched Monster University, and then we had an appointment with a referral and committed her to be baptized! So it was a great start to a new year:) Then on Thursday the lady we committed to be baptized got a blessing from the Elders. She was bawling after, it was a great experience. I have such a strong testimony of priesthood blessings! Dad I'm glad you have always been able to hold it! Means so much to me!! Then on Thursday we had to trainer/ trainee meeting. It was so good to see all of the other missionaries! Then on Saturday the Horlachers took us down to Franklin (Sister Cottons last area) because one of her investigators was getting baptized! The horlachers took us to our first Waffle House. Very interesting! A good experience for sure! haha then we took Sister Ervin, who had medical problems to Kroger, (that a grocery store) and she got all the stuff she needed. She was so grateful, she said she had just gotten done praying for help and we knocked on her door! Sunday we have church at 1-4, isn't to bad. But it was raining, and a big ice storm came in. So that was crazy! They cancled school on Friday and it's like history in the making here! So it's pretty cold today, 8 degrees! Ahh I miss sunny St. George! But their was like 4 people in sacrament meeting who gave sister cotton and I a shout out, and saying how good we were doing and that they loved us! It was our first week an investigator didn't come to church so we were a little down, so that was nice:) then we called the assistants to ask a question and they said how did we get Hendersonville so popping? I guess it was a very dead area and then we came in and it all turned around! So that was a nice compliment! We're doing great! Working hard. I have learned that being married in the temple is so special. Having that forever family is amazing. I LOVE teaching about it. It makes me realize how important it is to make it to the temple with your whole family! This lady married a non member and waited 22 years to go through the temple with her husband! And in a month they finally are! I am so happy for them.
Well it sounds like things are going well at home!! I love seeing pictures and hearing from you all! Thanks for all you do:)
Love, Sister Gates:)
