It’s all in the hips!

Hello, people that I love dearly!

I hope you all had a fantastic week wherever you are in this world. :) This week in Zanesville was really great! Sister Hardy and I experienced some pretty cool miracles throughout the week, most of which led to very promising new investigators. :) 

The first miracle new investigator was found because Sister Hardy and I both randomly had a feeling to knock on her door. She answered and stepped out on her porch to hear more. We were able to teach her about the entire restoration, and she loved it. She told us how she is currently looking for a church to attend because she wants her daughter to grow up knowing who she is and to have a relationship with Jesus. She is so cool.

The next miracle was so incredible. God really puts people in your path when you're obedient. Haha Sister Hardy and I had to use the restroom very badly, so we had to go to CVS during prime proselyting. We were quite annoyed. Anyways, we walked out of CVS and this dude leaned out his car window and asked us who we were. When we responded by telling him we are missionaries, he laughed and said, "no way! That is so funny! My friend and I have seen you guys all over the place today, and we joked around saying you are probably missionaries...and you are!" He said that they had been playing pokemon go all day and had seen us everywhere! LOL it was so crazy! He then went on explaining how he has been looking for a new church to attend, and as we explained some of our beliefs he said, "i think this is what I have been looking for to fill a hole in my life." I didn't think people actually said that in real life!! 

Okay, one more miracle...this one is a biggy. Sister Hardy and I set a transfer goal of two baptisms (Since Shelby's baptism counted as one at the beginning of the transfer) and we set a goal this last week to have two people working towards a specific date. Well, Saturday night we got a text from SLC about a woman who had requested a copy of the Book of Mormon. We were so excited! We decided to drop it off last night. She let us in immediately and asked us to teach her. She loved the story of Joseph Smith and told us, "I don't know how to explain it, but I just feel like this is true." and then she also said that she has had a hole in her life for a long time and feels like this is what will fill it. Wow. At this point the spirit was so strong that we were almost in tears. We extended baptism to her and she happily accepted. She is working towards the goal of October 28th. I cannot tell you how big of a miracle that was for so many different reasons--the biggest being we got to witness someone testify of the truthfulness of the gospel after just barely hearing about it and reading about it. As she said, "I feel like this is true." the Holy Ghost confirmed in my heart again that yes, this is the church that Jesus Christ himself established. This is all true. Even typing this up right now, the spirit is so strong. I hope you all can feel the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Joseph Smith was called by God to restore the Church. The Book of Mormon is another witness of our Savior. :) 

I love you all. I love the Savior. I love the people of Ohio. I love being a missionary--though it may be hard at times. :) Have an amazing week!! Remember to read the Book of Mormon! ;)

Love,

Sister Morris

PS

We were worried that we were going to be late last night, so as we were speed walking back to our car I jokingly said to Sister Hardy, "it's all in the hips, Sister!" as I was speed walking and looking absolutely ridiculous as my hips were drastically swaying side to side. Well...we heard a chuckle and looked up to see a man standing on his porch laughing at us. LOL so much for being dignified!! ;)
