Payback....and lot's of referrals!






WOWZA!! This week was a roller coaster. Don't worry, a really good roller coaster :) 

First of all, it's already transfers and we got good news! Sister Hansen and I are staying together! 😊 going on transfer #5 in Zanesville! Woot woot! I never want to get transferred...maybe I'll be here for over half my mission like Mitch in colima :) 

Sister Hansen's first sunday here she was called up randomly during sacrament to bear her testimony. I laughed because id been out 8 1/2 months and never had to get up in front of a congregation and she gpt called on her first sunday. Well...we had stake conference this weekend and shortly before the meeting started the presiding general authority, Elder Taylor (watch for him in this next general conference :)) came right up to me, introduced himself, asked me where I was from and my name and all that good stuff, and then he asked if he could call on me to come up during his talk!!! 🀀 I clearly couldn't say no to a general authority ;) as soon as he called me and three others up my legs started shaking horribly. Haha it was great. Thankfully what he asked us to do was read a quote and bear our testimonies of the power of the Book of Mormon. :) it was scary but an opportunity that I'm very grateful for. The coolest thing about it was Saturday night I had the thought come to my mind, "Sister Morris, you are going to get called on to bear your testimony tomorrow so don't freak out." I didn't like that thought so I just pushed it out of my mind. It did help though...i was less surprised when Elder Taylor came up to me. So grateful that Heavenly Father knows us so perfectly and knows how to help us not freak out as badly in terrifying situations. πŸ˜‚

Elder Taylor also invited everyone to send a name of someone they wished was sitting next to them to the elders that were there on Saturday. We got 9 referrals from that!! And we are going to start teaching a family because of it!! 😁 this  family is so prepared. They received a copy of The Family A Proclamation to the World from a member and they have it hanging up on their fridge. Needless to say we had a little dance party in the car when we got this referral. πŸ˜ŠπŸŽ‰

Great things are happening in the great OCM. I love being a missionary and I love being a member of Jesus Christ's church. πŸ˜„ thanks for the prayers and love! I love you all lots and lots! 

Love,
Sister Morris
