Hello!

Hey, everyone!
We went to the temple today and spent many many hours there. It was so nice! The temple is the best place on earth. ❤️ 

Highlight of the week: we went to the temple with Andy and Debbie! Andy, a man who you'd never expect to get emotional, was in tears as he heard his grandmother's name during the confirmation prayer. He sent us a bunch of messages that night just saying thank you over and over. Then on Sunday he bore his testimony of family history and the temple and got emotional again! True conversion. It is the greatest blessing seeing an individuals life turn completely around, and to see them experience the atonement of Jesus Christ.

Another incredible miracle! 14 months ago when my MTC group flew to Ohio, we met a super awesome man named Dennis in the Salt Lake City Airport. He talked with us for quite some time and we were able to teach him a little bit. He had Mormon colleagues and told us he was a "dry Mormon" and couldn't wait to get home and meet with the missionaries. He gave us each a piece of paper with his contact info so that we could reach out and potentially get a job when we got home haha! Anyways, a few months ago I found that paper and had a prompting to find him on Facebook. I did so and messaged him, but he never responded. Fast forward a few months to Monday, I woke up and saw that he had commented on my Facebook page! I looked at it and it made my entire day. He said, 
"Holy stars, did we meet in the Salt Lake City Utah @ the airport in June when you were leaving MTC? We have so much to talk about. I just got presidential approval for my endowment on my birthday August 11. As I was baptized on August 19, 2017. I've been praying that I would connect with you guys as you all have major influences me being baptized. Now I'm a Ward missionary,"

Is that not the greatest?! MIRACLES HAPPEN!! 😊 It was so sweet to see how far his testimony has taken him. Ahh the gospel is so good, folks! Always share it with people! 

Anyways, the mission is great and I can't believe how fast my last two transfers are coming up. I have cherished every moment (almost 😉) of my time here in Ohio! Have a fantastic week, everyone! 

Love, 
Sister Morris
