Hey Y'all
Hello!! Thank you so much for all of the Birthday Wishes!! I am overwhelmed by all of the love that's coming my way today! Thank you, thank you! So far today has been really good! The Branch President's wife is treating us to free lunch at her bakery - "The Sugar Shack." So that will be fun! Sister Ludwinski made me pancakes for breakfast, so I'm feeling plenty spoiled! haha. Thank you Mom, Dad, and Macey for the birthday package! I opened it up this morning and loved everything inside! 

This week was... SOLID!
We started off the week by knocking what we thought was just an ordinary apartment complex... it turned out to be an Assisted Living apartment complex haha.. we went knocking at 8:45pm. It's safe to say we woke up a few old peeps...oops! We had a lesson with a little girl named G who is 11 and her dad is a member. She wants to be baptized so badly! She's so cute and it's so neat to see how close to the Spirit young children are! We felt prompted to go to a certain side of town this week and I felt really drawn to a certain house. We went to knock and found 2 vicious dogs wanting to attack us and protect the house. We said a silent prayer and the dogs settled right down, letting us knock on the door and pet them! We had a really good conversation with the lady on her doorstep and I absolutely know that we planted a seed! On Saturday, we were able to go to the temple for a session and the sealing of the Satterfields! They are such a neat couple and will be taking their children back soon to be sealed to them :) I love the temple more than any other place in the world! I can't even describe the way I felt there! No wonder we are counseled to go often throughout our whole entire lives :) Brother and Sister Borth (Branch Mission Leader and Relief Society President) drove us to Lubbock- they are the sweetest people ever. I loved getting to study and sleep for hours on end in the car haha! 

On Sunday, we had a really good Sacrament meeting! I had the honor to speak about Loving others as Christ loved and we had 2 investigators and a less active who speaks only Spanish come! It was a big step for many of them! I love this work and am so grateful to be a part of it! I am so glad I was able to FaceTime y'all yesterday! Sorry it was kept so short! I hope you had a great Mother's Day momma! I love y'all!! Have a great week :)
Love,
Sister Evans
