From the emails I've read, it sounds like y'all are doing well! Thanks for all the updates! I'm also doing great!
We have had a week full of service, working with returning less actives, and searching for new people to teach! We started off the week with meeting a new family in our ward, the G family. They are trying to be more actively involved at church and were sealed in the temple last December! I love seeing others have such a strong desire to come back and be even stronger than ever before! We also visited another less active lady this week- her name is P and she almost bit my head off for calling her by her full name and not just "P" haha! Yikes! Sorry :) She's a hoot though! Then we had a brief little "mini" exchange with some of the other sisters that are serving outside of Lubbock- they came for district meeting and then we all had to wait to go to lunch because Sisters Carroll and Udall had a lesson, so we went contacting for an hour with the other sisters until they were done with their lesson!
We helped a sweet 78 yr. old lady named Frances this week with moving her stuff out of her apartment so that they can re-do the tile and carpet. That sweet lady has got some serious spunk!! She used to be a baptist preacher and is the funniest woman ever!
It sounds like y'all got the video of me riding on a little kid roller coaster - that was at the Zant's home! They are a super fun family! We were asked by a member to come and stain a fence this week for a non-member family next door! We had a great time :) Hey Dad, now I am an "experienced stainer!" I can help you with the deck next time! haha.
This week is going to be great! My last zone conference is this Wednesday- nuts! We are also traveling to our outlying towns to meet some former investigators in Ropesville and Sundown. Those are some nice Texas town names, huh?! I love Texas so much! This is the greatest place to ever serve! I love what I have been called to do! I love everything that I am learning about the gospel, myself, and others. I absolutely love being able to share my testimony each day! I love y'all and will talk to ya next week!
Love, Sister Evans
I forgot to share my "ponderize" scripture last week... 2 Nephi 9:18
This week's.... Mosiah 2:22
And behold, all that he requires of you is to keep his commandments; and he has promised you that if ye would keep his commandments ye should prosper in the land; and he never doth vary from that which he hath said; therefore, if ye do keep his commandments he doth bless you and prosper you.
Package from the Fam!
God Bless Texas!
