Hello!! How's erry'thing going?! YAY for a new sweet baby girl in our family! Way to go Brittnie and Stettsen! I can't wait to meet her :)
Well, we had a really good week here! We started off the week by heading out to our outlying towns, Ropesville and Sundown, for the first time! We had lots of success meeting some former-investigators who have been more and more prepared for the gospel over time! It's so neat to see! We took a member out with us, Sister Robinson, and she really clicked with the sweet people, so that's exciting for these individuals to have someone they already know and feel comfortable around before they come to church!
We did a lot of service this week, too! President Heap has asked us to get at least 10 hours of service a week and for the 1st time in forever we're actually reaching and exceeding that service goal! We helped clean/ detail a member's kitchen (she just broke her wrist and isn't able to do much.) I feel so bad for her- she's got a full arm cast just like I had in high school! We also cleaned closets and carpets for another member, and got to paint some shelves white for the temple and church bathrooms!
I had my last Zone Conference this past week and it was so powerful! The Assistants to the President instructed on normal and natural ways for both members and missionaries to share the gospel. I love the phrase that we can use in any conversation when talking literally about anything! It's "... that's what I love about my church!..." and then you carry on with your conversation! I've used it all week and every single time, they stop and say, "Wait, what church do you go to and where is it located?" I love it!!
President Heap instructed about Sabbath Day observance at church and also the Book of Mormon! We are so lucky to have the Heap's! President Heap is a master teacher- all those years of teaching Institute have helped him be so spiritually knowledgeable and a powerful teacher! I can't wait for y'all to meet them someday! My testimony of the Book of Mormon has increased so much this week and I am so grateful for that sacred record! We must never treat it casually or lightly- God has revealed this book for our DAILY use! We absolutely NEED it's pure doctrine to survive the toils and strife of today's world. I love this book. It is so special to me! I hope and pray that each of y'all can have a testimony of it for yourselves!
I love y'all so much! Have a good week :) Love, Sister Evans
[OH! And HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEN!]
That's a pirate ship in someone's driveway! Texans ;)
Took Sister Johnson to the top of El Templo!

President Heap's Sweet BOM Display for Instruction
(he made these when he was teaching seminary. He had his students write their testimonies of the gospel in a hieroglyphic code)
