Markee's Mississippi Mission: *snaps*

Last Monday consisted of a lot of rest after we walked to and from the library. That is pretty much all that happened. I wasn't really up for anything else...

Tuesday: We had a service project! We went to a less active's apartment with her daughter and this lady has been in the hospital for months and she is now going into an assisted living place. This lady had so much Bishop Storehouse food saved up you would think she was preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse! Which we all know will be starting in the south.

Naturally we got all the food.... and a microwave for Beth because she needed one.

Wednesday: We had ZTM! We went up with the STLs because we still don't have a car.....

Then we went to Newk's (it's pretty much the Kneaders of the south)

Then we went to Sister's meeting.

At ZTM the STLs gave a lesson on talents and stuff and the ZLs had us play Jeopardy!

I have never laughed so hard in my life!!

Thursday: We had a miracle!

We were walking down the street and the ZLs drove up and we started to talk to them. We told them that we were going to go see Alyson, an investigator who is never home, so Elder Bennett said a prayer for us before we left and then we went to try Alyson.

She wasn't home.

So we started to tract.

We met a really nice agnostic/atheist lady who told us to try the next door, and so we did.

Guess who was there!

ALYSON!

It is her mother in law's house and her mother in law (Betty) is having a hard time right now. We prayed with them, then walked home.

It was a pretty good day.

Saturday: Miracle #2

We were walking, like missionaries do, and there was this lady that was walking in the opposite direction. We shouted "Hi How are you?" - because we are missionaries and are nosy like that -

and she said she was sad. :(

So we crossed the street and started talking to her.

She said she was sad because she didn't think that Heavenly Father was answering her prayers. She also said that her husband was progressing and she wasn't so she wants to ask for a divorce so that she doesn't hold him back. It was sad, but I think we talked her out of that.

We listened to her and then we told her that Heavenly Father loves her and isn't punishing her at all.

We read Jacob 5:21-22 and talked about how the Lord knows when we are in a tough situation but He asks us to hold out to the end.

Then we introduced the Book of Mormon to her and she accepted a copy and said she would read 3 Nephi 11!

She doesn't live in our area :( but hopefully we helped her.
