Transferred Today

Sister Randall was transferred today!  Here are a few pictures of her and Sister Dayton.
Sister Dayton & Sister Randall left the MTC together and flew to Georgia together and now they are companions!
Yes we are silly and traded our name tags!
Last Picture: This is Sister Talley! Sister Randall met her in her first area!  Sister Talley helps to drive Sisters to their new areas during transfers.  Every time Shelby is transferred she gets to see her!  So good to see this picture of friends together again! 




Rose Got Baptized!!!!!


Wow what a great week! Rose got baptized!!!!! It was such a great day and the service was so nice! It was probably the best baptism I have ever attended. She is going to do amazing things and I am so grateful that I was able to speak at the baptism and share in the joy with her. I think the best part of the baptism was her son Sydney and his friend from the ward sing a musical number. The primary children have something that none of the rest of us do! After the baptism we went to see a less active sister in the ward Ms. Daisy. She is 83 and home bound and she really wanted a vacation so we brought the vacation to her! We went to Hawaii! That night I got the call that I would be transferred so I will be leaving on Tuesday. I am going to be sad to leave those that have really changed me but I know its time for a change! I hope y'all have a good week I love ya! Pictures to come!!!

Hurricane Matthew

Wow what a week! As some of you may know Hurricane Matthew has been making a mess around the coast so we got to have some great adventures from that! Wednesday we got a call that 2 zones from the mission are being evacuated so be prepared to have at least one other set of missionaries come to stay with you. So we all went to district meeting and had a good time and we didn’t get a call so we thought we where free of houseguests! Thursday morning we got up and got a call from Sister Grayson asking if we could take in a set of Sisters from Pooler, so they are coming from the Savannah area. Ten minutes later we had Sister Violet and Sister Tanner at our door! We got them settled in and went to work! That night we did service at a methods soup kitchen. It was really awesome to serve with people of other faiths and serve the community. 
   Friday was a great day! We got a text from Rose that she has really been thinking about it and she wants to set a date to get baptized! That night we went over for our lesson that we usually have on Friday and had a great lesson! At the end she told us that she doesn’t want to wait any more so this weekend October 15th Rose is going to get baptized!!!! We are so excited for her she is so ready!!! Now we are just trying to get ready for Saturday! 
   Saturday we helped a older couple move in from Florida. They are not members but we got a call from the Elders in Florida that they taught them the lessons and that they are very interested. We will be working with them in the up coming weeks! 
   Sunday was good the ward was packed with people from the coast that are trying to stay out of the way of the storm. So it was a great testimony meeting! 
   Monday was so fun we had two zones up here due to the hurricane and the Georgia national fair was going on in Perry.  So we all went down to that! It was a good break and the fair grounds are amazing! We got to play around there for a while before we had to head back. Today our friends headed back to Pooler so we are hoping and praying that all goes well for them. Please pray for those that where affected by the storm there is a lot of damage! Thank y'all for all your love and support!

Sick with the Flu

Hey y'all I hope that you had a great week! This week was so long! Sister Thatcher and me both got sick with the flu so that took us out for half of the week! But it’s all-good!  We got out and still talked to people and got to see my favorite lady Ms. Daisy! She is so cute and old! We also got to do a family home evening with Rose and her family and a couple other people. It was a good time and I think it really helped them. Conference was great we got to watch most of it at the church and then we watched the last session at the Starkey’s! It was cool to see Elder Usada and Elder Meurs speak since they where just here a few weeks ago talking with us in the mission! Hope that y'all have a good week! Love ya!
