God is Good!

Hey y'all! Another great week in Texas is down in the books. This week has been so awesome. 

On Monday we went to dinner with some kids in our branch for new years eve. It was Sister Goodmansens last dinner. We always have so much fun being with our branch members. 

On Tuesday I said goodbye to Sister Goodmansen. She has accomplished her mission. Then I went on exchanges all day with Sister Hopkins. We did a lot of service that day. Then later that night I met my new companion Sister McInelly (pronounced MacInelly) . She is so sweet and is ready to work hard. We went to Whataburger. It was really good. Then we went to straight to a lesson with a less active member with our senior couple missionaries. I guess it had been really hard to get ahold and meet up with this kid. The Andersons have been praying ever since they met him a year ago that they could meet with him again. We were able to. It was such a spirit filled lesson. We were able to talk about faith and having faith in Jesus Christ. Then we had the opportunity to share the love that our Heavenly Father has for him. 

As we meet with people and talk to them you get a strong feeling of love and I know that feeling is how our Heavenly Father loves all of his children. It is so rewarding. That is one of my most favorite parts of being a missionary, is being able to see others the way our Heavenly Father sees them. 

We did a lot of finding this week at parks and at the mall. We were able to find a couple of people and we have hopes that we will be able to meet with them soon. 

On Sunday we as a mission fasted for missionary work and opportunities. It was super awesome to be apart of that and fasting truly does work. We had 2 new members move into our ward. One of them is recently coming back to church and wants to take the lessons over again. He is such an awesome kid and has such a strong desire to learn more of this Gospel. We also had a break the fast with the branch. There is always the best food ever there. This past week was so awesome and I look forward to this coming week. 

The Lord has a plan for Midland YSA branch and I am excited to see it unfold. Being a missionary is one of the most rewarding experiences and I am grateful to be one. I love you all so much and hope you have a blessed week!

-Love Sister Browning
