The best week ever! 🍁👻💕

Hey Y'all! This past week has been a blast, and I can't wait to tell y'all all about it!

This past week was transfer week! Which always makes for a bit of a crazy week, but it was pretty good! I stayed here in Eastland, and I got a new companion! Her name is Sister Brumbaugh she is from Rexburg Idaho! She has been out for almost 11 months and, is so so sweet! Some other super exciting news.... Sister McInelly (my mission daughter) is now serving in Abilene Texas! Which means I get to see her once a week! The reunion we had though was so good! I have missed her with my whole entire heart. It's been a while since I had seen her, but she has grown so much! She is such an example to me!

This past week we actually had to wear coats! It has been so cold, actual fall weather... say what! It was so rainy this week it made my heart so happy! We had dinner with this super sweet family the Paul's! They gave us hot chocolate and we even played a couple of round of pie face! It was so fun a little kid from their family we are teaching slapped whip cream on my face!   A lot of this week consisted of preparing for Corey's Baptism!! Yay!!! We were visiting with people making sure the programs were done, and people were able to help with other things! I'm not going to lie it was a bit stressful, but it all turned out well!

Saturday was the best day ever! Because Corey was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! Yay! It was definitely a very long road for him and this past month has been even longer. But on Saturday he made covenants with God and he couldn't be happier. It was so fun to see him and his family come to church on Sunday as well! I know they will fit in perfectly. We are now working with his wife and son to get them baptized hopefully soon! The branch that I am in had set a goal at the beginning of the year to have 3 baptisms! This was a lofty goal for this branch since they had not had a baptism in over 3 years. Saturday Corey was the 3rd person this year to be baptized! God really does preform miracles. Even here in little Eastland Texas!

Friends and Family! I know this church is true! I know that through the Gospel of Jesus Christ Families can be together FOREVER! I am so grateful that I get to be with my family forever! God is so good y'all! I love you all soooo much! Have the best week ever and see God in everyday!

-Love Sister Browning

Hey Y'all it's been another great week here in the land of Eastland Texas! I bet you are all so excited to hear about it! So here ya go!

Monday was pday so we did all of our normal pday things! It was an awesome day! Then that evening Marleigh had her baptismal interview which she blew out of the water. She did so good! She was so excited to be baptized. The elders had come down from Abilene and neither of them had been to Eastland before. So afterwards we took them to see Old Rip the famous horney toad! I mean who wouldn't want to see that!

Then on Tuesday we woke up bright and early at 4:40 to play sports. But none of the Elders showed up so ya! I wasn't salty at all! Then we had district council which is always a blast I love my district here! We learned about listening to the spirit! The spirit testifies of truth and it is so powerful to bear testimony and say I know that it is true! I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God! I know that God loves His children so much! I know that because he loves us he calls Prophets to lead and guide us to return to Him again! Then the rest of the afternoon we went and made some visits! We had dinner with our good friend Corey! He is so excited to be baptized and is sad that it is taking forever for it to happen. But only a little bit more longer! He has his baptism interview this next week!

Then the rest of the week we went finding on Campus and found a couple of really nice people. We hope to meet with then some time this coming week! God is preparing people for us and I am so stoked to find them all! We prepared a lot this week for Marleighs baptism! We made lots of calls and got her program all ready! We wanted to make sure this was an experience that she would not forget! Saturday was the day of her baptism and she was so happy and excited! The spirit was so strong and again it testified to me, that what she was doing was so good! Marleigh is officially a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! God is so good my friends! Life is amazing and I love being a missionary! God bless y'all and have a wonderful week! I love you all sooo much!
-love Sister Browning :)
