To start two weeks ago we went to Midland for mission tour! We had Elder Dyches come and he talked a lot about the Book of Mormon and the importance of it! I love the Book of Mormon and being able to share it with others is a life changing experience! For example this past week we were asked to help judge pies for the youth activity! One of our members had invited a friend to come with him and his family! During this time our member was talking to him about the Gospel and at the end he asked about baptism and how it's done. We then showed him the baptismal font! Then we shared with him the Book of Mormon! It was so cool to stand there and watch his face light up as he learned something completely new. He said wow this is so cool! I knew about the Old and New Testament, but I have never heard of this before I can't wait to read it! It was so exciting!
Anyways back to Midland! While we were there I had the opportunity to go back with Sister McInelly! She is a sister that I trained there! While we were there we felt that we needed to visit our sweet friend Lauren who we had taught together at the beginning of that year! It was such a sweet reunion to be back together. We love Lauren and she is doing so good! She is still praying on a date to be baptized, and we can't wait for the day that she enters into the waters of baptism!
This past week was a week of ups and downs! Like last Monday we came to Abilene to go to the zoo, but it was so dang cold to go! So we just hung out with all of the other missionaries! It was such a fun day! Then later in the week we were told a friend we were teaching that was being adopted, was taken away from his family! We were heart broken for this family in our branch! But we did as our Savior would, we wrote them a card and then made them some dinner! It wasn't much, but I know that this family is loved by our Savior and they will make it through this time!
Other than that this week was pretty dang good! I am loving my life here in Eastland! God is good and I know that this work is real! I am so glad I get to be apart of it! Hope y'all have the greatest week ever and look for ways God blesses you everyday!
-with Love Sister Browning
