Family, Friends, and those that I do not know,

This week has been hard, but as Brother Turner has said, "These hard times come just before the great things happen. Miracles are coming to Sealy, Sister, just you wait"...or something like that. Boy, was he right. Yesterday, Sunday, was a day of miracle. This is all I will talk about today.

Sunday morning we got ready and left for the day as normal. We went to the Spanish branch and attendance was sparse. There was about 40 people in attendance. I love going to the Spanish branch and I love that I am beginning to better understand what is being said. God has helped me with that. That is a MIRACLE. After Sacrament, through the bustling halls we went and there we saw Michele. Michele AND her family came to church!! How exciting this was!! This is a MIRACLE. We then took her and Grant, her husband, to gospel principles. There THEN was STANDING ROOM ONLY. THIS is a MIRACLE. There was power in the room, NOT just the spirit. "Miracle[s have come] to Sealy" rings in my mind again and again. Relief society begins soon after and again, there are no chairs by the time late comers come into class. This is a MIRACLE. NOW for English Sacrament meeting. This is where everybody comes together. On the average Sunday, we only get about maybe 100 people. Yesterday at church we had ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREE PEOPLE PRESENT. THIS IS A MIRACLE. GOD HAS PREPARED THOSE PEOPLE HERE TO BE READY TO HEAR THE GOSPEL. MIRACLES, my friend, are coming to Sealy. Miracles are coming. The Spirit was so completely and utterly enveloping yesterday. They had to set up like 4 extra rows. MIRACLES I TELL YA!!! Miracles.

Today is just a chill day. All the missionaries are here at the Turner Chicken Farm, where we live. It's all good. Life is good.

Purple Day!!

Well, I just thought of something more that I should mention.

On Friday, drum roll, WE GOT A TRUCK!! :D We met with President on Thursday and he noticed that we had a car...and he asked if we would like a truck. Sister Sheldon and I had kinda actually prayed that we would, and we did!! God cares about the little things just so ya'll know.

Our Beautiful Truck named "Clark"...yes...he is Superman!!

 P-day at the Turner home: Axis and Allies

NOTE: Ignore the death glare from Elder Terry. He really is a nice person.

Also, another side note, I got my hair cut again. It is wonderful. I might just keep it short for a while. I hope none of you mind. A second random note, I got to cut the elder's hair! I love cutting hair. Just thought ya'll should know.

Much love, ya'll have a blessed day.
