"I've Been Reading Your Book!!"

So y'all are probably sick of me talking about bugs BUT here's your fun fact about Ham/Cat for the week. The population of ticks in my area is like 10,000x more than the population of humans, lol. So this week we went over to our friend Jeri's house and she was petting one of her puppies and found a hugeee tick, so she just casually pulled that thing out and it SPLATTERED all over her hand! I almost threw up. So nasty. A trial in my life for sure hahah. 

Speaking of funny experiences, this week Sister Bourgeous and I were out tracting and a lady answered the door and started talking to us for a minute. She told us her name was Maria and that she wasn't interested, so we asked if she had any neighbors that were and she said nope. Then as we were saying bye to her I said, in my most confident voice, "Okay cya later Chris!" Hahaha! I called Maria the completely wrong name. So Maria if you are reading this, sorry. Sister Mod is losin' it.  

Ah this week was SO cool though! (Figuratively and literally cuz it's like -4 degrees here, smh) but there is a lady that Sister Ewell and I talked to during the summer who was like, "This is a sign from God that you guys are here talking to me!! I know that this is what He wants me to do!!" Then after that lil' revelation she dropped off the face of the planet. But this week we decided to randomly go to her house and check on her and she opened the door and let us right in! We sat down and she was like, "I've been reading your book!!" She was 9 CHAPTERS into the Book of Mormon and she was loving it! We are going to start meeting with her every week now and Sis Bourgeous and I are feelin' #blessed for real. The Book of Mormon is so amazing and I am SO grateful for the challenge that President Nelson gave to read it and mark whenever Christ is mentioned! As I've focused on Christ in the Book of Mormon I find it easier to focus on Him throughout the day which has made the good days great and the bad days better. :) Life is good, friends. Focus on the Savior and life is always good! 

Hope everyone had a good week!! 
 Love, Sister Mod
