Sister Kelly in the South: So Grateful

I am so grateful for Heavenly Father and the blessings he gives to us!

On Monday we were tracting and met this guy named Remington. He is this tall black guy who is covered with tattoos. He was really nice and let us teach him the Restoration. It was a really good lesson and before we could invite him he asked if he could come to church with us! We told him where it was, gave him a chapter to read in the Book of Mormon, and then set up another appointment. We went back on Thursday and he hadn't read the chapter. So we talked about why he needs to read and answered some questions he had. He didn't come to church but said he really wants us to come back. I really hope he is serious about changing!

We also we able to teach Theresa twice this past week. She is the lady we met with sister Naylor. Our first lesson we taught the Restoration and then on Friday we gave her a church tour with her two daughters. It went really well. She said she has been studying and has questions for us when we meet again. We love when people have questions!

We stopped by and got to visit with Velisha again on Thursday. She was having a really rough day and said she was glad that we stopped to talk with her. We are hoping we will be able to meet with her and April on a regular basis but I am not sure if that will actually work.

Just keep praying for us :)

Saturday I went to Biloxi, Mississippi on an exchange. It was a lot of fun! This sister i was with had a lot of questions and it was fun and exciting to be able to help her improve her missionary work!

I am so thankful for the scriptures and the blessings they are to me. I have been studying in 2 Nephi 2 this week. It's wonderful to be reminded that God has a plan for us. And in the end that plan was designed to make us happy. What more could we really ask for?

Love you all and I am so thankful for everything y'all do for me. Remember you Father in Heaven is always there for you!

love, Sister Erika Kelly
