Hey friends! We had transfers today and guess what happened!? The Lord put two Mesa, AZ gals together to continue to hasten the work here in b-ville! Her name is Sis Farnsworh and she is sooo sweet! Yes....no need to ask! We have already made some connections of people we both know, such as a Sis Margaritis and Sis Allen! Some of my very best friends on missions! Sis Farnsworth is feeling 22 and has been out for 11 months, she has 6 brothers and 1 sister, she also follows in line as second oldest! She has a brother on a mission in Chile! She also trained my MTC companion sis Paskett! We are so excited to keep working here! :) Yesterday was the end of the 40 day fast and we have seen so many miracles and tender mercies from the fasting of the members here! It has been really cool to see and also that it continues on! So many got up and bore testimony including sis Chappell and I of the amazing things we have seen and the missionary work that has gone on. The coolest thing to see is the excitement from the members and our branch mission leader Bro Isaksen! We had three people yesterday agree to the lessons :) all through the members! One of them is chuck Thompson who has been coming to church for a long time and bro Merlin Evans the old branch president is really good friends asked him and offered to have them in his house! It's just so cool to see the fruits of our labor as missionaries and members of the church! Oh also last Sunday we stopped by mary and Adam ragel some la couple and we talked to her for like 15 min about why their not coming to church and where the Brownsville branch is...and early this Sunday morning as i was getting ready for church the Spirit told me to text and remind Mary when church started...so I did! They texted back and said see you there! So cool...then we get there and Adam starts to tell us..."it's so weird it's like you knew we were talking about you and that we needed to know the time of when church started so we can come!" And then they said they were going to make it a weekly thing.."this whole coming to church thing" ;) Well I gotta go try and find the phone cause sis Chappell and I lost it this morning and I still can't find it....it's a problem! Bah! Love sister heywood!! Xoxo "Jesus is not waiting for us to be perfect, perfect people don't need a savior, he came to save us in our imperfection, he is The Lord of the living and the living make mistakes he is not embarrassed by us angry at us or shocked. He wants us in our brokenness in our unhappiness in our guilt in our grief."
