 Hi Everyone!!!

I am so dearly sorry for not emailing you all I know you're just dying to hear how I am doing! Lol. So here you go, I am doing so good!! Im not even lying, I love it here with my whole heart. I love teaching people, finding people, and I love the members. AND to top it all off, it's getting SO WARM!! I could cry it brings me so much joy, we went on a run yesterday morning and I seriously have never felt more happy in my life, I could have ran for the whole day. 

Alright, so we have 3 friends on date! Joel, Nick, and Tristan! I met Joel last transfer with Sister Bingham in a library, we met Nick last week and put him on date our first lesson, hes so awesome. Tristan I met at Kipling station. I hope they all keep progressing and be baptized in the next couple weeks! 

Something that has been super cool is that right now we are teaching so many people from different christian backgrounds! We have a few catholic friends, orthodox, and some very devout non-denominational Christians. I've learned so much about them and their beliefs and it's been SO FUN teaching them about the Book of Mormon, and seeing them read it. 

These past few weeks I have felt very focused on Faith. In all of our lessons I have to have faith that the spirit will touch their hearts, and have faith that they will recieve a witness of the Book of Mormon. Trusting that although I am imperfect, Jesus christ is perfect, and he is where I can find strength. 

During the Departing Testimonies this Tuesday, a Sister said this and I will never forget it. "If you were big, or if you were perfect, you could not fit into the hands of the Savior."

Love you all, please email me let me know how you are doing!!

 Hello again, I feel like im emailing you guys everyday, P-day just keeps coming up faster and faster. But it's good im excited to update y'all on everything.  This week was so good we now have 4 friends on date! They are all amazing and have strengthened my testimony of this gospel so so much. I'm so excited for them! Monday to Tuesday I exchanged with our STLs. I was with Sister Johnson!! I love her she's awesome and such a diligent missionary I learned so much from her. We taught one of our friends about the 10 commandments and when we said thou shall not Kill, he said we shouldn't kill with knife, but in Nigeria, we kill with gun... Yeah that was crazy so we had to make sure he knew any killing is against the commandments🤣 then we had FHE and we played telestrations! It was fun but it's definitely more fun with my family. And yesterday we got WingStop! Idk if you guys have ever tried it... but it is literally the best chicken tenders ive ever had. I got the...

Farewell and Setting Apart

 Shelby was so nervous to give her talk, but she did amazing! Her testimony is powerful. She talked of building a relationship with Jesus Christ. Her testimony of serving in the temple was sincere and strong. It was an amazing talk, as if she has already gone and served! The Dean girls; Mom, Emily, Ellee, Hailey and Aubrey sang the song Because, by Shawna Edwards. It was a beautiful song that added the spirit to the meeting. Finally, President Lootens spoke, and he told of how much he loves Shelby and the Dean family. It was a nice tribute. We had an open house here at our home, where wonderful friends and family came: The Lee's, Grandma and Grandpa Martin, Jordan, The Hubbards, The Walkers,  The Waltons, The Rodriguezs, The Ackroyds, Sebastian Badara, Karam, and Sarah Pender. We ate Ham sliders and 6 different salads and desserts. After the opening house, we made our way to the stake center where Shelbys was set apart as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-d...
