Dear Family and Friends,

We've had a great week! Kayla and Corey are both doing well and are well on their way to baptism.  They are both reading the Book of Mormon and are loving it!  It's interesting how they are two separate investigators, but they are often on the same page.  It's neat to see how the gospel has blessed both of them in their different lives.  We were invited to share our testimonies of the Book of Mormon to the 12 year olds' Sunday School Class.  The spirit was really strong and you can tell that these youth are good kids.  The church is really helping prepare the youth as they are developing their own testimonies.  We had a sweet experience this week as we followed a prompting.  We felt like we should see this less active sister who wasn't really progressing.  She's old, and a little bit crazy, and she doesn't really listen to what we say.  But we felt this tiny little prompting that we should see her, so we wrote her in our plans and off we went the following day.  When we were there, we met her granddaughter who is going through a divorce and had a miscarriage not too long ago.  She said she's on a spiritual journey right now.  We knew that we were sent to see her!  We gave her a Book of Mormon and talked about the peace that the gospel brings to us.  She agreed to meet with us again!  It's amazing to see how the Lord is always preparing people for us. 

I'm so grateful I get to spend my last transfer here and strengthen the relationships I have with the ward and the area.  I love the Pellissippi ward so much!  Knoxville has become my home away from home :)
