Hi y'all!!
Well, I am now serving in Senatobia, Mississippi. I am enjoying it here. The members are really great, and have helped us out a lot. Just in the short time that I have already been here. I pray that all of you at home are good little member missionaries as well.
The area here is a little slow right now. Spiritual Harvesting isn't working too well. So we are working on new finding ideas. We also are going to really start working with Part Member families. Things with Nicole though are really coming along. She has a baptism date for July 12th. On Thursday we followed up on her reading of Alma 40, and I was amazed at her comprehension level. She seemed to really understand the Plan of Salvation. We then taught her the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the spirit was very strong. We took Abby and Sister Welch with us. They added a special spirit and powerful testimonies to the lesson. Nicole is planning on coming to church this coming week. I can't wait for her to feel of the spirit in God's house.

Sister Tu'ifua and I are working well together. We are still working on unity. But that will come through teaching more and more. As we are trying to get used to each others teaching style.

There was a special spirit involved in the two ITM's we did this week. I shared Alma 19: 17-18 with Sister Berry, and then the Chisolm family. I shared how Abish is a powerful example of being a member missionary. People were converted to the gospel. By the Spirit because she brought them to hear of King Lamoni's and Ammon's testimonies. I then offered a prayer asking God to reveal names of people who are ready to hear the gospel. In both instances, all involved were able to receive names. So this week we will be Following Up.

This week in studies I have continued to work on the 30 day B.O.M. reading challenge. I love this challenge because I always get new insights as I re-read Christ's words. This time I have focused on prayer. Highlighting every reference to prayer. It's been a great experience because I have learned how important prayer truly is. I love how we can pray about anything, and we can pray at anytime. I am especially touched by how many times the prophets prayed for their enemies. Something that I want to work on is praying for everyone. Not only for those who are my friends. But also those who may not completely enjoy my presence.
I hope that we all can be better member missionaries. That we pray each and everyday for missionary opportunities. That we pray specifically to know what people we can touch. I know that as you pray God will place someone in your mind. He also will provide you with the means by which you can bring those around you closer to Christ.
Love y'all!!
Sister W. Williams
