November 8, 2021: Finding BIGFOOT & BEARS

We were driving through Downtown Palmer when a black lab runs across the road. We pull over, grab the friendly dog(Banjo), and call his owner. We were thinking it would lead to a great finding opportunity! Little did we know it would... No one answered the phone so we walk over to the closest building nearby. A friendly man welcomes us into his shop and tells us that Banjo is his. It was here that we had our finding opportunity... we walked into a Bigfoot Art Gallery. So yes, we found Bigfoot and the world famous artist who travels the world to see sasquatch activity. He was even on the show, "Finding Bigfoot". RobRoy is one interesting fella!

The recently widowed, 85 year old Dejuan Tracy takes my hand, looks at me with tears in her eyes, and says, "It's ok. I will see him again". What a simple, beautiful testimony she bore to me in less than 5 seconds. I love Dejuan with my full heart. 

We later went by her home for an uplifting message! She sadly informed us that she hadn't been able to read her scriptures or follow along in the, "Come Follow Me" curriculum that our church offers. We offered to read it to her! She was beyond grateful. We sang her a song and asked what we could do to help her spiritually during this challenging time. She told us to sing, "A Child's Prayer" at church the next day. Knowing it was fast and testimony meeting and there usually weren't musical numbers on that Sunday, we looked at each other... thought about how this upcoming transfer may split the two of us up... and accepted her offer. On Sunday, me and Sister BB bore our testimony of prayer through song for Sister Tracy. As we finished, she stood up in the middle of the congregation and blew us a kiss. The joy of one soul, moved the whole congregation to tears. I am thankful and grateful for the gift of love. 

Susan, the pumpkin girl had us over for our first lesson! Our fellowshipper Sister Dungan, came and gained her 5 year old son, Jerimiah's trust by playing with nerf guns. I love Sister Dungan! She's the coolest. Susan has recently lost the life of her sister. She doesn't know anything about religion other than the fact that she knows God lives. I said the closing prayer with Jerimiah repeating after me. It was a tender and spiritual moment for everyone in the room as Jerimiah said his first prayer. 

Choose to give others Joy,

Sister Rex
