Indiana Here I COME!

Happy New Year!!!! Indiana is officially the Best mission in the world!

This week has kind of been crazy. It started at the airport when we missed our flight from Minneapolis to Indianapolis. But there was a reason... my amazing companion, Sis. Muhlestein was ready and able to teach an elderly man the Restoration and he not only accepted the Book of Mormon, but he took it right out of her hands! We also made it in at 5p.m. instead of 11p.m. like we thought. It was so nice! We also got Chick-fil-a, SUPER stoked for that! Then we spent the night at the Mission home, met our companions the next day and then we were off! 

     I am currently in Lafayette, serving with the nicest people on the planet! I love the members, they are so good to Sis. Collins and I. A tender mercy I have seen this week happened just yesterday. 

When I came out to my area things were moving a little slow, we have a clean slate to work with and it's Great! Yesterday was fast Sunday, so we were fasting for the work and each other and the people of Indiana. I asked to be guided and boy were we guided! My companion picked an area on the map and I picked a street and we took off tracting after church, no one was home accept like 5 people. I got to experience giving a lesson on the Restoration to this guy who works with a christian based housing company, the Plan of Salvation to an atheist who was raised Catholic, and kind of Bible bashed with this Lutheran guy, but it's kind of hard if you don't know the bible, so it was just us testifying of the truthfulness of Joseph Smith. Heavenly Father showed me just a touch of how those who are ready to receive the gospel will recognize us as servants of him. 

 I love this Church so much, this is the church of Christ and I can't wait to learn more about his Life and example. I pray all of you can have the chance to feel the same way. I love you all and wish you the best of God!

See you soon enough, 

Sis. Partridge

Side note: Sister Partridge wrote in a letter to her parents the following:
I had a really hard first week, I think it was just because this is the first time I have ever been thrown somewhere that is completely new with no one I know. Oh ya and I have to talk to people, ... instead of there dog... It's been a cool learning experience.  
We love Sister Partridge's sense of humor!  She's awesome!
