"What the Fart is that?" said the crazy great grandma...

The final week of any transfer is always full of good, Great, and ...what?

Here's the slice:

- One of our eternal investigators has been reading a Mormon blog and got some great questions on Judgment and the spirit world! We're going to teach her tonight...pray this works! I love Bev Hamilton and she's ready for this!

- Family History is nuts, we've been seeing the spirit of Elijah

everywhere we go and its the only way to tract in rich neighborhoods.  Indexing is needed....FYI.

- Emily Goates/Shaw (wow that's weird) had a baby!!! Congratulations!

I'm so glad you lived!

- I'm staying in Terre Haute for 6 more weeks!

This week has been so fun and you know what, I believe its because of the spirit. What a magical feeling the spirit can bring and that's really how we feel Joy. Sister Chase and I shared a message with some members and when we asked for suggestions Lucas (RM) taught me about the importance of a powerful spiritual punch. Lucas has a list of 7 things that bring the spirit. A couple of them are reading from the scriptures and testifying of Jesus Christ. I want your ideas on these 7 things...What brings the spirit into your life?

2 Corinthians 3:17

1 John 4:6

We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

D&C 84:46

And the Spirit giveth light to every man that cometh into the world;

and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that

hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit.

:) Have a great week!

Rubbadubb bub Thanks for the Grub...

You can always tell when Sister Partridge is hungry, it's just about

time for dinner, so this might be short...But This week was great! We

got another referral from a member and are way excited to drop by and

meet them. Ya gotta love those referrals!

Update on the car: it was completely fine! Just a loose wire that

made all the warning lights go off. Monday night sister Chase and I

got to bike through the sketchy part of town... in the dark, it was

great! Sister Chase got a flat tire and was attacked by a broken

fence that was hiding in the over hanging tree limbs, on the sidewalk,

so now she has a wicked scar starting. It was great! Bikes are soooo

dangerous! It was way funny!!

We spent most of the week learning the chirst-like attribute: Patience

and Knowledge. When we left the Library last week a man on a moped

stopped us and asked us what happened to the lost tribes of Israel?

...so yes, Sister Collins and I read the Bible lol... a lot this week in

search of the Lost tribes and learned a lot of cool stuff!

Knowledge is first found in Caring about something. Then having the

desire to study for it. We first must know the scriptures in order to

share our knowledge. One this I have noticed this week is the

difference in the members who "know" the scriptures and those that

"what to know" the scriptures. Those that "know" have stopped there

search for truth and knowledge and are less happy then those that

continually have questions and study them.

Those that take the time to study will increase in light and knowledge

more then anyone else. That is why the Prophet- No, The Lord has asked

us to read and ponder the Book of Mormon. The answers to life's hardest

questions are found in the sacred book we have! Read it! and Share it

on facebook, twitter, and instagram! This is pure joy, you know it and

I know it! and if you don't know it, go pray about it, because we have Joy at

our finger tips. We just need to study!

I love all of you, so Much! I pray for you and wish you a great week!

Sister Partridge :)

Preach My Gospel is a great study guide! fyi :D

...YAY GOD!

Fasting Miracles are a real Thing!

Hey Everyone,

Hope ya'll had a good week! Indiana has been way fun for Sister Chase and I. We finally finished a map of the area and were able to start on the ward directory. We met a lot of people this week and its been great! The work is moving forward and we are seeing the Lord chasten his people.

The miracle I am most grateful for started yesterday in church. We

fasted as a mission for the members and for Investigators, I have

never seen such a fast answer to any fast. It started with 5

nonmembers coming to sacrament meeting because members invited them, then when testimonies began it happened so fast I had no time to get up, everyone who stood up shared there love for the Lord and Missionary work. We even went over! We had a solid hour and a half of testimonies of missionary work! I haven't felt the spirit that strong in a while, and a couple non members got up to share as well!  Almost like lightning we started to get into conversations to help members work with there friends and even made a couple dinner appointments with non members! And the miracle continues, its amazing and I don't even know what happened!

Moral of the story: Fasting and prayer works!  And invite a friend to dinner with the missionaries! God loves each one of us and it is

because of that love he answers our prayers, it may not be in the way you think but He will always answer!

One of the best weeks ever, I want to cry with tears of Joy!

Also our car has been malfunctioning so we get to ride bikes for the

next couple of days. Ahh, the good old days. Sore butts and sweat for

days!! :)

I love you all, hope you all have a great October!

Love ya, Sister Partridge

Hey Everyone this week was crazy, "let me explain no there is too

much, let me sum up":

~Wednesday we got a referral for Bryan Jones. His brother Bill wanted

us to visit him in the hospital. We went and talked for awhile and He

wanted to meet again. YES! 1 New Investigator!

~ Thursday we went on crazy exchanges and found another super solid

investigator...for the YSA sisters. Her names Iris.

~ Friday we went back to visit Bryan and he wasnt in his room, the

nurses kept asking if we were family, finally they told us Bryan died

Thursday. YEESSSSSSsssss! 1 New Investigator ...... for my Grandpa!

He'll do great, Spirit World's the Best of all the amusement parks!

~ Saturday we met with Excel for bible study and his favorite

scriptures are in Isaiah! We read from the BOM and he ate it up, he

kept saying of that sounds like this scripture in Mathew or

Revelations. We will be meeting with him again next week.

~Sunday, General Confrence was awesome!!! Take that Satan, Everything

was soooooo good! We met with Iris as well.

So many amazing things happened this week, I cant tell all of them but

I do have a couple short stories I wanted to share, so if you don't

have time you can pick one and enjoy!

The day we went on exchanges was spiritually insightful. Sister Chase

went to Indiana University and I got Sister Mac for the day. We felt

like we needed to go to the park and so we prayed and went. ...There

was like 2 homeless probs high people in the park and that was about

it. We walked around for an hour with no one is sight so we desired to

leave. As we were walking back to the car we say this young black girl

walking a said hi. We soon found out she was looking for some kind of

faith builder and asked to meet with us! Now fast forward to Sunday,

we are back in the park with Iris for a faith building lesson. We

talked about the Grace and sacrifice of Jesus Christ and what that

means for her. She was so happy you could just see it on her face. We

had to cut things short because she was going to the late night mass

(yes shes Cathlic). As we walked we told her about how we came to be

"sisters" and she asked if we had a shorter name. Yep thats when we

mentioned Mormon. I got all tense inside expecting her to freak out or

run away or something, but her reaction was quite the opposite. She

got soooo excited she nearly made me pee my dress! She looked at us

and stated with so much joy that David Archuleta is Mormon! I have

never fan girled so hard in my life! She is looking forward to meeting

with us again, she feels "compelled to learn more about Mormonism". I

was on such a spiritual high last night, it feels so good to be an

instrument in the Fathers hands.

The prophet we have today means everything to me! His word and work is

all from God the Eternal Father. Be sure to go back and read his words

and listen with an open heart for the spirit. The only way to

happiness in this life and in the next is by living the words of our

Prophet Thomas S. Monson. If you feel hard and unreachable I would

encourage all of you to listen to the primary hymns, magic will

happen, I promise!

I love you all and I wish you the Best! Have a great week!

~Sister Partridge

P.s. Funny Story:I was on exchanges with sister Mac and we were

driving back to bowling green and the GPS was going crazy! Probably

the most sketch thing I've done in a while, 1st off we had just been

talking about how much we hate the walking dead and its like 9pm

and we are driving on dirt roads through the corn with no street

lights! Anticipation kept

building the further we went through the dark, we were passing all the

super creepy old falling apart farm houses when we make a turn into

.... wait for it....FOG! WTHeck i almost

peed my pants, I was going to loose it. Its a good thing no one was on

that road that night, cus I would have been charged for man slaughter!

I was freaking out and sister Mac was freaking out and we were in the

middle of no where waiting to die! It was a great night. :)
