Dear Family,

History was made in the Texas Lubbock Mission. We got an additional 32 new missionaries this transfer, making 256 missionaries in our mission now! Its crazy. ha.

This week we witnessed a miracle. There sure is power in fasting, let me tell you. R. is so excited for his baptism, and thanks us every day for changing his life.  He has completely changed in the past month we have been teaching him. I think my testimony of the Atonement really grew this transfer. His family and friends around him are shocked at the difference, in fact we should have a referral coming from him soon. His neighbors are interested in talking to us, so thats exciting! So as long as he stays clean, we should be having a baptism this Saturday. Please keep him in your prayers.

We went on exchanges again this week to Monahans. I am beginning to know West Texas very well. haha.

Transfer calls were Saturday. Sister Tooley and I will be staying, and we will be getting a new sister, Sister Lagrossa who just got done training. Sister Bradford will be going to Brownwood, so hopefully I will still be her sister training leader! We are getting more and more investigators and teaching opportunities. Its exciting, but of course exhausting. I pray for the strength everyday.

Alma 38:5. Replace Shiblons name with ya'lls. Its comforting to know he will help us through anything! Love and miss you all!

Sister Turner
