Well folks! The title says it all. We had a tornado on Friday! Here is the story.
Sister Meyring and I were in the furthest town away from our apartment. We got a phone call from our district leader saying to return home immediately. Now keep in mind, the sky was blue and not a cloud in sight. So we thought we were in danger or in some kind of trouble. But our mission president sent a message in our zone group chat that we were under a tornado watch and that we needed to be home. We took the 30 minute drive and made it home. A few hours later we were in a lesson with a member. In the middle of the lesson, we get the message that we need shelter immediately. We hung up the phone and headed to the shelter. Our whole district had the same shelter which was fun! The tornado hit my very first area in Andover. The damage was really bad. But the community is really stepping up and helping. Plenty of service opportunities! Please pray for those who had houses destroyed! It is really sad 
This week was a week full of miracles. I love having a front row seat to see them all. Our friends Susan and Rick came to church and they are on date to be baptised on the 22 of this month. Everyone pray for Susan and Rick! I love them so much! Susan called us on Monday and told us that her cigarettes are starting to taste funny!!!! So she has cut back a lot since I first met her almost 6 months ago. God is so real and he loves you!! I was reminded of that this week.
We found Brandi and her daughter Gracie this week! They are a part member family. It was a really interesting lesson!
Another miracle was that we had a less active come to church this week with her husband and her daughter. We've been meeting with her since I got to this area and she hasn't come to church. She accepted our invitation after weeks of being invited. They all stayed for both hours of church. One of the pictures down below is them at church and I photo bombed it! Hope you enjoy that picture. It's kind of embarrassing but that's okay
