How is it already November???
Howdy! Hope you all had a happy Halloween!!! Send me a pic of your costumes...here was mine! 
Besides my comp and I dressing up as "Wicked," here are some other fun things that happened!
️ took a flic in front of the iconic Alabama sign that I have been dreaming of seeing my whole mission️ tried the Circle K Dr. Pepper hotdog (don't recommend)️ met with Sister Galland to plan and film a fun Christmas project for the mission️ Pilates in the morning with the Alabaster sisters️ one last ice cream run with the Stansfields!️ dinner with my young women's leader old young women's leader...full circle moment and kinda fun...I get to serve in the area she grew up in️ got bashed by a lady at Panera Bread yayyyUpdates on our friends: We met some cool people this week but we still need people to teach! We do talk with Rani every day and she is absolutely amazing. She is still trying to get confirmation that baptism is right for her; pray for her and also for her crazy busy work schedule that she won't have to work on Sundays!
Miracle of the week was meeting our friend Tracy! We were at the library on Thursday and this lady kept sticking out to me every time we walked past her. So we go up to her and introduce ourselves as missionaries for Jesus Christ. Immediately the realization hit and she starts crying! She knew right away God sent us to her. Because of her faith and recognizing we were put in her path for a reason, she agreed to do a church tour and come to church! She lives 40 minutes away but still came to the church both days! All because she recognized the miracle of God's hand earlier in her week and then that day when she met us. I was inspired by the faith that she had that we were put in her path for a reason. Pray for her! Oh, and she loved church by the way. Sad news is that we are gonna have to pass her off to the Bessemer Elders because she lives in their area. I am so grateful for that experience though and that I have the opportunity to be an earthly angel for God's children here in Alabama! It's not often that all of them recognize that God sent us to them, but when they do, oh how special it is.
Before I sign off, I want to leave you with some banger talks that Sister Caraway and I listened to this week. They are SO GOOD. 
- If you need some entertainment and want to learn more about the plan of salvation...this one will change your life. Most entertaining thing I did all week was listen to this: 'Life is a Football Game' by Troy Dunn
- If you are looking to slow down and find peace...this one is also a banger: https://speeches.byu.edu/
I hope you all have an amazing week! Also if you send me something on Messenger and I don't respond, well it's because we are no longer using it. If you wanna chat, shoot me an email or download Google Chats. 
Love you guys!!!
Sister Ekins ♡♡♡
