GUCCI WEEK

It was a gucci week this week!! We had 4 exchanges this week, 3 of them in a row so we are a bit drained from that but its all good in the hood!! Last pday was a little rough because we blew out a good 100 miles in just 1 day!! So that was crazy!! But we had fun playing kickball and all that jazz!!

The same night we had dinner with one of my favorite families in the Ward, the Whipples!! Bro. Whipple reminds me of my dad, except with a full head of hair!! It was a great time!!

 

 

 "Happy Halloween! We have a tradition in our family to have "dinner in a pumpkin" the Monday before Halloween. This year we invited the elders to join us and had so much fun! These two are a great team! Their lessons are spirit-filled and awesome, but they also laugh a lot and have fun! We are grateful to have them in Carrollton! Elder Northrup probably said 5 times that night, regarding jokes my husband would make and things he'd say to my kids, "That is exactly something my dad would say!" And then laugh hysterically! You can tell he loves and misses his family back home." Message from Sister Whipple who sent the picture.

Tuesday we were up in Hiram for an exchange!! I was with Elder Hudson the man the myth the legend!! We had a great day of finding and teaching!! Hiram is a good place to be!!

Wednesday we had a few really good lessons!! Mason and Catrina met with us for a bit to discuss the Gospel of Jesus Christ!! It was a really good lesson, the spirit was there and a member actually saw us when he got out of class and sat in for a while!! 

Later that afternoon, Mason and Catrina drove us to an appointment that they had set up for us at a lady named Carla's house. Mason had given her a Book of Mormon and testified of it multiple times!! This time, while all 4 of us were there, we taught the Plan of Salvation to her! She really believed what we were saying and Catrina (of all people) even spoke up and testified of the Spirit World!! She has been super shy in the past so it was cool to see her break out of her comfort zone!! 

On Thursday I had the privilege of going on an exchange with one of my favorite Elders in the mission!! Elder Gilbert is the funniest dude alive, we had a great time doing the work!! Definitely hanging out with the bro when it comes time to go home!!

On Friday I had another great exchange with the one and only Elder Woolsten!! He is also a really funny bro so we had a fun time living it up in the ghetto of Douglasville!! There is a part of town that is called 'the other side of the tracks' (railroad tracks) that is super ghetto and we spent a lot of time over there!! Lots of fun and interesting experiences!! LOL

On Saturday I had another exchange with Elder Finley in Villa Rica!! I scored with exchanges this week, lots of really funny and hardworking Elders!! The same night we had a Stake Conference with a member of the Seventy, Elder Gillwaters!! He is a cool dude, learned a lot from him!

The only mentionable thing would be that Mason and Catrina are struggling with some stuff so we are meeting with them again on Wednesday! Please pray that they will have open hearts and that the spirit will enter into them!

Love y'all, 

Go fight win 

Elder Northrup
