 Well, this week was long and somewhat uneventful. (I apologize from the depths of my heart).

Well, this week we found a lost sheep named Brother Forrest. Being a single man, we had to find a woman who was willing to go with us. It was a train wreck. We contacted a whole bunch of people and no one was able to come with us. UNTIL, someone told us to call the Potts. We hadn't met this couple, but we called them up and asked them to go with us to this lost sheep!
Well, we drive up and they put out of their car and they are incredibly old! 
Brother Potts gets out of the car slowly, and walks over to his wife's door. And she slowly slowly inches out of the car door. They link elbows and begin shuffling up to the two flights of stairs required to reach Brother Forrest's house. I've never taken the stairs more slowly or more concerned in my life.
However, Brother Forrest connected really well with the Potts and he told us he could come back.

Remember, there's nothing you could do to make Jesus love you any less.

Love,
Sister Brice

June 27, 2022 "A Great Fight of Afflictions"

  Hey everyone! Sorry it's been awhile. I moved into the Fontanelle apartments of North Omaha and it's been a wild ride. To catch you up: we moved into an area that hadn't had some success for awhile. Historically their relationship with missionaries, especially sisters, has been the worst in the mission. To top it off, we got bedbugs and I found out I was allergic to them just in time to be introduced to an apostle of the Lord. This week our apartments AC and washing machine broke so we've been living in front of our box fan and not touching the oven unless it's absolutely necessary. It's permanently about 84 degrees in our apartment right now. We had some crazy stories happen. One of the older sisters in our ward called us bawling and told us that her husband had cheated on her. We drove right over and for the next three hours tried to coordinate between the Relief Society and this dear Sister who was really struggling and comfort her because she had no one el...

May 9, 2022 "Baptism"

  Hey Guys! OK, I'm going to try to do my best to write a really good email.  We moved a LOT of people this week. It was a lot of fun but sometimes stressful because the people we were moving were very stressed.  A family in our ward let us try fresh unpasteurized milk straight from the cow. And it's absolutely delicious. I might be in love. They gave us a gallon of milk. Mother's day was a blast too!  Also, the highlight was Sonora's baptism. Sonora was someone that we've been teaching for awhile. She's incredibly sweet and has one of the most earnest desires to know the truth of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. We've spent several weeks and months helping to answer her questions and focus her attention on Jesus Christ and His restored gospel.  She was doing everything right- studying, praying, keeping the commandments, and having a genuine desire but for the longest time she didn't believe in the Book of mormon or modern prophets. It was a bit of a...

May 2, 2022 "At A Hindu Temple"

  Hey guys! We had a pretty wild week. Transfers hit and Sister Waite was sent to Nebraska City. Sister Gessel (my new comp) and I have been getting along really well. We have been able to do a lot of service this week AND we presented a lecture on our church at a Hindu temple. It was a blast and I learned a lot about the Hindu culture and religion.  Sorry this email is short! Love you all, Sister Brice
