Power Hour Miracles!‏ July 25, 2016

​We got Firos' gelato last Monday- delish!
One of our members started this fire-grilled
 pizza place in Lawton, and it's our addiction.
I don't really have much to say today, but as for our area, it's going. We do have prepared people that we are finding and we are continuing to see miracles each day!
Also, when I shared transfer information with you all I told you wrong! Hermana Ryan is actually a travelling Sister Training Leader. So for her last 5 weeks she is going to spend two weeks, two weeks, one week, with different sister companionships in the mission. It's something that President Mansell is doing with different leaders throughout the mission- it's exciting to say the least! So Hermana Ryan leaves tonight with President and Sister Mansell to go somewhere! President Mansell hasn't decided... haha
One of the miracles was the power hour we did last Monday evening. We had a lesson set-up in the home of our branch president and his family (the Buckner's), but it ended up cancelling so we went over anyways and shared a spiritual thought, asked them to pray for us and went out finding/tracting using family history as a foot-in-the-door approach. It worked miracles! 
The first home we stopped at we talked to the kids out front and asked if their parents were home that we could talk to. They went and got their mom, Liz, and we had an excellent discussion with her and family history relating to being able to know where we came from and how we can use this and the gospel to teach others! We got a return appointment with her and learned that our branch president's kids always play with her kids! (This lesson fell through, but Liz said that she would like to wait until her husband is home to meet with us with him!)
The next home was a "random" home that had cars outside that we decided to knock at. Finally on the 3rd knock a lady came to the door, seemingly uninterested, who explained that they had been out back. We started talking about family history and she still wasn't super interested in it but her mom LOVES family history so she sent her the link to family history from the card. We continued talking with her and something changed. We brought in the gospel of Jesus Christ more and she started opening up. She shared with us her struggles of the past year and accepted a return appointment. Hermana St. Clair and Sister
Bueno Vista! My home stake is BuenA Vista!
Wow, look at that! That's cool!
Buckner visited them and had an incredible appointment on Thursday. Fun background miracle- right before we left the Buckner's, we asked if there is anyone they could think of that we could go try, and they were like "Um... Lincoln's (their 5 year old) soccer coach lives down the street that way, but we don't know which house is his. It's on the left side after the intersection but we don't know exactly which one." "Do you all remember his name?" "Coach?" Haha okay.... Well, when Sister Buckner went to the appointment, guess who opened the door? Coach's son, Tanner, Lincoln's teammate! Mark and Ashlee, were very much interested in the gospel. The first appointment went almost perfect with them, they are excited to read the Book of Mormon and learn the truthfulness for themselves! They didn't come to church Sunday, but we will be meeting with them again Thursday!
Then as we were heading back to the Buckner's after an hour, with 10 minutes to get back home by 9, a man calls out to us "what are you all preaching?", so we quickly turn back around and start talking with him as well! Bennie was super interested in what we had to say and gladly accepted a Book of Mormon! He's in the Elders in Lawton's area, so we will pass him on to them and it will be great!
So, miracles happen and people are being prepared all around us! The Lord's work is surely hastening! I love you all and hope you week is wonderful! Chao!
Con amor,
Hermana Nachelle Sharon Hunt (:

Society at its Finest

*Ding* the classic iPhone text message default tone “note” goes off, and just like that our hand reaches out, picks up our phone and before we know it we are once again controlled. We have been conditioned by our technological devices to respond when they want us to respond rather than when we want to respond. We are becoming a society that behaves just like Pavlov’s dogs who were trained to salivate when the bell sounds rather than when they actually saw the food- or the good stuff. We are losing our ability to reason and act for ourselves, as we allow the world to train us to automate our actions, our opinions, and even our very morals and beliefs. Before I go on, I must say that I do in fact use social media and I love my smart phone! However, I’ve recently begun seeing the flaws of them and I want to point out some of the pitfalls that we can easily be trapped by through their usage. I’m not promoting the absolute abandonment of either technology or social media, rather I’m pr...

A Blessed Week! Novermber 29, 2016

Hi you all! Hermana Tucker is awesome! We are seeing SO many miracles together and it is so nice being able to work so much in our area together! I love it!  So this past Sunday I was just having one of those days that I thought might lead to another round of just really hard days and I was worried. I didn't want that to happen yet again. After a long day of meetings and church and just feeling down on myself because of errors that I had made this past week, my Spanish was doing awful and I was struggling to understand, and then realizing that my self confidence was in the pits too, so I finally opened up to Hermana Tucker who had already noticed I was struggling and she had already let me play piano after church for a moment to de-stress even though she was probably starving for lunch. And guess what? After I had opened up to Hermana Tucker and explained what I was struggling with, everything else went well! I began feeling so much better and that evening I realized that alth...

Bringing in December with Christmas Miracles! December 6, 2016

Before anything else, the lovely Hermana Tucker and I are making Christmas cards today! I would LOVE to send one to all of you! Could you send me your address this week please? And I will send one next Tuesday when we email! (We have interviews with President Mansell on Monday, so we might be needing to move preparation day to Tuesday again!) So... I'm pretty much just forwarding my letter from President Mansell for this week... and adding maybe a few extra things... Maybe. haha This week has been splendid! So we are finding a lot of people to teach! (<-MIRACLES!) for the English missionaries!! It's great- I'm only a little sad because they are super awesome children of God and I don't get to see their testimonies grow, but the main point is that this is the same great work done through the Spirit no matter what missionaries are involved! However, with the amount of referrals that we gave out, we were even more blessed Sunday as we went to the 2nd ward with a ne...
