"Sister Slade. That would be a cool brand name."

(Sister Slade)

This week we had an amazing miracle! We were trying to find a less active member but didn't have their exact address. So we knocked on some doors and met Beverly and Brian. They're an older couple, both of which are frail and sickly. They invited us in and we felt prompted to sing a hymn to them, specifically the third verse of Nearer, my God, to thee, which says "angels to beckon me, steps unto heaven." It was a really cool experience and they invited us to come back next week to share a message!

We had a lesson with Jessica this week that went really well. We planned to teach about the Plan of Salvation, but it ended up being a lesson on the Savior's Atonement and it was exactly what she needed. Afterwards it occurred to me that the Plan of Salvation really is the Savior. All aspects of the Plan point back to Him.

Unfortunately, I was sick for a lot of the week and we weren't able to do much else. We did help some members paint their house and we had lessons with Jerry and Nancy this week, but I couldn't do much else. It snowed a little on Saturday (less than half an inch) and Bentonville shut down. They even canceled church on Sunday because no one knows how to drive in "bad" weather. I thought it was a little ridiculous.

The title of my email comes from a guy we talked to. We introduced ourselves and he said that my name would be a cool band name. Then I told him about the "you slade it" joke. He thought it was hilarious. He said Sister Boyack's name sounded like some exotic cuisine.

I love you!
Sister Slade

We didn't take any pictures this week unfortunately.  :(
