On the Maine Land

Wow this week has been absolutely insane! Mix snow, a 6 hour drive and
wonderful Mainer accents and it makes a good week!:)

The whole mission got hit pretty good with snow. And can you guess
what day it decided to show up? Tuesday. Day of transfer meeting. So
after driving 3.5 hours from Vermont, I found out I would have to
drive about 6 hours to my new area. It was a long  day, and the snow
certainly made things even more interesting! But my great week made up
for the crazy.

I came to Farmington not quite sure what to expect. But I am happy to
report that I love it! There are some amazing members and
investigators here! Bill and Jill are two investigators that I am so
impressed with! They both are very intel
studying out of curiosity, but soon felt the spirit. They have a date
for baptism in March, and I am so excited to help them get there.

One cool thing I learned about Mainers is that they all have a great
sense of humor. They are cheerful people, although many of them have
had hard lives. They definitely press forward through the hard times
and I admire them greatly for it. I am just so excited to meet more
wonderful people, and spread the gospel even more.

I'll leave you with a great quote I found. " Love is the measure of
our faith, the inspiration for our obedience, and the true altitude of
our discipleship" President Ucthdorf.
Love is the basis of the gospel of Christ. We serve others because we
love them, and we follow Christ because we love Him. Love is
everything, and because Christ loves us with a perfect love, we can be
saved from all trials and sadness in life. So remember to live with
love in your heart. If love is not the motivation behind everything we
do, life can be so much harder than it needs to be. And I sure love
you all!!

Hope you have a great week!
