You've been in New England to Ling When...

You get excited that it is 15 degrees outside. Yep. This week was
cold. Like it was -15 (-33 with windchill). Brrrrrrr

Other than that this week was great! I had my birthday Tuesday, and my
6 month mark Friday! The mission has made time fly by for sure! A ton
of amazing things have happened in these past 6 months, and the next
12 should be even more incredible.

This week was filled with surprises, but some great miracles. However,
I had to learn some patience because most of them happened later in
the week. It was a great example of how obedience and hard work
eventually pays off. After a long and cold week, I was just exhausted.
Then we came to church Sunday and Heavenly Father just let the
blessing rain down!

First, Shirley Braley, a sister who has started coming back to church,
told us her neighbor was interested in learning more! She got a book
of mormon form us and said that she would have us over and introduce
us to her! Then our investigator Tina, made it to church. She had a
great time, and the members were very kind and welcoming, as they
always are. Then at the end of the night, we just looked at the week
that had passed, and saw that we had taught quite a few lessons. It is
amazing to end a week knowing you did everything for the Lord. I love
it!

I know the things we teach are true. I have learned so much for
myself, and it has truly changed my life. I know what my purpose is in
life, and I know that no matter what happens in my life, Christ is
there and is just waiting for us to come closer to Him, so He can lift
us up. I know this is true with all my heart, and the Lord has been so
good.

And here is a scripture for you to ponder: James 4;6-8
"But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the
proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore
to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you"

Lotsa Love
