Spring has finally made it to Maine and I couldn't be happier!
All our hard work is paying off, and it is an incredible blessing. I love seeing the gospel begin to take root in people's hearts. It changes them, in some way or another. And we could already see that in the people we have found this week. And we have found 5 new people to teach this week!

We taught a lot of lessons this week, and most were just basic lessons teaching about Christ's role in our lives. In the Book of Mormon it says of Christ:
And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.
And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities. - Alma 7:11-12
And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities. - Alma 7:11-12
I know that is true, because Christ has helped me many times in my life to come It was amazing to feel the spirit that came into the room as we talked to so many people about Christ this week. Everyone we talked to had different journeys that have built their faith in their Savior. Hearing their stories has strengthened my own testimony this week!
Linda and Peter were some of those amazing people we talked to this week. Linda gained a strong testimony after her father passed away years ago and she shared her testimony that she knows we have nothing to fear because of Christ, even death. She has a really strong desire to know if our church is Christ's true church, so she has already been reading the Book of Mormon with some members of our congregation! We are seeing her next week, and I am so excited!
We also got to know Kera this week, who is a member but just recently came back to church this past week. We talked with her about why she decided to turn things around. She said that she wanted to raise her family with a faith in Christ, and that she was willing to do anything to get back to a good relationship with Christ. We also had a fun time talking about anything and everything! She is becoming a great friend also!:)
All around it was a great week, lots of fun times with Sis. Hawes. She is a riot!
Here are some pictures!!
Keep on Keepin' on you wonderful people!
Lots of Love
