PORTLAND MAINE.
One of the biggest cities in the mission. It is right on the coast and home to beautiful lighthouses. It will be an awesome adventure!
My last week in Farmington was great.It was kind of slow, but not too bad. Summer is just a busy time for people. We saw some great success with our investigators and other this week!
We were able to see Ellen more frequently. We saw her 4 times this week. We committed her to come to church one last time, and she came!! It was incredible! The lessons have been going really well, and she really seems to be grasping everything. Each time we go I see her testimony grow a little more, and her light shines a little brighter. We set a date with her for July 30th, and we are hoping she will do all she can to be baptized then.
We had a great lesson with Sister Donaghy this week. She is hilarious. She told me that her daughter had a dream that I was milking a cow in a wedding dress....so now she said that my wedding invitations in the future better look like that. Anyways we had a great lesson about remembering the times we have felt the spirit very strong, and striving to get back to that.

The Silvers are doing well. They came to church again this week and we had dinner with them after. They are so much happier now that they are living the gospel and striving to better follow Christ. Their home was more peaceful and everyone was joyful and respectful! I am excited for them!
There is a quote I have been thinking about a lot lately
"You can have what you want, or you can have something better"
Heavenly Father has such wonderful things is store for us. It is difficult sometimes to give up our own will, desires, and choices to follow Him and Jesus Christ. It is always worth it. In 1 Corinthians 2:9 it says: " Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."
The people here exemplify this. they have so many excuses they could use for not following Chris, but they follow Him regardless. they know His plan is better. I know that Christ wants the best for us. he lives so we can find joy.I love Christ and His gospel, and I know He loves us all.
Love you all much!!
