Hot, Humid, and Humbled

The temperature was quite high! After living in New England for 11 months (as of yesterday), I am so used to the crazy winters that anything above 87 is sweltering. Oh, well! At least I can sympathize with all the Mainers that are angry with the weather!:)

We had such a great week!  The many miracles we have seen have shown me the goodness of the Lord. 

We have been searing for a newly moved in person the whole time I have been here and we finally found him! He was recently baptized and just had difficulty finding the chapel here. We also met his wife, Nancy. She decided that she would really like to learn more about the church! She said that she would pray and read about the things we talked about. I am way excited to see where that will go. 

We finally had a lesson with our Portuguese investigators(with a translator from the ward). Nicholau is really interested in why we value the Book of Mormon as much as the bible, so it has been great to testify of how they have both blessed my life. The scriptures are so powerful! We have been sending him texts with great verses and we hope that will help him be more familiar with it all. The lesson was really good, despite some weird misunderstanding in the translations. 

Sister Draper and I have been teaching lots of people about having a great change of heart. We have shared this scripture in Alma 5 to illustrate: " Behold he changed their hearts, yea, he awakened them out of a deep sleep, and they awoke unto God. Behold, they were in the midst of darkness: nevertheless their souls were illuminated by the light of the everlasting word" 

Think about a time when you have felt that. Wouldn't you love to be in that place again. We can have those experiences over and over again if we are diligent in seeking to follow Christ. When we want to be better, He will illuminate our live with His love and support. I know this because he has helped me become so much better. My life is the happiest it has ever been because of Him!

Have a great week guys!!!!

Here are some cool pictures of the Marsh Land in Scarborough! Some of the biggest marsh in the country!

Wicked Busy!

Had a crazy busy day, so  no time to say anything! But here are some pictures!

As Clean as Earth Right After Rain

Hate to say it guys but...

When it rains it pours!!! We had three days of non stop rain! And I am serious! I went to bed Sat and it was raining, and when I woke up Sunday it was still raining! 

And if you are wondering, of course my companion and I walked many miles in the rain. Would we be real missionaries if we didn't? 

This week was pretty eventful! We met President and Sister Blair, our new mission president and his wife! They are amazing people! They love to serve others and they have a great sense of humor. I am excited to get to know them more and serve with them. 

This week was a harder week the adversary was definitely trying to stop us this week. But Nothing can stop the work of Jesus Christ! We saw some awesome tender mercies, including when we visited our investigator LuAnn. She has been growing so much spiritually and has started saying very meaningful prayer. I am excited to see her progress more. 

We did some gardening with a less active member that has had a hard time accepting some things we teach. We have been seeing her for a while now and this week she allowed us to pray with her and talk more about the gospel. Small, but awesome miracle. 

Remember how much our Savior love you all. As Elder Holland, a member of the quorum of the twelve apostles said so wonderfully: " the first great commandment of all eternity is to love God with all our heart, might ,mind ,and strength...but the first great truth of all eternity is that God loves us with all his heart, might mind , and strength. " 

What can you do this week to show your love for Him? 

Love you all!! 

Enjoy some silly pictures!
