So Po


I am loving it here in South Portland(So Po)!

I can see the ocean from my apartment. Huge change! But is is so beautiful here!

My first week here has been pretty exciting! This area is different than any other I have served in thus far. It is definitely a city, and there are a lot of people! Another thing is that the ward and the community is so diverse! There are a lot of refugees living in Portland, so we see people from all over the world. In our congregation, many are from Africa who speak french. So we have a set of French speaking elders that translate the whole service into their native tongue! It is amazing to see how a belief in Christ can bring people that are so different together in love and happiness. 

My new companion, Sister Draper, and I have been working really hard. We teach very well together! We clicked immediately and things are going pretty great. We have been spending a lot of time trying to help me get to know all the members here. There are some very strong members that are very inspiring in their diligence and desire to serve God. 

On Sunday I bore my testimony as the new missionary in the ward and I shared the words of a children's hymn:
"I feel my Saviors love, in all the world around me, His spirit warms my soul, in everything I see.
He knows I will follow Him, give all my life to Him. I feel my Saviors love, the love He freely gives me"

I am so grateful for our Savior. I have seen His love this week as I have served His children. There is so happier feeling in the world than serving our brothers and sisters. 

Have a great week!
Sister Lescarbeau
