Happy fall!
Let me tell y'all. A Maine autumn is incredible! The trees are so
vibrant, it is crazy! I have one picture this week, but I'll send more
next time!
This week was filled with miracles! We had the opportunity to bear
testimony, do service, and just have fun every day! There are so many
people open to the gospel, it is amazing. And even if they aren't
interested right now, we can leave them with a positive feeling of the
spirit!
Our investigators are all doing very well. Especially Carol! She has
been studying about Joseph Smith lately, and she is very impressed by
his story. She wants to keep going because as she prays about the
church she keeps wanted to read more, and feels like that as she does
she will get her answer on whether or not the church is for her. The
spirit was strong with her as we talked about the love we feel through
the gospel. She said she can see the light in us! That is good to
hear!
We were able to talk to lots of people on the street and just around
town. One person in parts really seemed touched by our message. She
and her husband asked my why I joined the Mormon church. I them told
her of how the Book of Mormon answered all my questions and brought me
more peace than anything else. As we left, she looked me in the eye
and said thank you, and that I sparked something in her.
I love experiences like that! I really hope that every person I speak
with feel the spirit, and that they feel God's love for them whenever.
I'll end with a favorite story from general Conference last weekend!:
"Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel was in the hospital recovering from
open-heart surgery when he was visited by his five-year-old grandson.
As the little boy looked into his grandfather’s eyes, he saw his pain.
“Grandpa,” he asked, “if I loved you more, would you [hurt less]?”
Today I ask a similar question of each of us: “If we love the Savior
more, will we suffer less?”" -Elder Robert D Hales.
I know that as we love the Savior, His love affects everything in our
lives and makes it better. He can take away all hurt as we follow Him.
I know this is true for everyone, no matter who you are.
