Back To Northern Maine

I am officially the farthest Northeast I have ever been in my life! I am so glad to be back in Northern Maine, I missed those lovely accents!:)

This week has been absolutely crazy..but wonderful! Our drive up was long, about 4 hours. Since neither my companion or I had ever set foot in this area, we got some phone numbers from the elders and called tons of people. We mostly were calling for help to move all the things in our apartment to a new one, per President Blair's instruction. So we not only had to learn a new area, but we had to go through an apartment that missionaries had lived in for years and then bring it to new place! Missionaries accumulate a TON of stuff. That was a fun adventure. Luckily I have a fun, fantastic companion that makes things fun!

Since we have no prior knowledge, we have really relied on the Lord . The promise in Proverbs is so real. The one that goes:

 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6)

We really tested that promise this week, and we saw many miracles. My knees have calluses from all the praying I have been doing with my companion. We have seen miracles in the form of texts from random people asking when we can stop by, members offering to drive us to far out areas, and small daily goals being fulfilled in small ways. The Lord truly is aware of our needs ! And if He is aware of some silly sisters in Maine, He is sure aware of you!

The coolest miracles was when we asked the Lord to help us find someone to teach at a specific time, 3pm. We set a goal to teach a lesson on Sunday and everyone fell through. We prayed for direction, and after 30 minutes of calling people, we found someone! And guess what time they wanted to meet....3pm! We had to immediately say a thank you prayer for Heavenly Father's awesomeness!

I hope you all have a fantastic week!
