Fall in NC!



I love the Autumn Leaves!

This week did not go as planned. haha

 

Last Monday Sister Richardson and I ended up spending all day in Siler City (About 20 minutes from here, but still in our area) because the Elder's tire popped on them, so we got to help them out a bit. That night we helped a recent convert unpack some boxes that have been sitting in her house for a while and it worked out perfectly because the next day we went to see a less-active family who is moving soon and needed boxes. The Lord always provides a way! haha

 

Later on Tuesday we had another lesson with Michelle and Irene. It was such a good lesson / Bible Study! We talked about the Plan of Salvation and they both seemed to accept it really well! Michelle also came to church this week and she loved it!

 

Sadly Christina canceled on us twice this week so we didn't get to see her. It is so hard when people have things come up and they are busy all the time! And it is also hard to see people who have come so close to the spirit and see how HARD Satan works on them. Satan is REAL! He is out there to get us all to turn away from our Savior and it is so easy to let him sneak into our lives! I think that is one of the main reasons I love the scriptures so much is because it gives me that help and focus for each day.

Halloween was a day of planning, and then we had dinner at a member's home. Right before we got there the power went off in the house. This is the second time that has happened to me on my mission. Luckily she was done with the food by the time the power turned off and we just opened all the blinds and it was fine.

On Friday the Lassiters canceled on us because they were out of town. Again, it is so hard to see people who have a great lesson with us and then they suddenly get very busy and Satan works so hard on them! Hopefully we will meet with them this next week as well.

I really love all the people here in North Carolina! It is so different from home and I just really love it! Have a great week! And thank you so much for all your emails and helping me to feel the spirit more today. You are all amazing examples to me! I love you so much!

Love,
