Called to Serve in Utica

Dear family and friends,

This week has been pretty great! My testimony has been strengthened of asking in faith and receiving. We have been praying to find new people to teach and we got some!

We went to Brother and Sister Perkin's how on Tuesday to talk to sister Perkins about the family history fireside we are planning, and brother Perkin's aid, Trish, was there at the house, and when we started talking about family history she seemed really interested. So while Sister Mathews planned with sister Perkins, Brother Perkins and I answered Trish's questions. Later that night we got a call from brother Perkins, he said that Trish wanted to meet with us and learn more!! We meet with her tomorrow :D

That night we went home and started cleaning out the area book, and made calls to old potentials and investigators. One man named, Barry, is really wanting to meet with us. He said that he has toured the Salt Lake temple square a billion times, and really wants to come to one of our church meetings. He couldn't make it this Sunday because he travels a lot, but maybe next :)

Early the next morning we got a call from brother Perish who told us that there is a woman named Ninna who really wants to meet with us too!

Then we met this woman at the soup kitchen who needed help painting her house, so we helped her. She is really sweet and very curious about our religion, I think she would be a great member! Crazy how when you ask in faith the Lord blesses you so much!

Let me just tell you how much the members of the branch help! Every member truly is a missionary! I encourage you at home to look for missionary opportunities, be an example to someone, then share your testimony with them or answer their questions. Invite missionaries over to eat and give them referrals or invite a non-member to the dinner. We need the members help!!! Each one of you!! PLEAS HELP YOU MISSIONARIES! You will be blessed so much.

I know that this gospel is true, and that it blesses peoples lives. Keep putting your trust in the Lord and he will guide you by the hand. I love you all!
