Sis Hunting's Letter for the week of Sept 9th!

It's been another crazy week in Lake Placid!  Most of this week was spent trying potentials, and we didn't find like any!  Either the houses disappeared, our GPS is dumb, or we need to update the area book haha.  We did have an awesome experience with this woman named Ember.  We met her at the soup kitchen a few weeks ago, and helped her paint her house.  She had asked about our church and what makes it different and I totally saw an opportunity to share the Book of Mormon with her but I was wimp and didn't do it, and I beat myself up about it a lot, and I prayed and told Heavenly Father that if He gave me another chance to share it with her that I would do it.  The Lord gave me that chance Saturday night!  She had us over for dinner at her house, and she asked about what made our church different from other Christian churches and I got super excited and told her about the Book of Mormon, and then she asked, "well where does the Book of Mormon come from?"  And I got even more excited and explained The Restoration to her in like a minute haha, and I left her with a Book of Mormon, it was awesome!  She is awesome, she is really sweet, and she has the cutest little girl, and baby boy.  I'm glad we got to have dinner with her and her family and got to know them.

This week I got to do 2 of my favorite things!  First we have been trying to get our investigator Cynthia to come to church, she has come for activities at the church , but won't come on sundays.  So we were praying about it, and then I remembered that she loves to play the piano, and I love to sing!  So we decided to ask her to accompany me in church on the piano, and she got kind of excited about it.  She pulled out some of her music books, and a lot of the songs in it were ones I knew and she played them and I sang them right then and there, it was SO fun!  I love singing with a piano, it's like THE BEST!

On Saturday we went over to help the Whites paint their porch and I saw a violin case!  There little girl plays the violin!  So I whipped it out and started playing hymns out of the hymn book, I didn't realize how much I love playing the violin until that moment.  It was a very small violin so it was hard to play but it was so fun and I didn't want to put it down.

We also got hit on by a drunk man yesterday and that was funny.  We were trying to find a potential and the GPS led us to this beautiful lake, and so we decided to stop and take some pictures, and this woman down by edge of the lake told us to come take some from down there, so we did!  The woman was there with this guy and he was so drunk and she had a glass of wine, but she was really sweet.  Randomly the guy was like, "can I get a picture with these 2 beautiful ladies."  So the woman got out her camera and he put his arms around our shoulders and took a picture with us haha super random!  But the woman could become an investigator you never know :)

Anyways, I am loving the work, and learning a lot.  Lake Placid is BEAUTIFUL! 

-Love, Sister Hunting
