Dear family and Friends,
The leaves have changed colors here and it is SO beautiful! I thought Utah falls were pretty but man oh man it is GORGEOUS here. We got to have lunch in Keene this week with the Mitchell's, what amazing people! If every member of the church were like them we would have enough referrals to last us a lifetime! They are awesome and so sweet. They eagerly gave us names of people they had either given Books of Mormon to, or pass-along cards to and then after Sister Mathews offered us a closing prayer sister Mitchell asked if she could say a prayer. She gave the sweetest prayer I have ever heard and it brought tears to my eyes. She blessed that the people we were going to see would receive us well and blessed that we would be able to find our destinations easily (which is something we have been struggling with, half the addresses we have don't exist!) and it was just so sweet.
We got to teach Liz this week as well, and she is doing awesome! She is excited for her baptism this week and is doing awesome in her scripture studies, we are so proud of her. She is an amazing example to us. We also got to teach 2 new investigators in Tupper this week. One is an older man named Lawrence, he is so funny! While sister Mathews was saying the closing prayer he yelled at someone who was looking in his window, "get outta here!" and kept telling people that would stop by, "Get outta here, I have company!" He is a character.
Then we saw Liz W. an older woman who just overcame breast cancer, she is so awesome! She said she would read the whole Book of Mormon before we come next week, and luckily that morning we had packed a giant one in our trunk for her to be able to read.
And of course we got to see the relief society broadcast, which was awesome! And exciting changes are coming to Lake Placid :) Elders are coming next transfer! They will be putting the Elders in Saranac lake and they will cover that area and Tupper lake, then the sisters (hopefully us) will have enough miles to go to Jay, Keene, and Wilmington to gather the saints! haha it's like we are opening a new area, well that is if we both stay next transfer, but I am still very excited for the Lake Placid branch, this will be great for it and it will grow a lot!
Also it was sister Mathews birthday this week and her old boss sent her a box of freshly picked Idaho potatoes, funniest thing ever! That's what you get when you have a companion from Idaho haha!
The work is amazing and this gospel is true. I watched a Mormon message this week that really touched me and I feel impressed to share with you, it's called "None were with Him." I know that the Savior suffered for all of us so that none of us would ever have to be alone. You never have to walk the journey of this life alone, the Savior is always there, walking beside you. Turn to Him and put your trust in Him. I love you all, and I know these things to be true in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
