Fall has arrived here
in Kentucky and it is gorgeous! The leaves are so colorful and make a
fantastic crunchy noise as we tract around in Hartford. To celebrate the
season, Hartford has a Harvest Festival so the morning of it, our ward
mission leader called to let us know he got a booth for us. We already
had a service project going on that day so we knew we would be in for a
busy day. Our service project was moving food storage for a member into
their new house. After a lot of squatting and lifting, we scrambled to
put a booth together. You can find pictures of our very humble booth on
Facebook. However humble it may have been, we were able to draw in some
of the elect here in Ohio County. We actually found a less active man
whose records were somewhere else in Kentucky. Many of the people who
filled out the survey actually had talked to missionaries many years
ago. It is incredible how the Lord blesses our finding efforts. The next
day was pretty chilly (as in Rexburg-chilly), nevertheless we braved
the cold along with some other individuals.
So that was our weekend happenings. We went out with some of the
sisters on their visiting teaching routes which included a lot of
driving. Despite their prettiness, I kind of loathe the hilly roads. I
don't think I could ever outdrive my motion sickness. On the plus side,
I've decided to be more creative with my morning exercises and I started
dancing to our approved and limited music library. You better bet I
have a dance for "Line Upon Line." And on the plus, plus side, I've been
called as a blogging missionary!!! Mission dream come true. I'm still
working on it, but look for the link on Facebook sometime this week!
Welp, that's pretty much my exciting news. My stress levels for
finding new investigators has been pretty high, but Heavenly Father is
placing people in our paths. Our finding efforts have had divine aid and
it is very humbling to see that this is truly the Lord's work. Lately
I've been studying on conversion and with that, I've been observing
people's level of conversion. One major indication of true conversion is
a person's gratitude. Although Thanksgiving is next month, it is always
important to give thanks to our Lord. WILL YOU thank Heavenly Father
for a trial you have had recently? As you come to the point where you
LOVE TRIALS, you will see blessings added to your life.
Sure do love you!
Love Sister Neener (:
