It has rained SOOO much this week!!! It has been amazing!! When it rains here it dumps. There was one day that it was raining really hard for a good 2 or 3 hours. So many houses have flooded. We've gone to a couple apartments where people say that we can't come back soon because their apartment is torn apart to dry.
We had stake conference this weekend and it was really great. The adult session was centered on temples and it was really amazing. Although now I really want to go to the Salt Lake Temple again. But I am glad to be here and excited to find out when I get to go on a temple trip here. I have really come to appreciate the examples of regularly attending the temples, especially my dad. His dedication to being at the temple 14 hours every Saturday has helped me to grow a deeper love for temple work.
So one of our investigators, Melanie (came to church last week) had a great lesson this week and it was amazing but then she asked us to stop coming over text and it's really sad to think that she doesn't have the desire to have this amazing blessing in her life. But we are meeting with a new family now! well, sort of new. We had met with the twin daughters in the family a couple times befoer but we were able to meet the parents Sunday night and it was such a powerful lesson. Their whole family ended up in tears, the spirit was so strong.
This week we had zone conference and new missionary training, which were both amazingly uplifting. I learned so much from President Welch. It was also a lot of fun to see Sister Winterton who I was in the MTC with.
We met with a few new members/recently returned members and it was really amazing to hear what some of them went through to be able to find the truth of this Gospel. We also were able to mow one lady's lawn and she is just the funniest old lady ever. Every time we end a prayer she has this little "amen" song and dance that she does that is just adorable!
Other than that not much has happened this week because we had the two meetings which took up most of the day on Tuesday and Wednesday. But we are ready to start a new week and are prepared to share the Gospel with everyone we meet!!!
Lots of love,
Sister Fox
