Valentine's Week (2/15/16 email)

This week we had an investigator come to the Addiction Recovery
Program with us, and she just loved it! She brought two copies of
everything home so she could give her sister information, so her sister
will be coming next week. Before ARP, we taught her about the
Restoration and the Priesthood. She just paused and then said, "I should
really be rebaptized." Woahhhh she's awesome! She needs to get past
addiction stuff first, but she's so ready!

We had a lesson with this cuuuuuute lady on her birthday, so we brought hats and sang happy birthday to her when she answered the door. She was so happy! Haha she is so darn cute.

WE WENT ON EXCHANGES WITH THE ASL SISTERS! What are the odds I'm an STL over ASL sisters? Very, very slim. God doesn't do random. Anyways, they serve over the Vancouver Mission, Portland Mission, and Salem Mission, so we got to go to downtown Portland when we were on exchanges. So fun!

I REALLLY like this scripture we talked about this week! It's Alma 62:41 and it's talking about the same group of people that have had similar experiences but they effected them in two different ways. They either let the trials push them away from God because they were too prideful and stubborn or they let it help them grow closer to God and improve their lives if they're humble enough. The same experience can throw us either way, depending on if we give ourselves to God's power or not. Idk if any of that made sense to anyone else, but it was pretty eye opening to me! Just read that chapter and verse and apply it to your life and you're golden. Love you, bye!
