Hello! I'm writing a bit later today because we had a
sisters conference in St. John's for the sisters in the mountains this morning,
which was really good! We'll take some time tomorrow to get the rest of our
P-day things done, we just need to do everything that's in town today so we
don't have to use the miles tomorrow!
Best news: Anne Marie passed her baptism interview! I was a
little worried, wondering if she was ready to make this commitment and really
understanding it all, but she seems to be doing great. I'm excited to be
here for her baptism on the 25th! She has really let the Gospel of Jesus Christ
influence and change her life for the better. I love seeing the result of the
Lord's work!
We met some other people in our wards, less actives and
such, who I am excited to work with! But, we got a leak of transfer news-
Sister Krutsch is the only one who is going to stay in this area come October
28th. I was pretty bummed about the news- I really thought this would be my
last area! But I guess the Lord has one more place in mind for me. I asked
President today what my chances are of staying the mountains (after all, Mom,
you just send me all my cold weather clothes!!) and he said it's a 50-50 chance
right now. So, I know I'll be leaving, but I don't know where I'm going. But I
am so thankful for the chance I have had to serve in this area and meet so many
new people! My companions have helped me so much, and I am so thankful for them
as well :)
Wait, I just thought of the other Best News: A woman named
Colleen saw the elders in walmart last monday, went up to them and said,
"I want to be a member of your church!" So, these great elders got
her information and sent it in, and we got the referral the same day. We
contacted Colleen on Tuesday, and she is really lonely and want's to belong to
a church that will love her and that she can get involved in. She has a long
way to go, along with a slew of medical problems (and other problems too, of
course), but she seems genuine and we already have such a love for her! We
visited her last night, and just testifying of God's love for us brought the
Spirit into her home. I'm thankful for everyone who has helped her in little
ways to be led to some people who can help her find some direction in life.
I am so thankful for this gospel and this church! I love my
Savior, and know that I am able to do everything I do because of Him. But,
here's a shout out to you as well! I love you all!!
Love, Sister Hailey Brown
