hello again!!
life is fine and dandy here in georgia!! i love being here as the leaves are changing. it is beautiful! i am afraid to come back after my mission, this place could easily be called home. it is so quaint and cute! & the people here are true southerners. I LOVE THEM, even though most of them don't have teeth and can't seem to find their belts or their shirts.. :-) gotta love beer bellies! NOT.
a tender mercy i saw this week was seeing our investigator who is on date to be baptized FINALLY make it to church. she has had a lot of health problems that have kept her from coming. my companion and i fasted and prayed all week that she would make it. we knew that we had done everything in our power to make that happen & it was all in Heavenly Father's hands at that point. OH WHAT JOY WE HAD WHEN WE SAW HER BEAUTIFUL FACE THERE!!! everyone loved her!! ahh. miracles guys, miracles.
there are no words to describe the people here. as one of the sisters in my apartment would say.. "they walk to the beat of their own drum." SO TRUE. so much personality in some of these people. one of them is in our ward, & get this.. SHE HAS A PER POSSUM. WHAT?!?! WHAT?!?! she does. it is true. & i got to see it and pet it and i just laughed the whole time because who has a pet possum? lets be real here, no one. BUT SHE DOES AND I AM SPEECHLESS.
onto the exciting news.. ELDER HOLLAND IS COMING TO MY MISSION!! HE IS AND THIS LIFE IS REAL AND I AM WITHOUT WORDS. god is good y'all. we just found out today & all of us sisters did a silent screaming/jumping/crying session in the library. we are fools. BUT YAYAY!!! is it bad to have favorite apostles? he is my favorite. don't tell anyone i have a favorite.
life is so good!! i have a huge testimony of this gospel. i know that the power of the atonement can transform lives and bring peace to each of us in such a dark world. heavenly father loves you, he is never too far away, even when you may feel like he is.
i love you all so much! thank you for all of your words of encouragement!!
have a great week!!
love,
sister bell.
