hi all my beautiful people!
it is officially fall here in georgia!! I LOVE IT. we just drive and take in the beauty of it all. i will definitely miss all the trees when i go home!
this week were able to do lots of service for those in the ward! here in villa rica it is the elderly community that is pretty active in the ward compared to the younger families, so we get to hang out with old people and it is the best!! i have learned so much from them and it makes me real bummed when they tell me how lonely they are and how they just wish that they were close to their family. it inspires me to always reach out to those whose families are far away & to be a light in their lives! :)
i have been thinking a lot about how dark the world is nowadays. being a missionary you get to see quite a few things that most people are blind to or don't have the opportunity to see. i have been told many life stories from others and my heart weeps for them. this world is so cruel and unfair! it is hard to sit back and see these people go through these things & not try to make it right! i have learned that i need to have faith that the atonement of jesus christ is for everyone in every situation, big or small. as i have studied the life of christ more in depth, i can bear a humble testimony that He truly is the Son of God, and it is His divinity that makes the atonement possible. i know that He knows how to truly succor each and every single one of us. He is the only one who knows how.
sorry for the kind of dreary thoughts this week, it has been something i have just been thinking about and wanted to share. so i will include a picture of me and donna's (our recent convert) little dog! his name is Little Bit and he kills me. i promise i am not strangling him in the picture. i am excited for the new month ahead of me & look forward to all of the thanksgiving celebrations that are to come! i hope you each have a great week. know that i think about all of you and pray for you daily.
listen to the song He is Born by Vocal Point, it has become one of my favorites!
love,
sister bell.
