Mas adventuras con m companero

Can I just say that fall weather is the best? It's been a treat to have slightly cool, sweater-weather days and see the leaves changing all around us. As soon as Sister Johnson and I get ahold of some rakes Rosepark will be leaf free before you can say "Oh no sister, we can get the elders to do it!" Girls like to serve too! I repeat, anyone who has sister missionaries serving where you live, give them service opportunities! Okay tangent over. We've had another great week full of scripture study joy, lots of speaking in church, and teaching a lot. we also met a lot more africans, some that we will start working with soon. Yay for Africa!! And African baby showers! That's a story for another day. There is a lot of work to do here and the Ward mission leaders, Bishops and members are amazing. I invite everyone to read Elder Bednar's recent address in conference (see link below) and figure out how you can apply that in your life. Godelive and her 2 daughters Emerance and Confiance came to church yesterday- sadly the other daughter was sick and the two boys weren't there, but I think despite not understanding 99% of what was said they seemed to enjoy it! Godelive is so patient. I think my heart just expands more and more with everyone new person we start teaching. We taught the restoartion to a 12 year old while he was waiting for his mom to come home the other day and I was reminded of why Christ tells us to be like little children. They are so pure and honest, unmarred by the doubt and darkness of the world. The wonderful thing is that as we live the gospel of Jesus Christ, the world doesn't have power to leave its mark on us. Just like it says in Helaman 5:12 (probably the most quoted scripture in conference ever) The devil will have no power over us if we make christ our rock and foundation. He lives, and because He lives, we can follow his ways, be like Him and "lift the hands that hopelessly hang down." 

Sorry for the short entry this week! I'll send pictures next week:) 

Love,

Sister Pearson
