Oh my goodness can you
believe that it's March already?! Time goes by way too fast! But yay
only one more month until General Conference! And yay winter's almost
over! We haven't gotten snow for a while now and it's starting to warm
up, which makes me super happy!
Well,
not a whole lot of excited stuff happened this week. Wednesday to
Thursday we had exchanges! I went to Canterbury, NH for the day with
Sis. Boyce and it was such a good exchange! We tracted on dirt roads!
It's been so long since I've done that! There was one lady who let us in
and we got to teach her the Restoration! It was super cool and the
spirit was so strong!

On
Friday we got to do service at New Horizons again and that was a lot of
fun! Then Friday evening we had a ward activity and it was a lot of
fun! It was Manchester and Bedford wards and we had hot chocolate and
treats and games!

Saturday
evening we got to go to a baptism for the Bedford ward. The sister that
got baptized is named Sherry and she's been investigating the church
for like 8 years or something! And her younger sister and her family
(the Reischer's) are in the Manchester ward. It was so cool to see Sis.
Reishcer and Sherry sit next to each other at the baptism! They both
looked so happy! And oh my goodness the spirit was so strong there! I
love baptisms!
Yesterday
we saw one of our investigator families and we read 3 Nephi 11 with
them. 3 Nephi 11 is super awesome because it's the beginning of Christ's
ministry to the Nephites after his resurrection. At the end of the
chapter Christ is telling them his doctrine, which is simply have faith,
repent and be baptized. One of the family members made a super awesome
comment on this that I love! He said that Christ didn't ask us to not
sin, but Christ did ask us to repent. I think that is super cool! Christ
understands that we can't be perfect, but he's given us the opportunity
to learn, grow and change. Before my mission, I always thought of
repentance as this big, scary thing, but it really isn't. Repentance is
simply the power to change. Our purpose in life is to learn and to grow,
and a lot of times we make mistakes on the way. But because Heavenly
Father loves us so much, he's given us the opportunity to overcome those
mistakes and to learn from them, and that's through repentance.
Repentance is such a huge blessing!!! I love it!
Well
I think that's all the exciting stuff that happened. This week is going
to be crazy! Tomorrow we're going to be in a trio for the day, and then
Saturday we're having a mission wide conference! I'm super excited!
Elder Hallstrom from the presidency of the seventy and Bishop Causse
from the presiding bishopric are going to be there and it's going to be
awesome! And then transfer calls are this Saturday, so we'll see what
happens! Sorry this week's email is kinda short, but time's running out!
I love you all and I hope you have a wonderful week!
Love, Sister Harper
