We saw some wicked sweet miracles this week. Man. I don't know how or why all this good stuff is happening!! Carolina and her family are continuing to learn about the gospel! I can't believe we are teaching a family! I HOPE AND PRAY that she has spiritual experiences that will give this gospel a place in her heart. All we can do is pray, teach, and testify. The Lord is the master of the vineyard. He controls this mission. He knows Carolina and her family and what will help them. It's amazing that He can do it through us missionaries. If she gets baptized, that's the first person to live in Hanover and be baptized in around two decades (not counting students).

I see why we must be separate from the world. We have to be united with Him, "at one" through Christ.

NEW INVESTIGATOR, ROB!!!! I know I say this with everyone... but I really mean it. I could see him being baptized soon. He drinks a LOT of coffee, but anything is possible with the Lord on our side! He told us he liked talking with us, I asked him why, he said he felt warm. That is how he feels the spirit, and he knows it! I just want people to feel that connection with Heavenly Father, because He'll do the real work. I trust that He is doing it with Rob. He was SO into church and the talks. He told us he felt a warm feeling! That's the spirit. Crazy how the talk in sacrament meeting was exactly what we shared with him the first lesson we taught him (Alma 7:11-13, Alma's conversion in Alma 36). He's totally on the ball and ready to roll into the font!! 

We could all have OUR FIRST BAPTISMS.

MISSION BIRTHDAYS ARE THE BOMB!!!!

I woke up to a heart attacked apartment from my wonderful companions. They gave my Lindt hot chocolate (my new favorite). They know me.

We went out to lunch downtown White River Junction (wanna-be liberal artsy hipster town). 

We then went to the Balch farm and helped pick pumpkins and organize everything there! It was a beautiful fall day!! Chris and Bruce surprised me with a birthday CAKE!!! I LOVE THEM!!

After the farm we went straight to a members home and pressed apple cider! These people know how to do fall. They made their own apple press by taking a garbage disposal, pitting the apples into that, having them come out into a bucket, then putting them into the press with the juice flowing into the gallon containers. Freshest apple cider I have ever had in my life, most delicious drink ever! It was so cool! 

We went over to the Jarrett's (they had Carolina and family over for dinner who are now our investigators) for the rest of the night and they celebrated my birthday!

HOW SWEET ARE THEY!?!?! 

People have the largest hearts! I am SO GRATEFUL!!!!
