HERMANAS Y HERMANOS!
sister christison got transfered again! a big shocker i know.... its not like it hasnt happened 5 other times already! :) anyhoo, i am now in the beautiful town of fairport new york, where the biggest deal is the erie canal!
:)

it seems like just yesterday, i was commenting on how the trees were finally getting green... well, they arent green anymore! they are changing to beautiful reds, yellows, and oranges... some of them are already falling off! CRAZY HUH?!?!

well, i want to tell y'all a story. its about a woman i have met already here in fairport. her name is beth ann. she is going through a very nasty divorce, she has an eleven year old son who LOVES football, she has to sell her house, she doesn't have a job... doesn't sound too good huh? well, we went over to her home yesterday and you know what she said? "i've had a hard past couple of years, with the divorce and everything, but you know what? these past couple of months i've felt okay." why do you think she has felt okay? well, a couple of months ago is when my companion sister jensen and her old companion sister smoot started teaching her. "i have faith now," she said, "and that has made all the difference".

WOW! my knowledge that god is there, he is aware of all of our needs and he fulfills them has grown so much in being able to meet with beth ann. She may have thought she needed something else, but heavenly father knew she needed faith. she needed to know that he was there and that he loved her!

i am truly grateful for the chance i have to share these experiences with the people of new york (and then share them with y'all!).

"for with god, nothing shall be impossible" luke 1:37.

if beth ann can have faith inspite of her
trials, can we?
