Week of September 28, 2015

What a crazy week! It is now officially fall and luckily we are no longer having 100 degree weather haha. 

We were able to meet and teach more people, so that was awesome :) On Tuesday we had dinner with the Stevens family and they invited their neighbor over to meet with us! Her name is Judy and she is so sweet. She is looking for something spiritual about God and has been reading the Book of Mormon! She came to our bible study on post and the women's broadcast :) SHE IS GOLDEN.

Another amazing opportunity we had this week was meeting Liana. She is a mom of three kids and she has scoliosis. There family moved from Chicago and they are recovering from being homeless. We helped them out with dinner for the week; they are trying to get back on their two feet. We taught Liana the Restoration and the Spirit was definitely there, so that was an incredible experience :) 

While we were at her house I almost started crying because my heart was broken at their condition. I felt an overwhelming appreciation for all the things I have had growing up and even now. We really don't know how much we are blessed until it is taken away from us. The poverty down here is very tragic and it humbles me every day to know I have been blessed with so much.

Vickie and Jess haven't committed to much yet...but they said that they would watch the Joseph Smith Restoration video (because they love movies). I know that when they watch it they feel the truth of it :) They gave us peanut butter pie the other day and it tasted so good, and the recipe is really easy! The south is no joke big on food haha. I will come back knowing how to make the most awesome foods!

The women's broadcast was so incredible! It was the first one that I have seen that really stood out to me. The spirit was so strong! I am so grateful for the outstanding Women's organization in our church. There are a lot of different and good churches down here, but none of them have the amazing organization of sisterhood! 

I am also so excited for General Conference this weekend. The opportunity to hear the Prophet and Apostles speak is a blessing to all of us. I hope that yall have the chance to watch it, and invite others to watch it as well :) IT IS GOING TO BE SO GREAT.

Have a blessed week and I appreciate the uplifting messages yall are sending me!

Love,

Sister Cornia
