New York Utica Mission: Beauty Everywhere

This week was full of rain and fun!

We went to Watkins Glen with some members in the ward last p-day and it was so much fun!! After we were there for a little bit it started to rain so hard! We took advantage and jumped in puddles and danced in it!

Tuesday we had exchanges with the Ithaca sisters and that was a lot of fun. They are both so awesome. We had a really busy day with lessons then Wednesday we found two new investigators!

Thursday we taught the cutest investigator ever, she's a super sweet Chinese lady and when we first met her she had us write down what our birthdays were and our Facebook names so we could be friends forever. :)) When we went over to teach her she had birthday presents for both of us!! (Sister Graver's b-day is in a few weeks and mine in a couple months) It was so sweet! She gave me a cute little bag with an adorable bracelet and a flower headband!

Friday we had another exchange with the Vestal sisters which was a lot of fun too! The sisters in our zone- and mission-are amazing! I kept calling Sister Tuckett a good luck charm because we picked up an investigator and had some really good conversations with people that have been hard to contact in the past.

Sunday we met an awesome less active/recent convert that just moved here from living with his cousin in Utah and it was such a good lesson! He looks super intimidating--gauges, tattoos, army boots, really tall and strong, etc. but he's the nicest guy ever! and he has a KITTEN!! Next time I'll try to get a picture with it, its so cute!! Only 3 weeks old. :))

That night we went with our investigator to a party for the two elders who just came home this week and with one of the RM's, a recent convert, and our investigator we had a lesson! It was a pretty noisy lesson environment but it all worked out.

Hope you all have a fun week!!

Love,
Sister Horne
