What has even happened this week haha I feel like each week just gets busier and busier! There are so many things that sister edwards and I want to accomplish in bridgewater but we just need to trust in the lord's timing.
Last wednesday was the halloween party for the youth, it was lots of fun and a lot of the youth brought friends who weren't members:) we are a little anxious for mary and vienna, they haven't messaged us back for a while so we are trying not to freak out. We met some amazing people this weed. sunday night we met reita, she is probably in her 50s and she just recently had her mom pass away. While we were talking with her sister edward's commented on her necklace which she said was from her mom and from there that's how we learned about her mom and we had an awesome conversation about the plan of salvation. She has a belief in god but she is open to reading the book of mormon:) tonight we are going over to bring one to her! Then last night we met sharon. She let us right into her home and it wasn't too long after that we were hugging and had tears in our eyes. in the spring she and her husband moved her and bought a house that they have been renovating together. She grew up in nova scotia and I has always been her and her husbands dream to move back here. Last month, the day after they finished painting the final wall in their home, her husband had a very unexpected stroke and a few days later she had to choose to take him off life support. She has no family here and doesn't know her neighbors well and so for the past month she has just been alone in a house, where everything reminds her of him, trying to figure out what to do. My heart just aches so much for her. She believes that after this life our spirit still lives and we were so happy to tell her that yes that is true and not only that but we will be joined back together with our bodies one day and we will be with our loved ones and family. She was very excited to read the plan of salvation pamphlet that we left with her. Life is so much more sweet when we know that there is hope and I am so so grateful that I get to spread that hope everyday:)
love sister wood
