Hello all! This was the Email I was supposed to send last week!



Turns out that we could be hit by a Hurricane named Florence. They have made us do a lot of prep like buy water and make sure our 72 hour kits are up to date. They may move us to a different location if it gets near us. Chances are it might. Me and my companions new scripture motto is Helaman 5:12. Look at it, and you will know why. 😆 There may be something to learn out of all of this Hurricane fananza! Is that even a word?



Me and my companion signed up to serve at the nearby Hospital to be Clergy men, or as the reverned put it, "Spiritual Support". It should be super fun! Im sure you will be hearing more about it in the days to come. They gave us a vile of water and they said, "Here is some holy water, just in case someone wants you to baptize their infant". We were like, "No can do Reverend. That's not our style." Thank you Moroni 8!  



There is a man who is a lawyer we have been teaching, who has struggled to pray in front of people since we have been teaching him. In our last lesson this week, he gave the closing prayer!!! That was super exciting. Teaching about prayer and being with people when they first pray is so awesome! When you left your room this morning, did YOU think to pray?!?



There is this new incredible book that is called "Saints" that is availiable in the Gospel Library App. I have read the first 8 chapters and I have learned an incredible amount about the early church history. I would encourage all to read it. It is only the 1st volume out of 4 or 5 I think. 



A few weeks ago, my companion was asked to sing at a funeral of some friends in our ward. While we were there we met an Italian lady who just moved here and she told us that she found a copy of The Book of Mormon in her new home. She accepted to take the discussions, and we are really excited to work with her!



The work in southern Maryland continues!
