Hi! It's been... 10 days? A lot has happened. I'll do my best: 

I know you probably want to know about Hurricane Irma so here it is: 

On Friday 2 sisters from Hilton Head, SC came to stay with us. They got evacuated. They are the sister training leaders over the Savannah Zone and are awesome! We basically were on exchanges Friday-Tuesday (they left Wednesday, Sep 13 in the morning). So.. We got double the work done!! And met so many truly incredible people whom the Lord led us to. Also, all 4 of us really just needed those experiences for different reasons. But I just love that amidst the mess of a hurricane, the Lord helped us to find good and answered so many prayers. The work in the Perry area has changed so much since I got here - we are so busy - the Lord has truly opened the windows of heaven in the Perry Ward. By the time the hurricane got here it was rain and wind. We stayed in all day on Monday. The most damage we are aware of is.. Well, Sister K and I found a tree fallen in the road, taking power/telephone lines with it. We had to find another way to our appointment. Also some people we know had a tree break a hole in their roof. Hopefully we will get to do some service this coming week! There will surely be opportunities to go about doing good. 

We met with M (the man who came to church) on Monday the 4th. He knows the Bible so well! He said he came looking for a church because the one he is going to is "dying". He seems sincere and is very excited about the Book of Mormon! 

Sister O, while here with Sister R for exchanges, knocked doors and found a lady who we were able to go and see on Saturday and learned that she is a member of the church! She was baptized in VA 10 years ago and has lost or forgotten all of her gospel knowledge. She is now married to a man  who is not a member and they want to be taught! So incredible how the Lord places people in our path. 

We received a referral this week for a lady who wanted a Book of Mormon. She is awesome - we were able to be in her home within 4 hours of receiving the referral and taught her the Restoration. She is so ready to learn and truly loves God! 

Remember always that the Lord saves us individually. One by one. Not in large batches, but personally. Turn to Him. He knows your heart and desires and can motivate and lift you to righteous action. He knows your sorrows and heartaches and temptations. By yoking ourselves with Jesus Christ, our burdens can be made light. We can have true joy. "If thou believest in the redemption of Christ thou canst be healed."
