Yesterday Sister Thayne and I
talked to a young girl on the street (probably 26ish) and she told us all about
her life and how many hard things she has been through. She explained that she
never feels peace and wants to stop using all the drugs and hurting herself
because she knows they aren’t good, but that she feels dependent on those
things now to function. She was so sweet and kind to us and we loved talking
with her. She asked us if we ever wanted to party or get drunk or do any of
those things. It made me think a little bit, and honestly, none of those things
sound in the least bit fun. Sister Thayne and I talked about it after and we
were saying how cool it is that we know what true joy feels like. That we know
of the peace and comfort that can come from having the gospel of Jesus Christ
in our hearts. We said how blessed we feel to have this knowledge and pure
happiness and how lucky we are to share this with people. We are calling the
girl we met to try and set something up soon, we know heavenly father put her
in our path for a reason. And I know we are truly blessed for talking to
everyone we see, because we were a little scared to talk to her at first. She
was with 2 other guys and they all seemed pretty wasted. If we would have just
passed her by, she might not get the chance to hear the gospel again for a long
while. She also told us that her mom prays for her everyday. Every person that
we meet is someone’s family, and someone is praying for them to find what we
have. It’s so cool!

The raspberries grow on the street
that we live on. We have been watching them closely :)

Those round berries are the ones
that may have poisoned an elderly woman... We found them in the forest and didn’t
know what they were, so we asked a Finnish lady. She took one right out of our
hand and ate it and then told us it was very poisonous and not to eat them.
Then she happily walked away... We hope she is okay....
