3 Nephites and a bunch of skunks!

  Hello everyone! I apologize, I don't have a lot of time to write a big email, so this will be short. To get you all excited, we have 3 baptismal dates!!!! We have also seen lots of miracles this week.         But to explain the subject line, a less active lady we are teaching was telling us about how before her family came to the mainland, (this is before she was born), they used to live out on an island on the lake. Well one day, these three men in suits came to her family with "their books" and told them all about the gospel, speaking the language perfectly! Her family accepted it, and they were all baptized. Well, when the 3 men left, there were no tracks or any trace of them anywhere. It was like they'd vanished into thin air. Sister Blaine and I both got chills and told her about the three Nephites and who they were. We were all kind of amazed, but how awesome is that?!?!? THE GOSPEL, ESPECIALLY THE BOOK OF MORMON IS SO TRUE! The First Nations also have so many things they do in their culture that are similar to the gospel, especially the endowment! It's pretty cool. To explain the skunk part............I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY SKUNKS IN MY LIFE  We almost hit one last night! We were going to go see a former and we had to take an old highway. It was getting dark and it was really really foggy so we had to turn around and head home, but it was really cool. We saw so many deer! Took some cool pictures too!

   Also, a cool miracle from this week was that we had little less than an hour to find one new person so we prayed about it and both thought of the same street. So we went there, and none of the houses we knocked on, answered. So as we were walking down the street, I looked over and saw cars at a house and I thought it was a really pretty house! So I told Sister Blaine we should go knock on the door. So we did, and ended up meeting a younger guy who has a young family and an adorable little boy, who is not biased against the Church, and was really open to us coming back! After we talked to him, it was time to go. It was so cool! 

   Also, can we talk about how amazing and very spiritual conference was????? WOW! I loved every second of it! I hope you all took notes because we all got called to serious repentance. AHH! 

I love this gospel and I am so grateful to be a part of it. I know Jesus Christ lives and that He died for our sins. I know that as we open our hearts to Him, we will be transformed into new creatures, and become wonderful instruments in God's hands. I know that through repentance, we will all receive the blessings God has in store for us! I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that by studying and pondering it, we will draw nearer to God and we will align our will with His. I know these things are true, and I bear witness that this is God's true church on the earth today. I say that in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

I hope you all have a fantastic week! 

Love, Sister Talbot
