8-14-17 Crossin' the State Line

Hello everyone! Currently I'm writing this from the fancy lobby of a very fancy car fixed while we get a diagnostic run on the car's system. It makes me feel not-very-fancy. 
But this week was phenomenal! Sister Lowry and I are having a geat time and seeing miracles, including 5 new investigators, which was a huge blessing! 
We started off on Tuesday by goingmup to Danville, Virginia, to help the housing coordinators move the Danville elders. We think Sister Monteleone just likes to have other sisters for company. That took all day, but it was fun! It was a good thing, to, because their old place was a little nasty. Virginia was a nice place, though. 
On Wednesday we had district meeting with our temporary trio of zone leaders, which was super fun. We missionaried around quite a bit until Friday, when we finally had another lesson with our investigator D! It was a wonderful lesson, and we really got to know where he is. We are excited to see him continue to progress. We also met again with the Bible referrals from way back, H and G, who asked us a lot of questions comparing the Bible to the Book of Mormon. I think we got it all sorted out in the end. 
We started new member discussions with M on Saturday! He is so good and surprises us every day with how much he knows. He is such an inspiration. 
I studied humility for a training this week and learned some things. I've come to understand humility as an acknowledgement of our own inadequacies and a trust in God's power. Pride, on the other hand, is trust in our own powers and strength. It takes humility for God to bless us. Pride keeps us from accepting those blessings. 
Anyway, that's just a few random thoughts. Today we had game day as a zone and Sister Lowry and I went to the Greensboro Science Center as well. So much fun! 
Hope to hear from y'all!
Love,
Sister Reay
