Soooooo cooooooold! November 25

FIRST of all, I realized that I put the wrong scripture reference in my letter last week... oops! I think I did that another time too.... sorry about that!

Second of all, I don't think I've ever been more cold in my life than being out here! People were not lying when they said that would happen. Humidity + Wind = Misery. Haha. There were times this week when I was completely convinced that my face was just going to fall off. Luckily that hasn't happened....yet.

I've got to be quick this week. The biggest lesson that I learned this week:

1. Service is an incredible source of softening people's hearts. We decided to go around a neighborhood and offer to rake people's lawns. Some turned us down, but a couple let us do it. It was nice to actually do some manual labor! But it was even cooler because the second woman who let us rake her lawn is now an investigator! She was super nice and we met her kids and she was so touched by our service that she wanted to just talk to us to understand why we would do that. We were able to teach her about the Restoration of Christ's Gospel and she completely opened up with her life. 

I love you all so much! I'm so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. I feel your prayers and I'm grateful for that! Remember that Christ lives and He is always accessible!

Love, Sister Ricks
