The Rains Came Down and the Floods Came Up

Dear friends and family,

This week flew by!

On Tuesday we were stuck inside for a little bit due to a tornado watch and a flash flood warning. Sister Pochop and I along with the Lonoke sisters were stuck in Beebe. Fortunately there were some wonderful members who let us stay with them and even fed us dinner :)  We were very grateful that we didn't try driving to Lonoke in the rain because there were tons of flooded streets it was crazy.  On Thursday we spent the day in Jacksonville with the sisters there.  It was lots of fun to get to be with them. The work there is going super well. They had so many people to see that we were all running all over the place all day long!  Sunday the elders in our Ward had a baptism. I had the opportunity to speak at the baptism about the Holy Ghost. I am so grateful for this wonderful gift that comforts, guides, teaches, and helps me so much every single day. The best part of the baptism is that Brittany got to come and she loved it! She is so excited for her baptism which is coming up in two weeks!

We are looking forward to Thanksgiving this week. I love this time to reflect on all the many wonderful blessings that our Father in Heaven has given me. I am especially grateful for the opportunity to be serving a mission at this time. I'm so grateful for all the wonderful people that I have meet and who have touched my life. I'm so grateful that I get to study and share the gospel each day. Most of all I'm grateful for my Savior and all that he has done for me. I love this time of year where we all try to think of him a little more and be a little more like him. This Sunday the Church is releasing the new Christmas initiative video called a Savior in Born. I invite everyone to go watch it and share it because it is so good!
Happy thanksgiving y'all!

Love
Sister Aase
