Mexico Beach

 I moved again... here we go to my fifth area. Bet you aren't as cool as me. I'm now in Mexico Beach and in a trio! There are three of us, which I was not looking forward to, but now I love it. Both of my companions are amazing, I am so blessed.

- I had to say goodbye to Sister Thueson, which was one of the saddest moments of my life. 

- Halloween has now passed, but not from my heart. We were actually able to hand out candy and kind of dress-up...? If being a McDonald's worker is dressing up.

- We got to volunteer at an Ironman! Watching those people run by made me tired, but honestly so inspiring. I could never do that, but I applaud anyone who can.

- I've decided I want to own a turtle, so if anyone wants to send me one...?

- Last time I was in the Panama City Zone, we went to a food drive and I loved it! I got to do it again and got some sun. Because of the food drive, we were able to meet some good people, and thus I was able to climb (literally climb, while spiders crawled) into one of these people's windows to let her back into her house. Ms. Audrey was very grateful.

- It's a small world, one of the members in one of my last areas, Moultrie has family that lives in Mexico Beach. And we are teaching them! I was so excited to find this out.

This week Temples have been on my mind, one of my companions had the opportunity to go through for the first time and it brought back a lot of feelings. I have realized, even more, the sacred power of temples. I know they are closed right now, but if you are anywhere close to one, I urge you to go on the grounds and feel the spirit there. That is something I wish I could do. I know that Temples answer so many questions and bring so much peace, and I know that as we search for answers we will find them at the Temple. I pray that y'all may be able to find and feel the comforting presence of the spirit at the Temple and are reminded of God's love for you.

I love you all so much!
