Howdy friends and family!
This week was great here in Niagara Falls! Lots of things were accomplished! We had lots of lessons and saw some tender mercies.

Greatest Tender mercy of them all, Tuesday night to Wednesday night I was able to go on exchanges with Elder Hardy. I went to his area for the day, he is serving in the YSA branch in Buffalo. We spent all day on college campuses talking to students, it was a ton of fun, young people are really receptive to the gospel. That area baptizes very frequently. It was good to be back with Elder Hardy again. It has been 6 months since we were together in Canandaigua. It was great. When I was first with him and we walked onto campus I was so overwhelmed with how many people were there. We just got to pick and choose who we spoke to. It was a nice change of the work. One of the first days of my mission that I didn’t have to knock doors. Lol.
Also this week we had lots of lessons with our new investigator Jeff. He is solid, we have taught him a lot and are now working on getting him to live the commandments. He came to church on Sunday as well. Every time we meet with Jeff he always says how grateful he is that he car broke down the day we met him, because we wouldn’t have gotten to talk with him and help him come unto Christ. We will be passing him off to the YSA elders so he can go to the branch and be with people his age. Sad, but it’s what is best for him.
We have been working a lot with Gladston as well. He is from Jamaica! He has a lot of passion for Jesus Christ but he has very little education. It’s hard for him to comprehend the things we teach but he is coming along really well. He’s come so far since I’ve been here. It’s been really cool to watch him repent and draw closer to the savior of the world.
Those are the 2 main people we are working with. Other than that we are pounding the pavement and trying to build our teaching pool. We found lots of cool people recently. Defiantly good things to come in this area!
We only had 1 hour of church this past Sunday because of weird weather, we had about 1/2” of ice all over the roads and cars. It made for a long day walking around in and trying to stay warm in the freezing rain! Haha we still found some awesome people who we will be meeting with this evening! God is good. The elect of god are our even in the most brutal of weather.
Nichole, a girl I taught in Canandaigua this past week was also baptized! What a blessing. I still miss that place like crazy. Nichole was suppose to be baptized while elder Hardy and I were together but because of some legal things that had to be worked out she got baptized on Saturday this past week. Now everyone i taught while in Canandaigua is baptized. Well basically.
Myself, I’m doing well. As I have taken the council of the prophet and receive revelation daily I really have seen myself grow in ways I didn’t think were possible. I’ve had questions answered. I am a strong believer that god answers our prayers. As soon as we say “Dear, Heavenly Father...” his ears are turned towards us and we have his undivided attention. I know this to be true. I hope you all have taken the council of President Nelson and have sought after answers to your questions. He gave us the directions to do so:
1. Find a quiet spot
2. Humble yourself before the lord
3. Pour your heart out, ask questions
4. Listen!
5. Write down the feelings and impressions you receive!
Something as simple as these 5 steps can change lives.
Love,
Elder Judy
