Sister Christina Thacker: Week 68 -11° and we still went out 😄

You heard that right, it was -11 degrees on Saturday morning. So for exercise, we decided to walk to the Bennington monument at 7am. It was so fun!! (You Rafeel me?) We were FREEZING! We all had icicles for eyelashes and frost on our hats from breathing. (Pictures will be included)

We had some great miracles this week! Do ya'll remember Peter from my first transfer in Bennington? Well, he said he was ready to meet with us again!!! (He was starting his own business, so he got really busy) He also came to church!!! He is going to work towards baptism and do all he can to learn about the Gospel. He is so tender!!!

Our other friends are doing great! They are all progressing well and loving the gospel!

This week we had a training from President Vest about the talk by President Oaks, "Be of Good Cheer"

He gave us 6 steps to help us Be of Good Cheer:

1. Trust God, He is all powerful

2. Embrace opposition to become like Christ

3. Choose to act, not to be acted upon

4. Stop Whining

5. Take care of your body and mind

6. Turn to Christ for strength

These apply to everyone in all circumstances! I need to apply them more, and I am working on it. I invite you all to consider what you can do that will help you Be of Good Cheer in all circumstances.

I love you all so much!

Have the best week!

Also, we are doing a live event this Sunday at 7pm on the page, Church of Jesus Christ in Eastern New York, please join!
