In which someone died, we got hit on by a drunk guy, and I committed to change my life :D

The subject line is intended to freak you out :)

Hello family!

Just Embrace it people because it's not going away

This week we had the opportunity to go visiting with our Relief Society president. We had a strong urge to visit a sister that was really far away and who the Relief Society president was hesitant to visit since the visiting teachers had said it was probably unsafe. We persisted, feeling that we needed to visit this sister, and it ended up being the perfect time to go- it was just her and her two little girls, and she was just in need of a visit. I think it really motivated the president :) Don't ignore the spirit!

Sister T and Me

Sister T. and I have started what's called a 40 day fast: for the next 40 days we are going to stop doing a list of several things that poke at our spirit and keep us from being effective teachers. We read an incredible story of a companionship who did this and found that their desire to do those little sins stopped, and the Holy Ghost was manifest in all their lessons. We're so excited! It's already proving difficult, but it's possible, I know it!

We've also made a goal- don't know if I mentioned this but we've realized that Friday nights are CRAZY busy in La Crosse downtown. So we've committed to go there every night and try to talk to as many people as we can, which is scary. We're getting better though :) but yeah, that's where the reference to the drunk guy came from :)

A's uncle passed away this week, so she's not going to make it to church for the next two weeks :( but she's still going to meet with us at our usual time on Tuesday :) Crazy stuff has been happening to a lot of people lately. There have been several deaths, a funeral that we helped out with, hospitalizations, and car wrecks.. It's crazy! but also, inspiring to see these people keep on coming and having their faith strengthened despite the tragedies :) I love them!

I hope everyone is doing well! hope to hear from ya'll soon :)

LOVE always,

Sister Roberts

Also- my poor watch has officially given up the ghost. Now- time does not exist! MWAHAHAHA!
