Hello from South Jersey!
I have been transferred to TOMS RIVER! yes this is the home
of the 'Jersey Shore' the TV shore. I'm on Snookie alert. Hey everyone needs
the gospel.
Life in South Jerz is a completely different experience. There
is zero to no honking, its slow paced, there is sand on the streets and best of
all..... NO SNOW! its been nice and warm and I love this area. My companion is
the cute Sister Bair from Centerville Utah, she is a doll. Seriously, gorgeous
and an incredible teacher. I'm blessed to be here.
Our area is the newly opened RETIREMENT community called "Manchester" . I've never seen so many elderly but this is a huge blessing for us missionaries. They are always home and it’s easy to chase them down.... :) but seriously we are excited for all of the possibilities.
We had some elders fast for us yesterday...and instantly we
SAW miracles. Referrals we're flying at us from all over and we found a new
Investigator....he might believe in Aliens but we see potential in him! All of
the miracles we are seeing are coming from reading from the Book of Mormon with
all of our contacts. There is literal power in that book, power in trials,
power in the good times...it is the spiritual ENERGY we need to get through the
day. I've seen it in my mission, there is no greater calling..but in the hard
times I have learned to turn to that book and remembered
that I am NOT ALONE. "The power behind YOU is much greater than
the obstacles ahead of you" Our Savior loves us and lives.
This is His work!
We are starting our exchanges this week, and so excited to
learn from all of the sisters down here.
I love you all soo much! Keep up the incredible work!
Sending love from the Shore,
Sister Houghton
P.S.....Go. Fight. WIN!
