Hey!

So, it SNOWED!!!
It is insane! It was just sunny and then BOOM! The earth thought it would be
cool to get cold enough for the rain to be even colder, sticky, and WHITE!! It didn’t
snow last year till the end of December! I feel like it should be Christmas
time right now but then I remember about thanksgiving and I get a little bit
sad to be honest... :) But I am excited for thanksgiving! It is a great time of
year and it is a fun time when you're a missionary!
Well, this week
has been quite the adventure! Being in a new area where neither of us knows
anything is always a fun time! We have been making lots of U-turns and we've
been using tons of miles but that’s okay it’s all in the name of salvation!
Auburn is AMAZING! I love the people we have been able to meet. All the ward
members have been so loving and kind. They are really excited to have sister
missionaries again and to have missionaries just for their ward. It has been a
couple of years since they have had their own missionaries and they said that
they have been on the back burner but NOT ANYMORE :D

My new companion
is great! Her name is Sister Espinoza! She is from San Diego CA! She is
awesome! She thinks I’m an old person though because I don’t understand all the
new slang and terms that the youth use these days. I am getting old folks 😂 whenever we tell people where we are
from we get lots of comments like, "oh you all must be freezing." but
then they just keep us standing in the cold even though we say yes... one day
someone will let us in!
We had our day
of finding as a mission on Saturday. It went well but at one point we split off
and i was in a trio for a few hours. We knocked on this trailer home and this
woman answered the door and spoke to us for a bit. In the background we heard
her son yelling things like "Go Lucifer". He kept going and getting
louder so finally I matched his loudness with my testimony, gave her a card,
and then we left. It is a testimony to me the power of the adversary. He
doesn't want the spirit to be with us and he will do anything to distract us
from what we know to be true. I know that we can overcome his tricks as we
continue to do the little things we have been taught each and every day. It
broke my heart to hear what he said but it also strengthened my faith in many
ways, if that makes sense at all!
Anyway, I love
you all. I am so grateful for this chance to serve! Don’t forget to count your
blessings every day!! Have a great week!
Sister Reynolds
