September 2, 2014- Perspective

Heyy!  The library was closed yesterday.  Sorry this is late.  How are all y'all doing?  This week was a really awesome week here in Fort Payne!  We have just been finding so many awesome people!  One guy we talked to was so prepared.  He told us he was looking for a church to go to and wants us to come back and teach him and his wife.  Not only that but a couple of days later we walked past his apartment again, he stopped us and asked if he could have some more restoration pamphlets to give to his friends.  So cool! 
So yesterday we went on a Zone hike. We hiked up a mountain (big hill haha) in Huntsville.   It was super awesome and when we got to the top the view was amazing.  We studied for a while up there and then had kind of a testimony meeting.  It was really spiritual.  One sister in the zone talked about the perspective we had on top of the hill, where we could just see for miles, compared to the perspective we had while we were hiking through the trees.  Then she compared it to the perspectives we have in missionary work.  That got me thinking a lot too.  One thing President Hanks talks a lot about is remembering the spiritual experiences we have on the mission.  That they can help us through hard times we have.  Yesterday on that mountain I got a better understanding of that.  When we have awesome spiritual experiences our perspective changes.  It's like we are on top of a mountain.  As we remember those spiritual experiences it will help us through hard times in life.  When we are hiking through crazy Alabama trees and we can't see 20 feet ahead haha.  Anyways I have no idea if that makes any sense but it does to me.  It was a pretty cool experience! 
I love you all and I hope yall have a great week!
