Fall

October 28, 2015

There is something awe inspiring each time there is a change in the seasons. Fall in Vermont is one of those times.  I am in awe at the beauty of God's creations and I get to be a partaker.  Fall crept in softly.  We had "leaf peepers" early in September and while the flowers and the Monument were beautiful, they missed the color that came the second week in October.
  

Multitudes of Leaves at JSM

We had many visitors during this time, many who had never been here before.  Some from home.  All of them in awe of this beauty. The leaves lasted about five days and then the brilliance was gone. My mother taught me to see beauty in all I see and as each day came there was a different beauty, the rust, gold and browns were stunning. 

We had family who visited.  It was fun to share this fall weather with them. We drove on back roads that I am sure were not on any map. Roger got very good at stopping on a dime for the picture needing to be taken.

My heart has been touched many times this fall.  I have wanted to see Vermont in the fall my whole life. When Roger and I opened our Mission Call, I was moved with the fact that My Father in Heaven knows me so well that He felt to bless me with a Vermont experience.  My testimony of Jesus Christ has grown, the love I have for His gospel has grown. The heavens are opened again and Heavenly Father has given us Prophets to guide us through these troubled times.

Our mission time is going fast.  We shall lose this opportunity to see what Vermont has given to the world.  It will be always in our mind, always in our hearts, always in our souls.  We have loved our mission and we will continue until we're home.  We thank our Heavenly Father and our Lord, Jesus Christ, for this opportunity.
