We traveled down to Lowville for one of our District Meetings. We took the Elders to Vinny's Pizza after for lunch. We love spending time with them. One of the Carthage Elders is transferred this week. On Saturday we had a full day, a little of everything. We first visited a young wife at Drum Inn. We go there with welcome packets each week. The lady at the desk said that they had a girl that was very depressed and could we visit her. She would not answer her door so we called her room and asked to visit. She is pregnant, had not seen a doctor yet and had a two year old. She had hardly been out of the room. We told her how to get help and then went to visit again on Saturday. She let us in and we had a good visit. Next we went to a ward member's home to patch a hole in her wall. After that we grabbed the food we had prepared to drive out to a baptism. It was held at a small lake called Lake Bonaparte in a small town of Diana. One of the Carthage members has a summer home there and they offered to have the baptism since the man getting baptized was claustrophobic and was worried about the font. It was cloudy, but warm. The man is a wounded soldier whose wife just left him. The leaves were starting to change, the water was like glass. There were only about 15 people there and it was so peaceful and beautiful. The spirit was so strong! We felt so lucky to be a part of it. We than drove back home in time for me to pick up the Sisters and go to the General Women's broadcast at Watertown Ward. Two of our inactives came and we were thrilled. One had not yet been to the church building. This is an example of how our days go. We feel so blessed to be here and have all of these experiences. We meet wonderful people and are put in situations to serve all the time. Each day is different, but full and happy.
