Hot Sauce

Dear Family,
It has been a wonderful week in Old Town Maine. Everyday I am happier and happier that the humidity isn't melting my face off. This summer has been quite lovely.
Alright, so something you should know about Maine is that people think that pepper is spicy. So if they tell you something is hot, add a cup of hot sauce and maybe you will taste some heat. This rant is coming from when we went to dinner with a member at a Chinese food place. He asked for some hot mustard (which has wasabi) in it. When we got the hot mustard the member (who is a 6.5ft. giant) told us "Now, please be very careful with this it is very hot and please mix it in with your food." So naturally I stuck my clean fork in the hot sauce and ate it straight. at the same time he is going, "NO!"....... Yeah it wasn't hot at all.
This week has been amazing. Lots of miracles. Especially with less active members that we have been contacting. I have a strong testimony that all we should do with less active members is to treat them like they are investigators and if they aren't progressing then we shouldn't be teaching them. I feel that some less active members feel that we are here to counsel them, which we are not. We met with a less active sister who was asking us all these questions about her Patriarchal blessing. Before it got too far I told her that we were going to teach her the restoration and let the Spirit teach her. We did and she felt the Spirit really strong. It was awesome to see that the most powerful thing that we can do is teach the lesson with the Spirit. We also met another less active sister that past missionaries had seen. We taught her the restoration and when we recited the first vision her eyes lit up and she felt the Spirit. She didn't even remember learning the first vision.
