OFF THE GRID

Mind blown......
This week has been one of the craziest weeks of my mission. We have seen some amazing miracles.
The beginning of the week was a little rough we could totally feel that satan was working hard on us. We completely understand now why he was, we ended up witnessing some incredible miracles.
One of the biggest miracles of the week resulted from last weeks awesome miracle of the people who stopped us on the sidewalk. We called them one morning and they told us to come for dinner. We went to their home and it was unreal! They live like a mile off the road in a beautiful log cabin completely off the grid! We had a wonderful dinner by candle light ha ha ha with incredible people. Their names are Mike and Michelle. They recently moved from Rhode Island and decided that they were sick of working their lives away so they sold everything and moved to Maine! They are both very open to the gospel and they basically became our best friends. They have two daughters who are away at college in Boston that are right around Sister Burtons and my age so they loved having us over. We had one of the most spiritual lessons with them too. It is incredible how strong the spirit can be when there are no worldly distractions. We felt so incredible after that experience.....and they gave us homemade lip balm and peppermint soap, what's not to love about that?!
Another pretty awesome miracle was with Lorna. We knocked on her door and at first she didn't seem too interested. Somewhere in the conversation it came up that we follow the ten commandments and then she realized that Mormons aren't super crazy! She wants us to come back and to teach her and her two grandchildren about the gospel.....success!
Things are finally starting to pick up here in the sticks of Maine! God is preparing people everywhere!
Well I'm going to cut this email a little short today. Someone is waiting for the computer so until next week, farewell!!!!

Peace and Blessings,
Sister Dixon
