Sister Allison Dittmer: Surronded by Thunderstorms and Sunsets

I moved areas!!!

[Hickory, Lenoir, the Boonies]

I moved to the Hickory stake! It's such a different area then my last, it was opened up to spanish when I came out on my mission so, I'm serving in Lenoir and Boone and everything looks like a hallmark movie!! So cute! My new companions name is Hermana Garvin, she's so fun!

So I definitely wrote this last week and forgot to send it. Hehe.

But it's been an absolutely crazy week. We had Zone conference which was amazing. And we had a total of 9 people in sacrament meeting. Including me and my companion. And We each had to give a talk. I directed the music, she played the piano. Then we had to teach Sunday school the next hour with the English ward. It had been an interesting week to say the least. But I am loving it here! North Carolina is a dream, the people are amazing and wonderful, southern, and love Jesus!

Listened to this talk about agency!! Be 100% responsiblehighly reccomend.

At first glance it may appear that Adam was blaming Eve when he said, “The woman thou gavest me.” However, when Adam subsequently added “and I did eat,” we are given to understand that he accepted responsibility for his actions and was giving an explanation, not blaming Eve. Eve in turn also said, “And I did eat” (Moses 4:18–19; see also verses 17–20; 5:10–11).

OKAY ALSO!! We made a lil family mission plan and I'll put the doc in here, but it is an opportunity to grow together as a family and grow closer to our Savior Jesus Christ. --if u have any questions about it feel free to reach out! I'd love to give u ideas to help gather Israel!

Love y'all!
