Hello all!
I'll share a miracle we saw this week. We have been working with Brother S. for a while (since June) and a week or so ago we were raking leaves at a member's home (she lives in his parents' neighborhood). We finished raking the member's leaves and decided to see if Brother S.'s parents had any leaves that needed raking. We approached his parents' house and his car was parked outside. He came out to talk to us. He told us that we should stop by to see his brother who works in a hair salon. He said his brother's boss, Lori, might be interested in our message. We stopped by the salon this week (tuesday) and before we left we sang "Be Still My Soul." The Spirit was there, and they felt it. We stopped by again 2 days later, and Lori said she had felt at peace for the rest of the day "like nothing could touch [her]." Brother S.'s brother, Matt, said he thought we sounded like two angels and also remarked on the peaceful feeling that lingered in the salon the rest of that day. Lori told us that for the rest of the day customers would come in and say "it feels so peaceful here." Music is powerful!
I guess the Book of Mormon Class was a good idea. It's only the second week and we had 14 or 15 in attendance Wednesday night. It's actually pretty fun to teach!
So, it's November and it's unusual to have tornadoes at this time of year. At church one man warned us to not be out and about that afternoon, a "severe weather warning" had been issued. Well, we asked a couple of other ward members and they told us not to worry about it. So, we went to the Waite's for supper around 2:30. At 3:18 we recieved an "Extreme Alert" text. Tornado warning. Another text at 3:20. Another at 3:42. So, like any curious human being, we went to the living room to look out the window. The wind was blowing a million miles an hour, and the rain made it pretty hard to see very far. It felt and soundedlike being in the middle of a tornado. The storm was violent enough that we decided to go into the basement, (possibly for my sake--I was trembling as much as, if not more than, the dog.)

I really don't like Indiana storms.
After 20 minutes in the basement, we surfaced. The storm did some damage, but no tornado. We saw a flattened barn, as well as several destroyed trees and on the drive home we got our 4th tornado warning text.
(I guess there was a tornado in Kokomo, a neighboring city.)
Anyway, it was pretty exciting. I have now made it through my first, (hopefully myonly) tornado experience.
The gospel is true. Tornadoes are scary. Read the Book of Mormon! A verse a day keeps the tornadoes away. I'm pretty sure that's why I'm still alive ;)
Love,
Sister Lewis
