Hey there family-
The weather here is starting to cool down, so I am learning the art of layering things under my skirts. I am so glad that I have my Doris Day coat, because if I didn't, I would be a frozen sister way too early. The leaves are changing and they are so beautiful that it is sometimes distracting. We have been getting rain from some hurricane so I hope that the leaves hang on for a few more weeks.
Right now the work has kind of stalled. No one has gotten baptized. All the people we are working with are trying to figure out "what the point is" to having the true church on the earth if we are all just good people and follow Christ. It is really making me look at the importance and the blessing of knowing that the true church of Christ is restored once more.
I don't know about who is getting transferred, but I do know that we get the call on Sunday and whoever is transferred leaves early on Tuesday.
Wasn't Woman's Conference just amazing!? Pres. Uchtdorf's talk was so good. I liked what he said about it doesn't matter the quality of your prayers, just as long as you are an answer to someone's prayers. We should all pray to be led by the spirit to be an answer to someone's prayers.
I know that the Lord looks out for us. We are His children that He loves so dearly. He wants that best for us, this is why He allowed His Son to give His life for us. We just need to follow the commandments and we will be able to with stand anything.
I love you all,
Sister Foy

Letter form 9.22.08
Hello family,
How is everything going in all your lives? I bet that you are all really busy with school and work and all the things that happen with life. right now in New England fall is in full swing. The leaves are changing, the days are getting shorter and cooler.
we were suppose to go to a city called Bar Harbor today, but I love how Pres. Jensen gives us enough rope to hang yourself. So we used our best judgment and decided not to go.
We have had some really awesome miracles happen in the last few weeks. We had a smack down lesson with one of our less actives we work with and now she is coming to church! Now because she is coming to church she has received a calling to be Branch Chorister. She loves it. It is amazing how the gospel brings the best out in people. She now has a confidence that I didn't know that she had. She dyed her hair and bought a new out fit for church. She is so cute.
we had a day where our appointments fell threw. We were kind of bumbed about it, because one was with a lady we have a baptismal date with. We were out tracting and the first house we knocked on invited us in. We basically had the first lesson. She knows we are from God and is really interested in hearing more about the church. We see the today so we will have to see what happens. I love how the Lord works to make sure His children are taken care of.
At church yesterday we had a surprise. Nick, the guy that was baptized a month ago is moving to Cincinnati, Oh. He had gone there to see a friend and go to a baseball game and now he is moving there. I asked him if he prayed about it and he said that he did and it fells right. I hope that he stays close to the church.
I hope all is well and that you are looking for miracles in your day, because that is God saying I love you.
Love you all,
Sister Foy

Letter form 9.8.08
Hey there family-
This might be a little short, but I will write. The house got struck by lighting??! I was a little scared because I didn't read the letter before looking at the pictures. I am glad that everything is all right. We have a third bed. Pres. Strout the branch president got a hold of a bed that we could use for the transfer. There is a sister coming out next transfer so one of us will be gone at the end of this transfer. Sister Pace goes home with Sister Mecham in November.
Nick is doing fine. He went out of town for the weekend so we didn't meet with him. I love you and hope that all is well. I know that the Lord well help us when we ask and are ready for whatever answer that he will give. It is amazing serving the Lord, I love it!
