Happy November!!

November 5th ...

I loved your emails and LETTERS (yay) this week...I laughed and even cried. I'm all over the place.  haha  Sounds like you had a fun Halloween.  You didn't send any pictures...Shanny I think that's funny you carried around a stereo and had the theme music playing in the background all day.  You're too funny.

Ben told me you got a new cat....at least I'm not there. ;)

So!  We had a really good week.  We had a ward Halloween party which was really fun.  There were a lot of nonmembers there, so that was really good.  I had pictures, but I forgot my camera, so maybe next week...

We also found a few new investigators!  We found a YSA named Paige whilst street contacting.  She doesn't really have a belief in God, but she wants to know if something is there.  We taught her and her boyfriend a lesson.  I'll let you know how everything goes!

On our way to Paige's appointment we were street contacting and we stopped a young couple with a cute little baby.  We talked to them about families and the plan of salvation...they said we could go by later that day!  That night we stopped by and they let us in!  It's sad that that's such a surprise to me. ha.  Anyway, we had a brilliant restoration lesson.  Oh, their names are Kyle and Rebecca and (baby) Liam.  Kyle has always had a belief in God, but doesn't have a religion.  Rebecca doesn't really have a belief in anything.  It was amazing to see the change in Rebecca throughout the lesson.  She started off really quiet, looking at us like we were two weird mormon missionaries (haha), and with plenty of doubts.  But as we taught about Jesus Christ and the restoration we saw the spirit really touch her heart.  By the end she was asking questions and wanting to gain for herself.  Kyle said the closing prayer and it was so sweet.  We left just beaming.  And just loving being missioanaries.   Best thing ever.  Wanna know what's cool?  We found out that Kyle's grandma is a member in our ward!  woo!  Pray for them, please. :)

Our investigator Danni (the sisters had been teaching her) is doing okay.  She is changing in a million ways (for the better) and is gaining a testimony.  Her fiance is against it all though, and he just moved in with Danni and her mom.  So she isn't scheduled for baptism anymore, but we're still working with her.  We had a lesson with her this week at the park by her home (we aren't always allowed in...), and it started raining so we had a lesson sitting in the woodchips under the playground.  The things we do sometimes...   well, my mind has gone blank and I don't really have too much more to say!  I hope you have an excellent week....I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving!  I hope someone will take pity on my and my American ways and have a Thanksgiving dinner. ha. That's exciting that Jed is leaving the week after Thanksgiving!  Tell him hello and I'll pray for him. :)

I love y'all!
