Well it was really fun chatting with
everybody today! Glad you were all online. Glad to hear that everyone
is doing great! Things here are going really good. We had some great
experiences!
On Tuesday
we decided to go out porting to find a family for the elders that serve
in our ville. They have been so great and have given us so many
referrals. It was Elder Gram's birthday so we wanted to specifically
find a German family for him because he's from Germany. So we went out
and searched for 4 hours going door to door. It was so much fun! We
followed random German flags that were waving randomly in the sky. haha
it was funny. The last street we went down we got let in our first house
that day. This beautiful woman from Ghana opened the door and let us
in. We had a great lesson with her and she wants us to come back. We
didn't end up finding a German family that day.
We continued to pray throughout the week and we
randomly got a call from a man. He told us that he had been taught by
misisonaries a year ago and was really interested in taking the lessons
again! We told him that we had just the people for him and his family.
We passed them along to the elders and they got in contact with them! It
was the coolest tender mercy.
Then we had a rendez-vous with one of our families.
We were waiting at the bus stop and a guy asked us for a cigerette. We
told him we didn't smoke then he saw our tags and got really embarrassed
and apoligzed like 900 times and told us he went to church yesterday
and he's a man of God! haha it was pretty funny. He started asking us
questions about our church and finally he found out that we were
"mormons' and he got really excited because he wanted to know more about
us! We told him that we had elders that would love to teach him more.
So then we passed his nubmer off to them! Tender mercy number 2!
Then we actually went to our rendez-vous with Petula
and her family. The brother of the dad was there and at the end of the
lesson they started to ask some questions...like if we could date on our
missions, or if we could marry nonmembers. At first we just answered
them normally. Then we realized that they probably weren't just asking
in generalities! haha Pretty soon he pretty much proposed to us. yep us!
He didn't really care which one! He was happy to have the hand of
either one of us. or probabaly both! pretty sure he'd read up on
pologamy as well. haha we were dying! He told us that he'd get baptized
for sure and do whatever was necessary. He was dead serious. He told us
he'd even move to the US because he's always wanted to. So we swiftly
left that lesson. haha but turns it out its really cool because the
family is finally progressing. And they have a 12 year old son who is
really interested who happens to really need the elders in his life! So
we decided to pass them on to the Elders! So that made 3 families for
the elders. God answers our prayers in HIS timing and HIS way! It was so
cool!!
So sunday
we show up to church, and the Elders had an amie waiting for US! They
had found a woman who is golden and they passed her to us. Wow it was so
cool! It is such a blessing to serve in a ville where all 4
missionaries work in unity. it was so neat.
So I don't know if you have had a chance to watch
the CES broadcast from Elder Osguthorpe, but if you haven't i would
highly recommend it! It was incredible; i printed it and read it this
week. Here is my favorite quote from it:
Oh how beautiful the song of redeeming love is! And what a
beautiful time of year it is to celebrate it. We have so much to be
grateful for! I will miss you this Thursday.
We will have a district meeting all day to celebrate; in honor of
Grandma Peg I'm doing the rolls! Wish me luck right? haha And also
awhile ago we planned a thanksgiving activity for the ward and we're
really excited because we're actually doing it! Everyone is coming Saturday with their friends and nonmembers to enjoy an American holiday. I'm really excited!
As you know my comp's mom just found out she has a brain tumor. She will get it removed the 16th of December. Their family could really use some prayers right now! Her mom's name is Liz and they are incredible. Thanks for your prayers!
I hope you all have a beauiful Thanksgiving. And
know how thankful i am for all of you! Eat an extra Costco pumpkin pie
for me and Loge. And have a turkey bowl! You will be in my thoughts. So
grateful for you!
Pictures:walking to church this week! Making
American cookies with the cutest kids in our ward, also showed them how

porting in the cold all day! We love warm trains!
