The work is going great! We had a random guy call us the other day, Jesse Domingas, who wanted to be baptized! He's been taught previously but wasn't ready for the commitment of baptism because he wanted to be sure he was ready to make the kind of commitment. He had the opportunity to go to temple square last week and watch every movie they played, went on every tour, went to the visitors center and pretty much did all they had for him to do. He said he had the most wonderful experience there and realized he was ready to be baptized and become a member of the church. So that was really exciting. Its not every day that you get a phone call from someone who is begging to get baptized. Usually its the other way around :)
We still have our 3 set for baptism as well but had to pass Faustino off to another set of sister missionaries because he's out of our boundaries. That was a bummer but at least he'll get baptized either way. A lot of people are really weirded out by the church right now because of stuff they see on the news... Not really sure what's going on but we explain that it isn't our church who's doing all those bad things. It's gotten really bad to the point where people just wont even give us the chance to speak and start yelling and mocking us... But I'm grateful to those who will listen. We're continuing to strive and get all the less active members active again and help out with the part member families. It's going great! People love having us in their homes. I love it.
For thanksgiving we'll be going to 2 members homes. One at 1 and one at 5... So we should be nice and fat by the end of the day. We're suppose to be getting out transfer calls on December 16th and be transfered the 18th... I really hope I don't get transfered but I have a feeling I will be. The timing is a bummer... Right before Christmas then going to an area where you don't know anyone... But I'll go where the Lord wants me to go and be happy about it!! He knows better than me.'
Other then that, not much more is going on. It's getting super cold here and people say that it's usually not this way till January and February so we're looking at a nice cold winter... Gets right to your bones... Well I love you and hope all is well back home. You're always in my prayers!
-Happy Thanksgiving!!!
