This week was pretty good! The
campaign of getting members to trust us more is moving along quite well,
so that's pretty encouraging.
We've still been doing a lot
of work with a kid in the Ward that enters the MTC the day Elder Page
goes home, and that's been really cool. He's been coming to district
meeting, and we've been taking him tracting and to less-actives and
stuff. What's probably been the coolest part though, is seeing how much
he's grown in this little bit of time. He was really shy at first and
wouldn't say a word, but now he's giving these really profound comments
during lessons and stuff. It's sweet to see.
The 'ol investigator pool is still pretty dry, but we have faith that it will change soon.
Last
week I said that I would be doing a musical number in sacrament meeting
yesterday with somebody's viola, but it ended up not working out for
this week, but I should be playing in a couple more Sundays. The reason
it didn't happen was that the lady that was supposed to accompany me had
to go out of town because her mother fell and hurt herself, so she left
to spend time with her.
Thanksgiving was good!
We had quite a few people invite us like the day before, so we didn't
go hungry or anything. We were actually not supposed to go to more than
one Thanksgiving dinner, but we got permission to go to a lunch and a
dinner with instructions to not spend very long at either. So an older
couple in the ward invited us over for a Thanksgiving lunch at like 2:00, and somebody else invited us over a dinner at 5:00. Long story short, we didn't start eating at the first one until 4:00,
and then had to book it over to our other appointment. The older couple
have been experiencing some health issues and injuries, so they were
moving slower than usual. We tried to help as best we could, but it
still took a while. It was still very nice of both groups of people to
have us over.
One of our less-actives, Richard,
is doing awesome! We've been having some amazing breakthrough lessons
with him. He's been reading the scriptures trying to deepen his
relationship with Christ, and he even came to church on Sunday! We saw him on Friday,
and he committed to come to church (Which is big) so we were really
looking out for him right before church, and we had a little scare when
his wife and daughter walked in without him. But to our much rejoicing,
he walked in a few minutes later!
So yeah, that's about it :)
Anyways, thanks for reading! Hope you all have a great week!

We saw a pretty cool tractor pulling car the other day, so we stopped to take a picture.
When deer hunting season rolls around, it's a pretty big thing here in Michigan. :)
