The Things We Do........

     This is what we do every year to Lucky. She hates this so much!!! We laugh and take our picture. Then we give her a treat and a big hug. What she puts up with out of love. I hope your Halloween activities were fun and exciting. I went to my parents and spent it with them. I just didn't want to be home alone while everyone else was out having fun. Now we are in to the thankful time of year. I am thankful for many things. To many to count. I hope your weekend is great!!!!

Dear family,

What a great email! It sounds like things are looking of for you all. I love to hear all the lessons at church on Jesus. And to hear that James is 2nd counselor!!!! Woo that's awesome!

Well this week was a pretty different one. A good one though! We started out by dropping our car of at the shop for a few days. Which was just oh so fun. Ha ha. It actually wasn't that bad, the weather was SO nice for those couple of days so we didn't mind walking around everywhere. Because the weather was so nice, everybody was outside all the time so we talked to a lot of people and actually found a family (sort of-they're not married YET)! Rex and Eve. They are so sweet. We were walking to Holly's and I heard a "Are you guys from a church?" being yelled from across the street so of course we ran over there and talked with him. He actually was out reading his Bible too! He told us how he's had a rough life and him and his girlfriend were looking for a church to go to. So we invited him and set up a return appointment for Thursday. It went great! He knows the Bible so well! It's funny, we talked about Christ's church and how it was organized and such and how it is the same today. He was like, "Yeah, why not! It's in the Bible!" Ha. We should be going by to teach them the Plan of Salvation soon. I'll let you know how that goes!

On Friday we had our Halloween party! That was pretty fun. Elder Johnson and I struggled to find costumes...we were going to buy mustaches and say that we were "rebellious missionaries" but sadly...we couldn't find any. So, plan B! A pirate hat and Fairy wings! Yep! Elder Johnson was a pirate, and i was the fairy. Emily and her daughters made it there with Kari and they seemed to really enjoy it! It was a Dance and food party. Food as in fattening deserts, Yum. Emily who is about 7 months pregnant i think (BTW she's having her baby on my birthday! Woo!) got out on the dance floor with her kids, oh man that was pretty awesome. It was just a good ol time. I love this ward, the members are so awesome and out investigators rock!

We were planning on having about 7 or 8 people at church this Sunday but only 1 made it. Brother Boyd! Everybody else was sick. Everyone is getting sick right now! It's crazy! And annoying! But that's ok. Brother Boyd loved it though, he is seriously already a member. Looks like one, acts like one, talks like one, everyone else already sees him as one! It's so cool. We had a great lesson with him Tuesday on the Plan of Salvation which went very well. It answered a lot of his questions. Bishop Phaneuf was there and they hit it off right away! Both 66, and both their wives were once Methodist. Bishop Phaneuf has a pretty cool Coversion story too. It was just a great lesson, and he and Sister Boyd are planning on taking us to dinner tomorrow. It will be great!

Anyway i am out of time and need to go. So much to do! This gospel is amazing and i love it so much. It brings so much peace to me. It is so true. And i really want the people here to know this too. It's wonderful seeing the difference the gospel makes in a person's life. The Scriptures are true and they have stories of people who have successfully coped with all the things we face in life. I love that they are written down so we can have a model of what we need to do to face our trials! Heavenly Father loves us all so much, and he wants each of us to be happy, so he sent His Son. Jesus Christ is the way to happiness-the only way to happiness. He lives, and loves us!

Amen!
