Oct 26

Well we have to switch our weekly planning session to Friday night so we are in early on Halloween so that’s kinda a bummer. You know me; I wanted to go trick or treating! But we get to eat dinner at the ward Halloween party which is exciting that we at least have something to dress up for. I’m not exactly sure what we are going to be yet, but I think its grandma sisters. We got some wigs from an investigator so we will have some awesome pics :-)

Those pics from the MTC are cool huh? Aw man, I loved the MTC. I still miss it even though I have been out here longer than there (which is weird.) I can't believe I have almost been out in the field for a month, Ah! But you don't have to put them together on a DVD we were going to do something cooler but we didn't ever get to it, so don't worry about it thanks though :-)

That's fun that you are having Matt over. Tell him I say "hello”. So Marina and Brian are engaged! That’s awesome tell them congrats :-) Man, the holidays are going to be hard! But I will make it through.

Well this week was a slow week, (seems like a month) but we did a lot of tracting and it's getting kinda cold (speaking of, mom if you could send me a couple sweaters that would be awesome) and one day people were just on a roll! Everyone wanted to argue and this one lady told us that we were a cult and we didn't believe in Jesus Christ and all this stuff, it was crazy! Haha she wouldn't let us go, she kept saying, "why don't you stand up for your religion" so we had to literally just walk away while she was still talking! Haha it was funny but it made me think about why I am here and why people think we are a cult and things like that. I wish I could go thank her for strengthening my testimony because she did. Its funny how she was trying to get us to go away from the church, but it brought me closer Jesus and knowing that it is the true church that I am out here for the right reasons. People are funny, gotta love them :-)

We made this board game called "celestial life" and you start in pre-mortal life and then get baptized and go to the temple and go on a mission and get married and the ending is the celestial kingdom. You have to answer questions and role the die to move forward. It’s so awesome! And it's a great review tool; we have questions from preach my gospel lessons 1-4. Everyone loves the game. This one less active member wants to play it every Monday, and we have a game called "celestial pursuit" and we use those questions now. Haha it's really fun.

One day we were playing it with this part member family and we were talking about Thomas S. Monson and said how he has a photographic memory and promises that if we memorize a scripture a day we will get one too. Well the dad was in the other room and he goes... "Wait! Your prophet has a pornographic memory" oh man we were all laughing so hard!! It was so funny.

Since we were tracting a lot this week we decided to memorize scriptures while walking so we are memorizing scripture mastery (good thing I didn't memorize them when I was in seminary or I would have nothing to do while tracting... right mom????) well we are going to work really really hard this week because next week is our last week and Sis. Bateman wants to visit members because she is going home and she has to pack, so this week is going to be awesome but I dunno about next week :-\ But anyways! I love you all and remember that God loves you and to ensure happiness put him first in your life. You can't go wrong if you do that :-) Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
