Hey guys! This week was crazy!
On Tuesday, we had to call our apartment manager because our heater was broken. They came and fixed it that day, which was nice. We walked around downtown and asked people what they were grateful for. Didn't find any new people but we tried. Then we had a new missionary meeting, ate lunch and then had another missionary meeting. Then we had a lesson with a less active and she said she would come to church!
On Wednesday, we went and ripped out blackberry bushes. Apparently they grow everywhere here and are considered a weed. We went to the church so Sister Flake could write her talk. We had dinner at a members house and it was fun.
Thursday was Thanksgiving! We went and played football with a bunch of missionaries in the zone and some YSA. It was a ton of fun! Then we went to our bishops house for our Thanksgiving meal. They had a ton of missionaries over and made some good food. We sat and talked for a bit. They had a coconut cream pie so that made my day. They sent us with a ton of leftovers, so thats what we've been eating all week. We then went to another members house. She had invited a friend who interesting in learning more about the gospel! So we came over, were fed more pie and shared a message. Then we had an awesome conversation with the people who were interested! Its cool to see how a members can be missionaries in their everyday life! The member sent us home with more leftovers and half a costco pumpkin pie. We've had so much pumpkin pie.
On Friday, we had new missionary training and district counsel. Then we taught a really good lesson on the law of tithing with our friend who's on date to be baptized.
Saturday was fun and a little odd. We went and played soccer with some people from a ton of wards. It was early and cold. We then has a lesson with a guy that has met with missionaries before but this was the first time we've met with him. We also had a lesson with another friend and she just kept repeating about how much she was at peace when meeting with us!
It was super foggy on Sunday morning. Plus, everything was covered in frost. It was a cool morning. We went to church. Sister Flake gave an amazing talk! Church was good, as always. We came home and did some weekly planning.
We decorated for Christmas with stuff we found in the apartment! Its not the best but at least its something!
I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving! I challenge all of you to be a member missionary! Hope you have all a great week!
Love,
Sister O'Barr
