Week 18: Happy Thanksgiving! [November 27, 2017]

Hi Everyone!

For starters, I set off the fire alarm twice this week. The first time I  was cooking some hamburger patties and the second time I cooked a quesadilla for a little too long. The apartment smelled like burned quesadilla for a few days. Aside from me burning things we got to help a guy move a refrigerator! Whenever we get to do random acts of kindness it's always rewarding.

On Wednesday we had what's called a field day which is where you go arround and knock on doors, but you don't get let in anywhere except dinner and your apartment. We had a lesson (outside) with one of our investigators so that was good. In the white handbook it says that holidays are one of the best times to find people but we found out that's false.

Thanksgiving was really good. We went over to the Oakford's house for lunch/dinner and we had the Perry family come as well. Afterwords we met with one of the less actives and visited her for a while.

The rest of the week was mostly going by people on the lists we have and tried to find out if they were still interested or moved.

One really cool thing that happened was that while we were meeting with one of our investigators, she said that if she found out that the Book of Mormon is true then she would be baptized!

That's pretty much it for this week! I just want to remind you that the light the world initiative is now up. I encourage all of you to do it and see how it blesses the lives of others.
