Right back at you.... Happy Thanksgiving!! (Week 55)

Dear Family,

Well how have you been? Sounds like a pretty good week huh?! Lots of BYU things and the family! I hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving!!

I am looking for a nativity set! No worries but keep telling me every email!

This will be my fourth change here, and like you guys said, yes, this is the longest I have ever been in an area, and we and the other hermanas are all staying so that will be really fun, I love our apartment. 

Not too much is going on, it is was a pretty normal week for us, work work work:) and things are going good.

This week we didn't have any lunches with members and as we were walking to go home, CL(husband of SA, read below..) was cleaning outside so we helped him and went inside to say hi to Santa and then they invited us to eat with them! It's little tender mercies of the Lord that really help me and keep me going because I can see his hand in the work, or better put, we are here to his will and he his guiding us.

So the day before Sunday I was feeling pretty excited because we had met with a convert and her husband that are 84 and 91 years old and they were wanting to come to church because she just got her wheel chair and then we had talked to C that night and we talked about the Book of Mormon and it went pretty well, and he is praying about it...... So we were really excited for all for all of them to come....

Miracle Sunday: Sunday came! And we had decided that we were going to have about 4 investigators in Church, C, CE (his friend), Gabriel (his neighbor that is 12 but doesn't understand very much), and CL (the husband of our convert Santa). And then also SA and another less active that is in a wheel chair, Teresita, and we were going to go pass by for a couple of them. So we passed by for T and she was all ready and the lady that watches over her also came and she isn't a member P, and so it was just starting the day out good. We were sitting in relief society and there we see right as church had begun C and CE pass by, and we thought G wasn't with them, but it turns out he was there, he's just a little shorter so we couldn't see him.  Then we went with a member to go pick up SA and CL!! And that was amazing! So cute to see them, and in church, and then right as Sacrament meeting was starting A the less active and her boy friend walked in ( they really have a hard time getting up, if you didn't notice it seems like I always say and they walked into Sacrament meeting). So that was really amazing, but now we are working on trying to visit all of them, and that they can progress to be able to return to God's presence.  They are all willing to come to church, now they just need to complete with the over commitments and gain a testimony.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving this week everyone! and enjoy the turkey for me! I love you all so much, keep going strong!

Love,
Hermana Louder
