Mosiah 18:8-10

"Ring in the praises, and release the doves. My investigator who I talked about last week, the one that dumped us, he called us on Tuesday, and set up another appointment. He then called three hours later, and left a voice mail cancelling the appointment, but we decided to go anyways. So we went, and had a nice little pow wow about the Atonement and what the Priesthood means. Then he stood up and threw away his cigarettes away, and committed to try again. It's been a dream come true since then. He is praying regularly, reading his scriptures, and he calls us everyday to check in. We quit candy with him as he quits smoking and he really loved that idea. He calls to make sure we haven't given into our cravings. I wish I could say giving up candy was a walk in the park but I seriously would eat candy all three hours in church to stay awake, so I was dragging during church. He called us the other day just to tell us what a good job that we are doing. He said, and I quote "I love you to death as sisters!" My heart melted. Melted! He calls, and sets up his own appointment, by saying "I would really love to study the Word today.What time are you free?'

So we had dinner the other night with a member, and her old parents who aren't members. When we were leaving they started telling us about their belief in God. Their idea was that He is a cloud that is infinite, but not all powerful. He doesn't listen to everyone's prayers.He really doesn't love us because why would He let bad things to happen and further more why would He send He's Son here to die. I am constantly in shock about people's idea of God. How sad to think that lots of people really don't know that God is our loving Heavenly Father, that He listens to all our prayers, and sending Christ to earth shows just how much He loves all of us. Craziness!

For Halloween we got to watch a movie! That was the thrill of the century for a missionary.The movie was Ephriam's Rescue. Now, I am really into Pioneers. #missionary obsessions.

Everything is top notch, and Jim dandy.

P.S. I feel asleep during a lesson the other day. Yup, my sleeping is just as bad as a missionary. I mean I go to bed by 10:30 pm, and wake up at 6:00 am, but that doesn't stop me from wanting a nap. To be fair it was during a movie...but then I feel asleep when we were teaching the Word of Wisdom too, so yeah...I'm bad."
