I hope you all had a lovely Halloween. Ours was pretty uneventful, but we made it fun! We spent all Halloween just visiting less active families and people we are teaching. We made little treat bags and wrote cards to each of them. They were all super grateful :) Also, as missionaries, we aren't allowed to be out past 7 on Halloween night so we just stayed in our apartment all night. We baked apples with cinnamon and brown sugar and watched church movies until we both passed out from exhaustion.
Trick for the Week: Pretty sure Satan is trying to sabotage all our friends and members. Literally everyone we have talked to this week has the flu or has a family member with the flu. We are just waiting for it to hit us one day because we are surrounded by sick people. Our cute family, J'nell and Rod, were going to come to church this week and we were so excited about it. On Sunday morning we got a text saying they were hit with the flu and they couldn't make it to church. We also had to reschedule the lesson with them. It was pretty disappointing. It's also getting super dark at night which has made proselyting difficult. When we try to visit people in the evening, they usually don't want to talk with us because they are eating dinner or going to bed (yes, some go to bed at 7 pm just because it's darker outside). We've been trying to schedule more lessons in the evening so we can knock on doors earlier in the day, but it doesn't always work out.
Treat for the Week: We had a trunk-or-treat with our stake last Tuesday and we invited all of our friends to it. Not all of them came, but we did see some of them there! It was great because they were able to meet many of the ward members so they can feel more comfortable about coming to church. Sister Deruvo and I just walked around and people kept asking us what we were dressed up as for Halloween lol. They think they are so funny. Our friends Mike and Chelsea were going to come to the trunk-or-treat, but guess what? They had the flu! Ok, but they totally made up for it because they came to church this Sunday!! They've been meaning to come for weeks now, so we were super shocked to see them actually show up. It was testimony meeting and they were super impressed with the way people would just get up and share their thoughts. They only stayed for sacrament meeting, but they loved it. They told us they had some reading to do....hopefully that means they are going to read the Book of Mormon. It was such a miracle.
Well, that's pretty much all that happened this week! Pray for J'nell and Rod to get better so we can start teaching them again and get Rod on date for baptism! I love you all and I hope you have the best week ever!
Be kind and be happy :)
love,
