Tricks and Treats
Another week gone and another month. The rain keeps falling
and the temperature keeps dropping. Yet strangely, there's still no snow in the
forecast. Sometimes I wonder whether or not lower BC is part of Canada or
not. We could have a green Christmas according to many of the locals. Devin's
visit to Kelowna turned out to be longer then we thought. He just got back
to town yesterday so we were unable to teach him at all this week. His
baptismal date still stands tall for the 15th!
We taught Loris' family Tuesday night and they are awesome!
Some of the friendliest most out going people you'll meet. We met
her husband Harold who seems to be totally opened to learning about the
church. The belief in God that they have is not so different from our own it
seems and we are thrilled to keep working with them. We'll be seeing them this
Tuesday night and they are reading the Book of Mormon.
Hope everyone had a great Halloween! Elder Lamb and I sure
did. On the 30th, we helped our young men's leader, Brother T. set up a
maze project in the church's primary room for a
Halloween activity. The maze was entirely made out of card board
and was enclosed so the kids that went through it had to crawl
on the floor through it in the dark. At 7:00pm we went to the activity
to see how well it worked. It was difficult to get through even for the
older kids!
On Halloween we found a new investigator named Tara who
loves trucks and is opened to learning about the church. When we approached her door, we
were concerned about how she would react to seeing us since there was
a big "No Jehovah's Witnesses" sign on her door. The two of us
were fully aware that we were Mormons but usually signs like this apply to any
form of so called "religious solicitation" Fortunately we were wrong
that time. We visited a few members throughout the day, all of which gave us
some candy. Brother Taylor, was most generous and sent us off with a can
of Sprite and a big bag of chips each! Love that guy!
Hope everybody has had a good week. Wow, in less then 2
months I will be experiencing my first ever Christmas in the mission
field. That should be interesting! Won't be long before that comes. Until next
week, bye!
