It's Raining; It's Pouring and We don't have any Bike Fenders!

Good Morning to you! Good Morning to you! The weather is crazy and changing to winter. Good Morning to you! Good Morning to you!

I hope you heartily enjoyed my little song. I know I did. Ps. Looking outside, it is gloomy, wet, windy and cold. I feel like I'm bundled up to my eyeballs. 

So how are you all? And the weather, what's it like? Are you up to your eyeballs in snow yet?

Well, I can happily say that I have lots of good things to share this week and to review from last week. 

We have done a lot of service this week. I love it! We opened an opportunity with a Thrift Store that's just across the street from our area. Serving there is a lot of fun! I Love it! When we started, we were organizing the "library" so that they could fit more books and movies out to be sold. The next time we stopped by, we helped pull a bunch of items that had been sitting on the shelf for 6 weeks. Awesome! Although, it's quite terrifying to sort through a bunch of stacked plates and cups. Yikes! Talk about an accident waiting to happen. *Crash, Boom and glass everywhere* Not my favorite, but I successfully did it without losing a single plate. WIN! 

We drew some more Plan of Salvation pictures in the park. This time on a much smaller scale. It was a lot of fun. Although someone wasn't appreciative of our artwork and scribbled all over them and dumped water on them a couple days later. SAD! But hopefully those who did see it liked it and went to Mormon.org to learn more. 

Thursday was the best. We interviewed with President Brown and had district meeting. The best thing about Thursday was knowing that it was Nathan's 19th birthday! BOOM!!!! Well, it was the second best thing. The best thing was teaching Carly again. We received permission to teach her. YAY! But whoa! It was an intense lesson. So was the one we had last night. I just love Carly so much. She is so strong and so persevering, and she has a strong desire to know for herself. I hope that she continues praying, reading the Book of Mormon and feeling the Spirit. MUCH LOVE! 

Halloween was an adventure. We had the Halloween party with the ward which was fun. Most of the costumes were super cute. One family dressed up as Frozen; another family dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood; there was a group of zombies and even Mary Poppins and Bert the Chimney Sweep was there. What did you all dress up as?

Halloween night was pretty calm. We were in at 6pm. And there were hardly any trick or treater's out. They were all in Old Town making a trick or treat carnival/parade of it. Great fun! 

We did a lot of tracting on Saturday. No one wanted to learn more, but at least they were friendly to us. I also learned about the Eucharist from one lady we talked to. Tracting isn't the most effective work, but it gets us out in the community and allows us to invite others to Come Unto Christ, so it fulfills our purpose.        

I'm sending you a file of what I learned from my Personal Study this morning. I hope it make sense. 

LOVE YOU ALL!!!
