Happy Days

Well, just a few of them. Then we had one big headache.

First the happy news: The B family is getting baptized on December 2nd! They all passed their interviews with flying colors, and the two oldest boys came out beaming from ear to ear! They are all so happy and it helps me remember what missionary work is all about. The headache, on the other hand, was simply the day we spent almost 3 hours trying to fill out paper work. Do you know the people here don't keep record of anything? We had a really good laugh, talking about whose parents were born where, and what year the marriage(s) were (both the B parents had been married before--ayi that was a nightmare). Sister B could only tell us the names of her first two children, and that they had been born a year apart, but not the years they were born...

My companion and I are getting dresses made for the occasion, and I'll be sending pictures next week of the big day!

This Sunday we got to celebrate Thanksgiving with the B family, and boy was that food good! I stuffed myself silly and then even found room for the pumpkin and apple pie that the P's had made and served with ice cream. All us missionaries played a few games, and we really just enjoyed the evening.

I do like the summers back home, but I'm pretty sure I'll love the winter when it comes once I'm home. Here it feels like July all the time, and I could do with some snow. The coolest I've ever felt here was still not cold enough to really need a jacket. The rain is even warm, and only comes once in a while, but I'm told that its going to change.

On Saturday we're having a Branch Christmas activity, and us Missionaries are doing something... but what it is I have no idea... We're meant to practice our whatever on Tuesday, and I really hope for a miracle!

Well, my friends, it has been another wonderful week here in the Celestial Kingdom of Areas, and the work is only skyrocketing from here! Like Elder Holland said last spring, "It is never too late so long as the Master says there is still time!"

I love you all so very much!
