Frankenstorm Arrives!

Hurricane Sandy has apparently acquired a nickname, "Frankenstorm."

Luckily, we haven't been affected hardly at all. Mostly just lots of wind and a "fizzy" rain. It's really not that exciting. It could be that we're pretty far inland though.

We had a good week. Lots of people stood us up this week which was disappointing, but it was still a good week. :)

We went and did some shopping around last Monday. We found a Target in our area! I haven't been to Target in over a year.
We found some good deals which was great!

Our investigator, Candy stood us up on Tuesday so we went and stopped by a less active/recent convert family (the Drakes). They are great! Sis. Drake had actually just been talking with Sis. Swift the day before and was talking about how she wanted us to come by and teach the lessons again and then, we show up on her doorstep! So, that went well. We brought her brownies and she told us we were way better than the elders :]  We were able to finally get up with our investigator, Charmaina afterwards as well. In the evening we went and taught the activity day girls in the 2nd ward the restoration with the cups. They all thought it was the best thing since sliced bread.

Wednesday was District Meeting. We discussed the importance of teaching by the spirit. Our district really is hilarious this transfer. They played a game of "ninja" afterwards which was entertaining to say the least. We were also able to have a lesson with Dennis and Reshell and that went great! Dennis asked us before we could ask him about baptism. He asked us "So, if I wanted to...you know...join myself with the church...what exactly would I have to do?" It was so great. We were able to help him understand what was expected of him we set a date for him and Reshell to get baptized on the 24th of Nov.
We took brownies to the Wakefield family (we just started teaching his wife last week). She talked our ears off for a good 20 minutes and all I have to say is that sugary goodness soften hearts.
We had a really good lesson with the Coombs/Freschette family afterwards. They are also a part member family. We taught the first part of the Plan of Salvation and it went very well. Bro. Freschette asked a lot of questions and was really interested in the whole idea of the pre-earth life.

Thursday was insane! We volunteered to teach early morning seminary for the Bishop's wife in the 2nd ward. We are such brown nosers... Teaching early morning seminary entailed that we wake up at 4:30 in the morning to make it on time by 6 am. I can now say I have experienced "real seminary" and I don't think I would have survived living outside of UT. No one fell asleep so that was good! Those youth are so dedicated. We met with Sis. Donaldson in the afternoon. She is doing really well! We also taught her the Plan of Salvation. She didn't remember anything about it so it was a good review and we definitely all left feeling edified. I love the Plan of Salvation. :]
So remember how I told you about Mona who hasn't been interested in meeting with missionaries forever? We called her this week and she actually let us set up a time to meet. She just cancels before our appointment ever happens, but we do have an appointment set up for friday. We are hoping she won't cancel again.

Friday was just everyone and their dog standing us up. Nothing too exciting to report on. We tracted a lot and planted many seeds!

Sunday was very similar. At least Daisy came to church!

The Plan of Salvation is true

My time is up, but I love you all!

Have a wonderful week.

Love, Sister J
