Ah I love it the
mission is going great! Thanksgiving was fantastic. We went and ate at a members house and after
we ate got to play a game since it was P Day and our Mission President said we
could stay for dinner longer than an hour! It was Wacky 6 it was a ton of fun I
don't know if it was because it is actually a really fun game or if it is just
I have not played a game in a while! After we went to a completely deserted
grocery store. Yeah Thanksgiving is great.
We actually got in to visit some people that night which was great. Heather is still progressing excellently! She
is super excited for the 15th and we have actually gotten it worked out so she
can go on a ward temple trip on the 18th.
She already got to visit the Seattle Temple and loved it. You were probably wondering about the title
of this current message. Well it is
exactly what is sounds like DRAMA! Basically almost every guy in the ward is
either in love or thinks Heather is really pretty. It has created some chaos on the part of the
missionaries as she is so nice she just invites them anywhere. It got to the point where our ward mission
leader had to step in, lets just say she had no idea and having a boyfriend
just made it that much easier for her to turn down. Things are going better with her and we have
figured out how to teach our lesson this Wednesday(Law of Chastity) with only
one guy there! Yeah that one was uncontrollable but they have been friends since
High School and he isn't a problem unless you get a handful of guys around her
then he plays big brother! Another girl
we are teaching actually works for our Relief Society president though she was
found through tracting. She has
basically been ?atheist? (the one that doesn't believe in God) her whole
life. She just prayed and found out
there was a God. She also prayed to know
if Joseph Smith was a prophet and the Book of Mormon was true. The answer that came to her mind was,
"Keep Reading." I have high hopes for her! We are also teaching quite
a few Less Actives. Russell is still progressing and I think he actually said
hi to one male this week! It's a work in progress.( He has special needs) Stephanie was able to go clothes shopping at
Ross and found a cheap interview outfit.
She is working with the employment center to get a job. She seems a lot happier. Tiffany we just started with this week. She wanted to take the lessons. We were at her house for Thanksgiving and
didn't talk much about the lessons.
Saturday we went over to her house at her request and her parents
basically in shock that we were back asked what we needed. They had no idea she wanted to come back to
the church. Her mom sat in the lesson
and we could tell she was so grateful that her daughter knew something was missing. Not only is the church something the daughter
wants but in one short lesson we were able to see the testimony of the mother
grow. I think that is all for lessons. We have been able to visit quite a few people
oh and I have been asked ( sort of ) to sing a solo in zone conference. I will
be singing I Know That My Redeemer Lives on Thursday for that. I am so excited I will get to see my old
companion. Today was pretty epic we
played Laser Tag. I came in first place
one round and second place the rest. By
the fourth round the elder were all skipping and twirling to the music playing
in the room. I can honestly tell you
watching them slow motion skip and ballerina twirl in a Laser Tag room while
listening to Owl City's Fireflies is a sight to see. It was absolutely hysterical. We are continuing to love our new car seeing
as the air bags now work. It took us a
while to figure out how they turned on so we had to take in into a Subaru
Dealership. I have to say they look a
lot different then I remember them being when my dad worked there! Ha ha. Mom, Dad I hope you are still alive and
enjoying the cruise. I don't think there
are any icebergs but still try and be safe.
Not much here on the entertainment front but I will try and keep you
updated. Also will hopefully sent
pictures soon but probably not until next week.
Sorry about the delay! I love you all stay safe!

P.S. Prayer works, it is amazing how many times we have
prayed for something simple like our GPS working or something stupid and it
comes true. When you need something that
you feel is important ask God what you can do!
P.S.S. Time for the Christmas Holiday! If you get a chance
to listen to any of Jackie Evancho's Christmas CD very good! We tried to buy
some Christmas CD's that were religious and we came out with her CD and some
church choir thing! Stupid store Forgotten Carols comes to this state and they
don't even have the CD. Also where's the
Mo-Tab?? I mean come on!!! Don't you know there are missionaries in your state
that can only listen to the Birth of Christ related Christmas music....any way
that was my little vent for this week.
Shaylin Again!
