This has been another great week! Minus all the people failing on us it was a successful week, which is interesting because usually when people fail it isn't successful... But with all the people we have and good planning we did a lot of good things.
This week we were able to meet some new people, they're great and I'm excited to work with them. They are both friends of members. The first one was a cool miracle, she was going in for surgery and her friend, a member, asked if she wanted a blessing. She said yes and this member has a non member husband who we are teaching right now so she called us to call the elders to go give her a blessing. So The four of us went and we shared a message about what blessings are and then the elders gave her a blessing of comfort for her upcoming surgery. After the surgery this week we met with her and taught her the restoration and now she is reading the Book of Mormon. Such a blessing.
The other new friend we have is a friend of another member who we met at an activity last week. We went to the member's house and taught him the restoration. It was a good lesson and the member is really excited about it.
We also had zone conference this week, it was really great and uplifting. We talked about how to work with members better . One topic that is new that was brought up is us taking our friends to seminary and institute. It is a great idea! We did it with our one friend who is getting baptized this Saturday and it was awesome. He loved it and met a ton of new friends!
We had an amazing American thanksgiving feast after the conference. I was amazed, we are talking turkey, potatoes, cranberry sauce. It was phenomenal. I love Hermana Pack and I'm so grateful she was willing to do that for us. Hermana Larsen was also there working away, they are amazing ladies that cook REALLY well.
The conference was on Wednesday so the actual day on Thursday our district did its own thanksgiving feast... It was great, we made rolls and pumpkin pie. We ate chicken instead of turkey but it was absolutely amazing.
It was an amazing week, we are getting ready for Christmas and the new video that came out on Christmas.mormon.org. I am so excited for the Christmas spirit, it makes talking about Christ easier.
Love you all,
Hermana West
