Alice is a little old lady who had throat cancer this year. Last week we invited her to be baptized and she is very excited to. She lives in a trailer park all alone because in January her husband got really sick and now lives in a home for old people. She loves the gospel. The only problem is she has a hole in her throat and she can't get water in it. We called President and asked him how we were going to baptize her if she can't go under the water... We are still trying to figure that one out. Any ideas?
Dennis is finally getting BAPTIZED!!! We have been working with him for 12 weeks now and he is actually doing it:)) We have been pushing his date back for weeks but after we had a bold lesson with him about not procrastinating the day of his repentance I think he realized how important it was for him to be baptized. Saturday at 10 oclockis the big day! All of you are invited! Catch the next plane up here because it is a big day.
A less active man called us up this week because he believed someone broke into his apartment and stabbed his bible. When we came over to check on him he was so frantic because he thinks he is being stalked by an assassin! Has says his drinks are poisoned and swore that he would not drink water ever again hahaha. We checked his bible and there was a tiny cut in one page and it was obvious that it was from his cat! Hahaha people are crazy in this small town. We think that all the drugs he has done in his life has made him a bit off his rocker!
Saturday was a special day! We went to the temple for the first time since I have been here! I love having a temple we can visit. Our mission will start doing special temple trips for new members every month from now on so I could possibly be going every month! The next one is December 5th. It is so great to see new members have this special experience. Afterward we went over to the new members house for dinner. We could notice that she was happier that day. As we go to the temple, as we remember the covenants we make there, we will be better able to overcome those temptations and to bear our trials that we face in life. In the temple we can find peace and comfort.
Next week are transfers! There is a chance that I will be leaving so I know everyone is dying to send me letters and packages but after Thursday try to hold off to send them until I know where I am going:)
We live next to a grave yard and so we decided to go on a field trip to teach the dead people about the Plan of Salvation hahaha. It went well I think they want to be baptized!
This is our district

Everyone here has a few hundred guns:) A guy was showing off his shooting skills on the birds last Tues.

We were knocking on the cemetery door but no one answered
