Hi Family,
A lot happened this week...
To
start off our investigator Andrew is doing really well. We had a
powerful lesson with him about the Sacrament and the word of wisdom. He
committed to living the word of wisdom at the end of the lesson and has
continued to keep his other commitments. However, when Sunday
rolled around Satan was working extra hard...While his fellowship was
on his way to pick him up for church, Andrew took his car on a test drive
that he had been working on for a few weeks. While he was driving the
steering wheel was acting up and made him crash! His car got totaled and
right when his ride showed up his car was getting towed. It was a
blessing Andrew wasn't injured but sadly, he couldn't make it to church.
So please keep Andrew in your prayers!
Thanksgiving
was a lot of fun. The north half of the mission got together and played
volleyball, basketball, and four square for 3 hours. It was pretty
awesome when President and Sister Rasmussen came in and President was
wearing his tennis shoes with his suit! He was ready to play and
dominated in volleyball!! We had a great dinner with the Jarvis family.
The food was heavenly and we were stuffed!
This
week we got approval to ride the mission bikes...when the office elders
dropped them off one had 2 flat tires and the other had a problem with
the chain. Our district leader and his companion fixed them for us -
what a miracle! Unfortunately we are owning (not really) the frumpy
sister missionary look with reflector vests and helmets! I think were
are figuring out how to ride a bikes in skirts!
On Sunday
we taught Gospel Principles on Eternal Families...we had to chuckle
because we are teaching YSAs! I felt the spirit working through us and
it ended up being a great lesson! It got me really excited to go to the
temple next Saturday - I can't wait.
Yesterday
(the reason p-day is today) we set up for the Maple Valley Nativity! It
is a pretty big deal. We set up with the zone from 12-4 and then for
FHE we set up from 6-8. I have never set up so many Christmas trees and
fluffed garland before. I am really looking forward to it this weekend.
We have passed out a ton of invitations and had a lot of good responses.
Last year over 700 non-members came!
I hope you all have a great week!
Much Love,
Sister Wynder
