Monday
We
had Super awesome lesson with JZ with Brother Laney and Dasha and we
finished talking about the Plan of Salvation and talked more about how
the Holy Ghost works. It went really well. JZ is awesome to teach!
Then
we had a Family Home Evening activity that we were in charge of and it
was a success! :) yahoo! Thank you Mom for showing me how to plan
parties and play games. We had a lesson on what a FHE (Family Home Evening) is and then we
played minute to win it type games. It was a lot of fun. We do wish
more investigators and less actives came but ward members came and they
all got to meet JZ and that was super awesome! :) We were really glad
the activity went well, we were nervous that no one would come.
Tuesday
We had district meeting at the stake center and after that we watched Meet
the Mormons! And it was super awesome! I invite ALL of you to check it
out! They show six different families and there life and that Mormons
are normal people. One of the families is in Napal and it made me think
if my awesome neighbors from school, Tenzing and Tashi so that was super
cool! Everyone should go watch it. :)
Here is a trailer for it:

We
ended up going over to Sister Larsen's to call this lady with her but
that didn't work out so we shared a little message with her. Then we
went and had dinner with Sister Elisian and her adorable baby August
(Augie) it was tasty and we did her dishes, she told us it was fine but
we, well actually Sister Lepule did them, I did help a little bit but
she did all the work and I scooped the ice cream :)
Then
on the bus ride home I was by these ladies who spoke Spanish and man I
don't understand 98% of what they say???I should know more with how many
years of Spanish I have taken....maybe I should admit that but oh
well.
Wednesday
I
can't remember what we did in the morning...so it must not been
exciting but our member cancelled on us for our lesson with Chris so we
stressed for a while to find a member but then Sister Drnec saved the
day and the lesson was so amazing and she is a perfect fellowshipper and
she is coming with us this week! Yay!

Then we
had a lesson with JZ at the church and there was a relief society
activity so everyone was busy with that and we had a Sister agree to
join us but she got distracted but as they all came in everyone would
say hi to him so that was great! And we taught the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. JZ always has great questions and we laughed a lot it went well.
JZ kept saying man you have like a secret meeting haha
Then
we ended the night at the Relief society activity and ate dinner, I
didn't realize how hungry I was ha and got to talk to some of the
members so that was good.
Thursday
We
met with Shawn and Rayna today with Sister Decker and it was so
awesome! They are both really sweet but they told us they are fine right
now so we don't know if we will still be teaching them. We will
call them in a few weeks. We taught the Plan of Salvation which was
good. Sister Decker spoke a lot of Chinese with them and man there was
such a sweet spirit there! We didn't understand all that was being said
but we had a good idea of it! It was pretty cool! Rayna really perked up
more this time, I think just because she could understand it more. They
are going to this Chinese church and they pretty much told them we are
bad but I think we cleared that up and they know that we are good
people. So hopefully they will have a desire to learn more later. They
are so cool and I just love them.
We went
and saw Theola and Leory. Leory made us pizza! It was good and we
were super hungry so a perfect combination. :) we sang them a song and
they loved it and it was a good time and started helping make greens.
Then
on our way to scripture study we had an interesting experience at the bus
stop...for awhile we had a great conversation with this lady and then a
drunk lady came and sat in the middle and the our cool lady friend
started talking and gave me reason to get up so I didn't have to smell
the beer anymore..that stuff is so nasty! And another creepy person came
and started talking about full moons and I don't even know...but it was
weird.

But Scripture study was great and we
had an awesome turn out! We talked about the 10 Commandments and Elder
Christensen made yummy cookies. :)
Friday
We
went and helped Christy and Billie do there laundry and we were there
forever because the dryers decided to not work and only one of them did
and we had four loads to dry...yea
h that wasn't fun. But we helped clean
there apartment and it was still a fun time. They are great!
Then
we had a super awesome lesson with Chantelle and started talking about
the Restoration that lead into Temples and Marriage and different things
and we invited her to be baptized on December 6
and she said Yes!! Ahh we are so excited for her! She is super cool! I
met her my first day here by a miracle because she just moved and we
didn't have her address and then we got it but we hadn't been able to
meet for a while and we are meeting with her and she is even reading the
Book of Mormon! So that is pretty cool. :)
Saturday
We
spent the morning doing Stop bys and trying to contact all of our
referrals. We get so much in is area it is so crazy. But it is fun!
Then
we had dinner with Theola and Leory and ate some greens which is like
spinach. Dad you would love it! And shared some scriptures from 3 Nephi.
We also had a nice cream cone and then I made Theola another one! It
was pretty cute. :) she was going to come to church but she wasn't
feeling too good but hopefully soon.

And we ended the night Planning and that was awesome! And we are going to have a great week! :)
Sunday
Church
of course was great! And the Crooks were awesome and brought us lunch!
Yummy yummy! :) they brought Enchiladas and I've been wanting those
things forever! So it was rather nice! We bought stuff to make some but
haven't had time yet but maybe this week. :)
JZ
didn't come to church today because he was finishing a paper but we
still had a great lesson with him at the Rudds and it was awesome. Ezra
there cute little baby kept
laughing and JZ was like "why are
you laughing at me?" It was funny and cute haha. We taught JZ the Word
of Wisdom and he is already following it! Yay! And we taught a little
about the priesthood and blessings and it went really well the Rudds are
awesome! :)
On our way to do some stop bys we
had an awesome Pow wow at the bus stop where we got to talk to four
people and one of the guys was like wait you are really from Utah? He
was excited...usually it's just like yeah...I'm from Utah ha they were
all super cool! And it was such a fun talk and the ten minutes waiting
for the bus went by fast, I actually wanted more time to talk so we
could of gotten there information but we left them with a card so
hopefully they will look the church up.
We
ended the night with Misty and it actually went rather well we read from
this months ensign on Nephi's now because that is where we are reading
the Book of Mormon with her. Then she fed us dinner, which was tasty.
love you all and I hope you have a super day! And a super awesome week!
Love,
💕Sister North 🐒
