Something awesome happened this week.....we got a baptismal date!! We have been better at being bold and not afraid to ask if they would be baptized in the first lesson. He will be baptized on December 24 and then confirmed on Christmas! We are so excited!! Oh and he asked us if and how does he go on a mission!! This dude is super prepared! We are dreaming of a white Christmas!
For Thanksgiving I ate two meals. I ate way to much the first one and when it came time for our second meal I felt like man vs. food. Our first dinner was at a less actives house so that was good that we got in. He had a couple of his non member friends over and we played this really cool dice and marble game. I haven't had more adrenaline pumping through my veins my whole mission. The game is almost exactly like the game Sorry. It came down to just rolling a three and I win. But if anyone passes you then you have to go back home. I had a dude right on my tale about 4 spaces away. He roles a 2 so now he is only 2 spaces from me. I role and 1 so now I need a two. It's his turn again and I think God was showing me mercy. He rolled a 2 and was right on my rear. I do the old blow in your hands before you role and the dice fell out of my hands. The room went silent waiting to see what I got. It lands face up this a 2!! I win! Whoot! Haha we are now invited over every Thursday for dinner.
For the second Thanksgiving dinner we went over to an investigators house and she invited her family and neighbor. We got to talking and her daughter and her neighbor both moved to Nashville to get in the music industry. Both didn't make it but they are super talented! Her daughter can play the harmonica so well! She showed me how to "bend the note" so I should be a blues player in no time! Her neighbor has an amazing voice and a really talented song writer. I don't know how she didn't make it. We taught all that were there and even some are now going to come to FHE! I love to see the Lord put people in our paths who are ready to hear the word.
Those are the highlights this week. I hope y'all had a blessed Thanksgiving and now on to Christmas! If you haven't seen the new Christmas video the church put out called #LighttheWorld I encourage you to watch it! It is 25 service opportunities in 25 days starting December 1! Have a blessed week and stay cool!
