Nov 23 and 30

Nov - 23rd - I have some neat new investigators to talk about . We stopped and chatted a couple times with a guy who lives in our apartment complex but recently we were able to hand him over to the English missionaries as an actual investigator. Apparently he is pretty solid. Also, to use our generation's vernacular, "he's a trip, man.". Which means he is somewhat of an interesting fellow as well. Apparently, right after the sacrament prayer finished he said "Praise the Lord!" in the middle of the meeting. Then during the Sunday School class, he was reading in the Gospel Principles book and said something to the effect of "this baptism thing sounds like something I'd like to get in to."

We hav an investigator of our own who is looking for a job. He has come to church twice now. He also has interesting open-minded questions. He was raised Catholic, but has some doubts on Christianity in general. Fortunately, we just happen to have a whole 'nother testament of Jesus Christ to share with him!! We still have another investigator with a baptismal date set for December 6th!

W've been practicing for a musical number. We'll be singing "Silent Night" and "Mary Did You Know". The sun comes down really early these days. Missionaries really lost an hour of sun when the time fell back. Please relay my thanks to Uncle Lee. I got a card from him this past week.

Nov 30th - Yep, we're having some success these days. We had seven investigators at sacrament meeting. Two of them, though, we'll be giving to other missionaries because they're not QUITE in our area.

For Thanksgiving in the morning, we did service at a masonic lodge, putting Thanksgiving meals together for people.

Our investigator may not be quite ready for the December 6th baptismal date but she is giving us referrals to teach other people. She LOVES church and all there is to learn. Transfers are this week and I will be staying and my senior companion will be going to a new area.
