"Thanksgiving was great. We asked the lady with whom we had lunch if she could, bake some sweet potatoes. And bless her heart, we ate sweet potatoes for lunch!! It was very delicious. Like Edward, we have the planning session during the morning on Thursdays, so we were able to cook rice, potatoes, beans, and the dough for pumpkin chocolate chip cookies for preparation for the night. After we got back to the apartment we cooked (listen to this) honey roasted mango salmon. Mom, you got to try it it is amazing!!!! and we ate all of the above mentioned food including a salad to go with it all. But...the next day we felt incredibly sick...haha. But hey we had our thanksgiving meal!! :) haha."
"After we went to take the other amazing family we have who have baptismal dates for December 14. She has two little girls and a baby. We have a lot of baby hills where we live, and so its always a fun hassel to take them to church. But we succeeded! We go up hills, across bridges (where the kids pretend the crocadiles are going to eat us) and to the bus to go to church. The members are kicking in, and they are really welcoming her to the ward. She came to the Relief Society Activity which helped her get to know the members more. She is a testament that when an investigator ACTS they RECEIVE. Because she is coming to church, activities, and a lot of family home evenings with members, she is receiving the blessings for her actions. Ruth is poor, and so a member is going to help her do little things like make jam, to help her receive some salary. Her children are angels and LOVE church. The church system is incredible. She said that her life began to change for the better the moment she began listening to us. She and her kids are a lot happier. We are here to be happy:):) The gospel of Jesus Christ is was brings us true happiness."
