Halloween Fun

This week was really defined by preparing a couple of different investigators for their upcoming baptisms.  To start, Henry was interviewed a second time and was told that he can be baptized in three weeks which is following transfers.  There is a high chance that they will move me out and I won't get to see the baptism, but at least it is still going through.  We also got to do an interview for Taylie, and she is set to do her baptism in Saint George this coming weekend which is also awesome.  It has been fun to learn and grow with them and watch the Gospel come into their lives.

Along with teaching those two, we also taught several other people as well.  We got to teach a couple who had their records removed from the church who want to return.  During the lesson their mother who they were staying with told us she was listening and that she wants to join in on the discussions as well and that she has been searching for the truth.  It was definitely a miracle to see.  We also did a lot of contacting and trying to set up future lessons, as well as service at Saint Vinnies and the pig farm again where we had to herd a bunch of escaped pigs into their fenced off area due to a whole bunch of rain the day before that brought down one of the fences.

This week has also been fairly Halloween heavy as well as far as ward activities.  The first one happened on Thursday where the Elders quorum president tricked us into thinking we were coming for dinner but was instead a Halloween party where the entire quorum was present.  There were quite a few costumes and we got to stay for a little bit.  It was fun.  The next day was a ward trunk or treat where we got to say hi to a bunch of the members and have several non members that were at a nearby trunk or treat for another church think that we were dressing up as missionaries rather than actually being missionaries, which was funny.

Overall, that has been the week.  Due to transfers occurring next p day, there is a chance that I will not be able to write next week, but time will tell.  Until then, thank you for reading and for all of the support you all give!
