Funny: This last Sunday in one of the small branches near our area they usually have a very small turn out for church, but they were setting apart the new branch president and so there were more people than expected. They ran out of bread for passing the sacrament. There was none left in their very small one room building. So, they went out and came back and blessed and passed some skittles one of the Deacons had. It just goes to show "it mattereth not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink when ye partake of the sacrament, if it so be that ye do it with an eye single to my glory remembering unto the father my body and blood which was shed for the remission of your sins." D&C27:2

Spiritual: I got to experience a tender moment this week. Margaret and L'Ijah have four really cute kids that are 4,3,2, and 1. We have been teaching their family how to pray and inviting them to pray together more. Kahliyah (the four-year-old) at our last lesson offered to say the closing prayer. Margaret texted us and told us that Kahliyah has been saying her prayers out loud by herself often. Every day she asks her parents if they can go to church. I truly believe that the young people today are choice spirits that God has put upon the earth at this time for a reason. I feel so blessed to share Christs gospel with them. I know no greater joy than sharing the Love that I have felt from God with others.

Where I'm at: Sister Astle got Emergency Transferred away!!!! I almost went my whole mission without experiencing an ET, but I didn't quite make it. Some Sisters down in Nebraska were struggling, and so She was needed there to help bring the peace. I'm sad that she left our awesome trio, but all is well Sister Kropf and I are going to have an amazing transfer! We are planning for Margaret and Lijah's wedding this Saturday, and they asked us to be bridesmaids! So that will be very fun, and we are very excited. Then they are getting baptized on December 14th!
