Halloween in Tillsonburg!

November 1, 2016

Steve is playing a little on his knee and it is still popping and clicking when he does. I think we are going to have him go to a doctor and get it checked out.

He just got his coat for 300$. He said it is pretty sweet and is made to use your body heat to keep you warm. Lets all pray it works because he is going to be pretty cold very soon!!

Letter from Steve........

It's been a pretty fantastic week!
     We carved pumpkins last week as missionaries during preperation day. Shockingly despite my incredible artistic ability I didn't win any of the prizes...
     We had our last District meeting of the transfer, which is pretty nuts! I can't believe how much faster this transfer has seemed to go than the last one! If this is a normal thing for how fast it keeps going and keeps getting faster that's pretty scary! This is the last week of the transfer so I guess next week we'll both know what's going to happen haha.
     We did have an absolute miracle this week where we by chance tracted into an older women named Nancy who has met with missionaries before a few months ago, but we dind't know that. She has been reading the Book of Mormon every night and said that she knows logically that the Book of Mormon is true, that Joseph Smith was a prophet, and that this is the restored church on the earth! She just wants to make sure she gets a sure answer form God. We met with her again and she set a date to be baptized on November 26th! It was my first time having someone accept a date to work towards EVER! So that was pretty heavenly. Also she came to church yesterday for the first time! Unfortunetly she was very embarassed because she has a very hard time walking and has had a stroke and whatnot, but everyone was very nice to her and hopefully she will come next week and keep working towards baptism!
     Sherry has backtracked a bit unfortunetly, but we're still very optimistic that she will eventually get baptized and be wonderful when she decides to commit!
     Tonight we don't get to really do anything after preperation day because they don't like us out on Halloween(that says something haha). So we will be weekly planning after dinner at Mary Fishers, basically no proselyting for an entire day... It will still be fun haha!
     I am convinced more and more of the truth of the message we share as missionaries! I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ did in actuality appear to Joseph Smith, Joseph Smith in actuality restored the same church to the earth that Jesus himself established. I have recieved a real witness that this is true. And just like Paul who saw an angel or Joseph seeing God the Father and Jesus Christ, it doesn't matter how much persecution or opinions there are on how I know or if I know, it will never change the fact that I have in reality recieved a witness from God that these things are true. I love Jesus Christ more than ever before! Have a great week!
