Kaliana : Week 44

What a wonderful week!! I swear, the time just keeps getting faster and faster and Im not quite sure what to do about it!!

The weeks seem to pass so quickly that by the time I have the opportunity to send an email home I'm not even sure what happened that week!!

My companion and I are still getting along fabulously. We have a grand time preaching the gospel together! We've decided to make it a tradition to spend every P day eve having a sleepover in our living room just for the fun of it.

Something really funny happened htis week. On saturday morning we got a call from one of our investigators named "Jay". He informed us that he wanted to go to the temnple visitors center that very day and either he was going to drive down all by hiimself, or we could find a member and we could all go down. So we were scrambling to find a member to come, but no one was answering their phones. So I had a grand idea. I started searching through our area book and came across a random woman named Lucy who used to be taking lessons from the missionaries. I called her up and discovered that she didnt have very good english. She's from Ghana. And after trying for several minutes to communicate, she handed the phone to someone who had good english and I invited them to come to the temple visitors center. However, she didnt normally leave the house, but she said that if we wanted to come visit her then we could drop by and have a lesson with her!

Eventually we found someone else to come to visitors center with us and we had a grand adventure visiting that.

Thanksgiving was SO wonderful. And quite filling. We had dinners right after each other and one of the families was asian so they really wanted us to eat and eat and eat. Before we started our dinners we made sure to pray that we wouldnt get sick from so much food, and by golly. prayers work. Who knew?;) ha ha

On the eve of thanksgiving we had exchanges with other missionaries and I got to hang out with sister Jorgensen for 24 hours. We had several really interesting experiences. First, it snowed on our exchange. Then as we were about to leave a particular house, she stopped and said, "wait....for some reason we need to visit someone in this area, but I dont know who it is..." So we headed off to a random less active family who we felt good about seeing. As we were pulling down this really sketchy driveway, a song came on the cd that was singing , "turn aaarouuuunnnnd, turn arooound" pretty much over and over in the song. So I was feeling quite sketched out, especially as we drove past a supposedly haunted house. But we had felt good about going, so we continued. And long story short, it ended up being a really awesome experience!!! But anywho....

Yup! SO thats about it for the week! love you all!! :)
