Week 8 Nov 11, 2013 - Illinois

Hello!

So this week was alright, we did a lot!

We did a bible study with one of our investigators... So that was interesting. Haha i don't know how much i liked it...

 We went on exchanges and i went with Sister McCarrey to the city and we found some potentials! We were just ringing doorbells.. funny thing happened, we heard like super loud rap music, we rang the bell and it was a Christmas song! And this kid answers the door and says i'm muslim and closes the door. Ha we were like, uhh what? So that was really cool. Haha. We also talked with a recent convert and he is the best member missionary! So we helped him think of ways he could share the gospel more often and how to bring it up, it was awesome. (Use Mormon language;))

On Saturday we went to this place called Feed My Starving Children, we did a ward service project there. We put bags of potatoes together to send to kids that don't have food. It was really cool to see how happy it made everyone. We even got to taste the potatoes that we helped pack.. I love living the the US ha. those weren't the best things i've tasted..

Yesterday was invitation Sunday, super cool. One of our investigators, Brenda came, but left half way through. I saw lots of people that had friends with them but they disappeared right after it ended! We taught the Restoration for Sunday school and there was one non member :) So it was good. Then Sister Spackman and i got to go to Sandy's baptism! That was great! That was my first time meeting Sandy and she is such a sweet lady. There is just something different about convert baptisms. i loved it. Sister Spackman gave an awesome talk about baptism and the Holy Ghost and had people crying ha. it was a really awesome baptism. :)
So we have LOTS to do this week. OHHHH by the way, if any of your friends want to know what a mission is all about or want to know more about the gospel, I'm on facebook! Sister-Janelle Holden and on November 20th, we will have Ipads! insane. so we will be able to skype and do all that cool stuff. Haha
I love you all! Keeping reading your scriptures and use Mormon language ;) haha
com muito amor!!
Sister Holden
