Birthday cake Halloween party with Noel This persons decked out Halloween decorations. It was insane! Elder Bentley in his batman pajamas We waited for Janice (one of our investigators who is getting baptized on the 13th) in her front room for 15 minutes. While she was getting ready. We asked her if we should reschedule but she insisted she was almost done with whatever she was doing in her room. She is like 70 so we asked if she needed help but she just kept yelling at her son for 10 minutes straight. She just kept yelling "Terrance!" Elder Brown started busting out laughing and so I couldn't help it either. It was a good memory so we took a selfie haha Hey ya'll. What an awesome week! Last Sunday we had a miracle happen! We met up with one of our investigators after church and he is struggling with the word of wisdom. We were teaching him the plan of salvation when the thought popped into my head that we should give him a baptismal date! So, I did and he accepted! November 27 is his big day and he is super determined to get over his addictions. We are praying for him and he said he'll be able to make it to church next week! We are stoked. Other than that, we had the ward Halloween chili cook off so most of this past week was rushing around inviting every single inactive and less active member to the ward party and it was crazy but awesome! We got rides for two people we wanted to come and not many other were able to make it. The only problem here in Yonkers is nobody has cars so nobody can get to Scarsdale for church or anything! But this less active named Noel came with us and he is awesome. We got to hang out with him and introduce him to a bunch of members. Then we did some more look ups after the party. the next coolest thing was on Sunday we got to go eat at a member’s house. They are the Newman’s and they are really funny. The kids that are 11 and under are all obsessed with flags. If you name a state or country, they can tell you exactly what is on the flag and everything. It was hilarious! One of the youth named Josh is going to be coming out with us to teach lessons and it's gonna be sweet! After dinner, we went over to another member’s house and it turned out they were having a b day party and they made us come in and have cake. It was sweet because I got cake for my b day and it was good too 😉 the Lord provides! Haha we had a lot of appointments cancel so we did a lot of less active look ups and seeking referrals. I've made a goal to always have a referral for the missionaries when I get back because nobody ever has any! Wellll that's actually not true. We had another dinner with a member and he gave us one straight up! It was sweet. Working with members is so key even if you only get one referral in a month. We will hopefully be meeting with him next week! On my actual birthday, we had a few Facebook lessons and those went well! We had to go home early so we bought a pizza on the way home and I put candles in it and it was pretty fun. Love you all! Thanks for the b day wishes and I hope y'all have a fantastic week!
