Hello
family! It sounds like you guys are all doing well!! Also sounds like
utah is getting cold... Tennessee is so bipolar... One day it's super
cold, the next in the high 60s or 70s.... But luckily I have my handy
dandy knee, so I can tell if it's going to get colder or not. Its a
little achy right now so let's see how the week unfolds... Haha this
week was a good week!!! We taught a total of 30 lessons!! Cool right?! I
was pretty excited. I'm still trying to figure out how this week went
by so dang fast... I seriously can't believe that this week is
thanksgiving!!! It will be fun to have Brandon and Haley home this next
week! Don't do anything too fun without me ;) haha and now Brandon can
eat all the garlic he wants and I won't be there telling him how gross
he smells... Haha But maybe don't sleep in my room... Who knows how long
that smell could stay in my room.... Hahaha just kidding :)
This
week was really good but also just kind of disappointing.... Satan is
the worst! Things went well with Felipe when we had another lesson with
sister noble. The spirit was so strong and wow it was great. Then it
just goes back to the same old... Felipe just doesn't want to put in the
effort... We decided we are just going to give him some space and time
to realize what he wants and needs to do with his life. We got Irene
and her kids to come to the Wednesday night activities and it was great.
They loved it. We then just had a lesson with them. It went really good
and then Irene said the most heartfelt prayer ever. On Thursday we also
had a really good lesson about the Book of Mormon. We showed the Mormon
message of elder Hollands testimony of the Book of Mormon and it is so
powerful. You could tell that it really touched Irenes heart. She
definitely seemed more interested in reading now. But then Satan got a
hold of their hearts and they didn't come to church on Sunday :( Irene
kind of has depression and anxiety... And some days are just better than
the others... We are still working so hard with them. Please pray for
them to come to church!! But we did have a cool miracle. There is
another family in the Ward, the Hales family and they are amazing. The
mom is Mexican and the dad went to Costa Rica on his mission so he
speaks fluent Spanish. Well they have told us about their friend Franco
who is interested in the church. He came to the breakfast for dinner
dinner at the church and then he came to church yesterday!! It was
great. We didn't have much time to talk with him after, but he stayed
for all 3 hours! The cool part though, we were walking to some
investigators houses yesterday and guess who we see driving? Franco!! He
pulled off the side of the road and we ended up talking and teaching
him for about and hour!! He said that he has been to a lot of different
churches but he just feels something different here.... He is so
amazing!!! ALSO another tender mercy!!! We got a referral from the
English elders in Thompson station so we went to go visit them and they
are amazing!! It's a mom, Angie a dad Eddie and two kids Eddie Jr. (4)
and Amy (2) and they love the gospel. They have been seeing English
elders for the past 2 years but not much has happened.... And now Angie
just loves the gospel and wants to get baptized. The only problem is
that they aren't married.... And that is all that is stopping them from
getting baptized... So hopefully we will be hearing some wedding bells
soon... :)
Thanksgiving
should be fun this week! We are allowed to got to two dinners. We are
going to one with an American family, the cooks so that should be really
fun! Then we are going to another at our less active, margaritas
house!! It should be fun to have like an American Hispanic thanksgiving.
I'm a little sad to be missing thanksgiving this year... But it just
sounds like so much fun!! Dinner at aunt cindys and then at grannies on
Friday! Is grannie having more missionaries over again?? I wish I has a
couple like grannie and grandpa in my district. They are just so dang
cute! :) sad to hear about the Utes.... I actually knew about the game
before your guys email.... Oops. Haha we went to dinner Saturday night
and I just was sitting there and I realized the ute game was on tv..... I
only looked for about 1 minute..... There was only 4 minutes left of
the game.... It was sad... I was hoping maybe I would see you guys in
the stands... Hahaha
Well this week was good and I look forward to this next week too :) I love you all so much! And happy thanksgiving!!! :)
Love always,
Hermana Lizzy Brown
