My 2nd Halloween

Well the transfer is nearly half over, and I cant believe it. Its unreal to me that I am approaching my 2nd set of holidays. I never thought I would. Well everyone keeps telling us that on Halloween is when it starts to get cold, so we are anxiously awaiting for that. I know that 87 degree weather is good, but I am over it and want a change.We dont have any big plans for Halloween, we have to be in at 6 but with the joy of living with members we are going to help hand out candy. woo. That is about as exciting as it gets for us. oh well.

We have had quite the amazing week. Our investigator Jessica who decided to take the lessons last week is loving it. Her Dad is a pentecostal minister and doesnt know that she has been learning from the Mormons. Yesterday she told us that she quit one of her jobs so that she could come to church on Sunday. Can you believe that? A girl who isnt even a member is making bigger sacrifices than most members do to come to church on Sunday. I love it. We watched Testaments last night and we were all crying. 5 girls in one room, not good.

Dwayne is doing great. We had him attend a baptism so that he could see what it was like. He loved it. We teach him tomorrow. He is getting excited for Nov. 16, his big day.We have been fasting a lot lately for the missionary efforts in our ward, and we are really starting to see blessings. We got two member referrals the other day in our family ward, something that never happens. We were pretty excited.

On a side note. The members we live with are hilarious. Well the guy is. He is 80 years old and is one of the funniest old men I have ever met. I will definately be getting a picture. As we were doing service for him the other day he sat the three of us down and started giving us dating advice. He said "sometimes the real jewels are the uglies." So funny. His name is Bob Fuller. I wish everyone had the opportunity to meet him.

Well the threesome down in Apple Valley is hanging in there doing the best we can to represent.well stay classy.

loves sister cain.

And then there were three....







Well yet another transfer. Something a little bit different happened this time. Rassy and I stayed together, but we got a third. Her name is Sister Bowers. We are the threesome this transfer until we get another sister. So we had to move to a two car garage cause our one car garage wasnt big enough. We have more room now. We are still in the singles ward and the Spring Valley Lake ward. Our investigator Dwayne is set for Nov. 16. We are so proud of him, he is awesome. It is FINALLY getting cold here. We are turning on the heat, pulling out the blankets and putting on the mittens. I love it.

Well only 3 transfers left, and this is going to be a good one.

I love you all and miss you.
write me and I will write you.

love cainers.
