Investigators and Injuries....all in a days work

Our cell phone (which is our alarm clock) didn't update for daylight savings time, so we ended up waking up an hour early and going back to sleep. Ooops. (Better than waking up an hour late!)

We were grounded for Halloween and for the 30th- no more missionary work post-6pm unless we had a member taking us. So we stayed in and went to bed early. Hurray!

We had a lot of cool things happen this week. Yesterday we had a dinner with the Stake President (regional church leadership) and his wife, and they had a friend over to join us. She and her daughter are from mainland china and turned out to be semi-interested in the church. We taught them to pray and about the restoration. We have another appointment with them later in the week and hope to get them either baptized here or ready to be baptized when she returns to her home country. We have until the 28th to find out which.

Sister Marsh took a tumble while we were at an old farmhouse outside of town. She slipped and cut her leg badly enough to need 14 stitches. (We hope she is healing!) It was especially heart breaking because we had had two lessons lined up (concurrently) so we were actually going on splits with ladies in our ward to get it done. Needless to say, it got cancelled. Such is life.

We had two investigators at church, which incidentally was Stake Conference (regional church meeting, instead of a regular congregational Sunday meeting).  Hopefully we'll be seeing them again soon.

Still no lessons with the lady we committed to a Dec baptism date... A little stressful because we really need to talk to her about either marrying her BF or them moving out. \ o / We'll see how that goes. We haven't even gotten her to church yet, so struggles all around.

It’s transfer week, and surprise, surprise, since we're only half way through training, we're staying together. Another 6 weeks in Iowa City. We'll see if that change comes Dec 17th.

 All my love,  Christine
