pumpkins!

so here's the pics of my first time carving my own pumpkin (weird huh? i really think it was my first time...dad always did it when we were little right?) and it was a success!! turns out they have patterns to use! who knew?? i was quite proud of my spider hehe. so fun. so yeah, there's a pic of the zone in there too...even though half of it is the table the camera was sitting on haha. good times




so yeah, halloween was great! pretty much a normal day for us. the week was good except a little disappointing with so many new investigators cancelling. we had one awesome new investigator from korea but turns out her boys have swine flu so she's on hold now. so yeah kind of a rough time, but some great progress made with [D] and [M], our eternal investigators, this week! pray for us to find people to teach! we had a great "sister study" with our district leader and zone leaders this morning that got us pumped with new ideas and new faith so i'm excited for the miracles :)

i'm still really happy and lovin' the work! lately i've been making an extra effort to have really productive study time in the mornings and plan ahead what to study. my testimony grows so much every day! no matter what happens in the day, if i have spiritual study time in the morning, i'm happy and excited because i know it's all true and i'm so grateful for what i know.

well that's about it! thank you for your emails! popsy, i cant' believe ukraine is cancelled! i'm so sorry, i know you were excited. could you still go to visit max or do you want to save the airline miles for ukraine next year? i'm glad you all had a good early thanksgibbons!! we've already been invited to 2 homes for thanksgiving so i'll be well taken care of :) time is flyin'!! i can't believe it's november. the mission is going too fast. mommy, i got your package on saturday and LOVED it! it was like christmas! so so fun. thank you so much. i haven't been able to watch the videos yet because they don't work on my camera, but i'm going to try watching them on the computer after i send this. hope you all have a great week!!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!
