Teaching & learning from so many amazing people

Sooooooo....we kinda had a shorter week since tuesday was pday!! It's been a good one though!! Lots of success with less actives!! Tuesday we had pday so that was fun! haha basically all we did was emails, went to walmart bought some groceries, came home and wrote letters... then we went to the Carpenters for dinner! They are less active and we stopped by a couple of weeks ago to just check up on them, get to know them and they were super nice.. then they decided they wanted to have us over for dinner! So tuesday we went and had dinner with them and we invited them to come to church on sunday! and guess what?! Brother Carpenter came!! :) most people get super excited to have an investigator at church..but it's just as exciting to have a less active come!!! We do have a potential investigator that has been coming!! And that's pretty exciting! His wife is a member and is less active and her husband has been taught before...They've been coming to church for a couple of weeks now and we've been wanting to get in and teach them but haven't had much luck yet with their busy work schedules... but yesterday he came to church and brought the little kids even though his wife was sick... so were pretty impressed by that and this week we are going to teach him and hopefully even invite him to be baptized!! kind of awesome!!!! :D I think he's ready! So we'll see how that goes!! :) 

Wednesday we went and saw Brother Eldredge and we talked to him about missionary work! It is so cool to see how far he has come in the past couple of months! His testimony has grown so much and he really is just hoping that his kids will see his example and have a desire to learn more about that church! I know that they have definitely seen a change in him and he says he thinks their hearts are being softened! So that is pretty amazing! I know that they can just see how it's changed him and maybe they will soon have the desire to have that in their own lives! His decision has definitely had a huge impact on his family for good! I know that this is true also for all of the people that we are working with! It's crazy how one decision can impact so many people! But it does! Tomorrow Sister Wallace is going to the temple!!!! I am so excited for her! I hope that her kid's hearts will be softened too and I know that as they see her example that they will want to come back to church! She is just such an example to me! I love her! She is so optimistic about everything! She's had cancer for a long time and for the past seven years she's been having different treatments and she was telling us how she has never once asked "why me?" but she always says "why not me?" She is so amazing! She says it's a miracle that she's still alive but she knows there must be a plan for her if she's still here! I am so grateful for her amazing example and testimony and perseverance! I am learning so much from her so I know that one reason is definitely for me! because she has taught me so so much! I'm so grateful for her! 

Thursday we went to the hospital and served there..we saw some more less actives and then we went with Amy to Bowdoin college for thanksgiving dinner!! haha so that was fun!

 Friday we did some tracting and then saw some more less actives!  

Saturday we saw some more less actives!!! haha it was just a week full of less active lessons and it was super great!! :) 

Sunday we went to church and this time we got to go to nursery!! haha! that was so much fun!! those kids are the cutest!!! i always learn so much from them and they just remind me how we are all children of God! We need to just remember the simple things and just follow the example of little children! We had a cool experience tracting yesterday where we were talking to a lady and we decided to sing "I am a Child of God" It really touched her and we were able to talk to her for a little bit and she said she'd read the Book of Mormon and that we could come back next week!

I know that we are all children of God and that He loves each and everyone one of us so much! I'm out of time and wish I could say more! But I hope you all have a wonderful week and know how much I love you!!!! You're the best! :) LOVE YOU!!! :)
