Naegle Nover: The Christmas Tree Is Up!

They put up a huge Christmas tree in the town square and today we saw them putting lights on it. It's going to be beautiful!

We had a few programs this past week. One was a girl that I am pretty sure is possessed..just kept staring straight ahead as she talked with us about her interesting theories. We're meeting with here again though...Another was a girl who met with us pretty much just to tell us that she used to meet with the missionaries in the past just to learn English and set up with us again because she was curious but she doesn't want to meet anymore. Sad. And lame.
One day we prayed really hard to know who to visit off the member list and we had some success!! We set up with one lady to come back, another guy wasn't in town but we were able to introduce ourselves and give a card to the family that was living in his apartment, and at the last place we were able to talk with the non-member wife who said we could come back sometime. I am super excited about that.

Something I forgot to tell you about last week was that on Halloween, which is the day of the dead here, we went to see a graveyard in the evening as it got dark. There were masses of people there because everyone goes to put flowers on their relatives' graves and light candles. So everywhere you look in the dark there are lights glowing. It was beautiful. The member that took us (Heni-she's so great and going on a mission soon) had some extra tea candles so she let me light some for a grave that didn't have any. It was fun. We were hoping to talk to people about the Plan of Salvation but it ended up being too dark. We did pass out a bunch of pass-along cards about death though.

So, hopefully there will be a ton of really cool things to tell you this next week. Yesterday night we ran into a lady we had tracted into before on the street and she told us that one of her sons is not a believer (she is very religious, very nice). Although she wouldn't give us his name or address, she did tell us the street where he lives so we are going to go tracting there and try to find him and help him believe. I can't wait to see the look on her face when we meet again...at her son's baptism. Haha! Anyway, hope you are all having a great week. Take care and God Bless!!
