This week has been busy.  We are continually blessed with more and more people to teach, and even thou we are in a trio, and he tries to work in his area as much as possible, we manage to get to just about everyone in the week.  The members are getting more and more involved as it is being stressed in the stake that it is the work of the members and we are here to help.  We did manage to go on splits this week, so that helped too.

Right now, we don`t know if they will take a part of our ward or combine it with another, but it will probably happen in December.  Hopefully they will just take a part of the other ward. 

We were so happy to see a family that we have been teaching, show up for church, we didn`t think they would go, they actually showed up late because they thought it was at 10, but it was at 9, but it was like a missionaries dream.  All the members have befriended them and they talked about ways they could help them with some of the problems that they have.  They are also trying to invite them to the ward activities, but we also found out why they hadn`t gone before, it`s just that they thought that when they went to church that we would stop visiting them.

We have the first counselor of the stake presidency in our ward.  He served a mission and went to BYU and his wife is from France.  He told us that he signed up to give us food on thanksgiving day. :) it`ll be awesome unless by some unfortunate reason I get transferred next week, I don`t think so, but you never know what the Lord has in store.
