Halloween

Familia y amigos-

I hope everyone had a good week! This week just flew by! But I am so

happy it's November, October was a long month.  Ok let's see if I can remember...

We had exchanges! (Exchanges are when the missionaries exchange companions for a day)I stayed in my area and Sister Iaboo went to Sunland.

I was with Sister Janes for the day. I was a little intimidated because I had to figure our plan out for the day on my own, and we didn't have set appointments but we made it work! I purposefully put down our Spanish investigators we had while I was with her because Sister Janes just got transferred out of Spanish work and she misses it. So we visited Refugio so that we could fully understand why she didn't want to be baptized. She said it was because her son is a

minister and taking classes at APU (Azusah Pacific University- which

is a really great ministerial college, but they don't enjoy Mormons too much if you know what I mean) so he told her that we could still come over (which was nice) but he doesn't want her to commit to anything. And we got cupcakes and played with Refugio's new puppy.

Thursday was tough. We had 4 lessons secluded after district meeting and all of them canceled. We hardly ever have time for four lessons because of how long it takes to travel in LA and so we had it all figured out till the last minute, but it didn't matter :/ so ya we were pretty beat by the end of the day. But I called a lady- Maria-who we met at the trunk or treat, who we were supposed to meet with on Tuesday, but her phone got disconnected and it still was when we called, but I felt like we should just stop by her house. We did and she was there! And she let us in hoping that we would come over so that she could talk with us. She had taken the missionary lessons 3 years ago and told us that she wasn't ready to commit to anything back then because of the way her life was but that now she is ready and that she wants to be baptized! Ah!! Yeah! First time someone has asked to be baptized instead of accepting the invitation! I'm so happy for her, and she knows how important baptism is and she said she has even gone to church and seen a difference by just doing that. I can't wait for her to experience the amount of blessings she will receive when she is baptized!

So ya things are pretty good! Halloween was well... Pretty much normal

missionary day, except people in LA like to wear masks and skull

makeup during the day time which is unsettling, especially if you're

trying to contact them.... Hahaha that was good fun.

Love much,

Sister Plumb
