Thanksgiving happened on Thursday in case you didn't know, and it was awesome. And last night we had dinner with a family comprised of a member, 2 investigators, 3 nonmembers, and 2 kids. It went soooooo well.
So last p day we went to Rockledge because it's closer than where our zone goes in Vero. We got to hang out with that entire zone in their monstrous gym which made basketball and gator ball way fun. Ender Squires' trainer is also in that zone so we got to hang out with him. We are also going to be with that zone today.
We had transfers on Tuesday and got sisters in Palm Bay 1, the other ward we were covering. So now we're back to 1 ward and there are sisters in our apartment complex. So we're also back to sharing a car. It makes our job easier, but now we're back to biking basically everywhere because we let the sisters use the car most days because they have a big area.
We found 3 new people. Cathy we found tracting. She is pretty old with lots of health issues, but she's the sweetest person ever. She was on her porch and we talked to her for a good 20 minutes. We offered some service and then talked a little about the Plan of Salvation and the Book of Mormon. She said we could come back this week, so that will be fun. Moises was the dad of someone we found tracting. We got a return appointment with his son Alejandro, and we went to the appointment and Alejandro was just going to work, but he had talked to his dad and his dad was more interested than he was. So that was kind of funny, but we had a really long lesson with Moises about what the Book of Mormon is and how it can bless his life and his families lives. He is really cool and seemed very interested. So that was amazing. Brian was the last one we found, I'll talk about him later.
So Thanksgiving was Thursday. We all know what that means, we can now listen to Christmas music.😃 Thanksgiving was fun though we had dinner with the Hobson family and the Rasmussen family. It was really good. They're the 2 families that feed us the most, and the Bro. Hobson is the mission leader, so we k ow them really well. The sister missionaries in our ward also ate with us. It was fun. We spent the rest of the day tracting and wishing people a Happy Thanksgiving and we visited as many single people in the ward as we could to make sure they had people to spend it with.
Our dinner last night was amazing. It was with the Schwind family. The moms a member and they have 4 daughters. There's a 15 yo and a 13 yo that are investigators. The dad is not interested at the moment. We had ribs and talked a lot to all of them. The daughters really want to be baptized but the parents dont want them to because they think they're doing it for the wrong reasons. We've become really good friends with the dad which is good. We had a good lesson on faith and how it might start as a tiny seed but that's ok and last week we had a lesson about the importance of building our own testimonies. The whole family liked it and the dad even said he'd read out of the Book of Mormon this week. 😀☺ Next week we have another dinner and hopefully we'll put the daughters on date to be baptized.
Also, I biffed it on my bike. Check my google drive for more photos. What happened was we were biking down a sidewalk by a whole bunch of tall tightly packed houses and it was pretty windy. We passed by a canal which mean there was a big canyon thing that all the wind was going through. So right as we were passing it a huge wind gust hit and pushed me to the left, then I overcorrected and fell. I want hurt at all, I caught myself pretty well, but it messed up my seat and my brakes a little bit. It's all good now though.
That's all folks.
P.S. Oh yeah, Brian is the dad at the end, should've clarified that.
