Hello December

Well... I should have known this week was going to be crazy. It started off before p- day was even over with a trip to the emergency room for elder Hall. He sliced his knee open on the accordion divider of the gym and they wanted to put super glue on it. (He ended up needing 7 stitches) Don't worry. Mama Toone stepped in and set that one straight. After that we went to Bishops house for dinner. I don't mean to toot our own horn but I'm pretty sure bishop loves us. And by us I mean the sister missionaries :)

Thursday was thanksgiving!! We went to Steiner's aunts house. It was pretty fun. She lives in the city but her and her husband built a cabin in the mountains where they spend every weekend. The cabin is right out of Ikea I'm pretty sure. They easily dropped a million on it. It was beautiful though. We planned on going there and to sister Phillips house but we didn't end up making it anywhere else.

Friday a youth from our ward came out with us. She is planning on serving a mission ASAP so she's trying to spend as much time with us as she can. We had some stellar plans and of course every single one of them fell through. Seriously. I felt like an idiot, but what do you do. Our day ended well with a dinner at our favorite Mexican family's house :)

Saturday we did service at sister Phillips and by we I mean the elders
;) just kidding. I raked a few leaves. I also taught sister Chen the woodchuck tongue twister. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
After that we went to Miguelina's house to teach Angie her final lesson before her baptism on Sunday. The whole district was there and she made us dinner. We all took turns teaching Angie the 10 commandments. I love that little girl. Seriously. And her mom. SO much.

Sunday was the baptism. I felt so bad for Miguelina. Her boyfriend (also the reason she can't get baptized) was being a bum and he just made the day so difficult for her. I think it was okay though. She's starting to realize that she really does deserve better.

Sister Chen and I held the towel for Angie as she came out of the font. She went into the bathroom to change and she just laughed and said "I feel soooo good!!!" I may or may not have cried. That was one of the most rewarding parts of my whole mission, I think. Angie is only 8 but she is going to be such a great example to her family and friends.

Monday was zone meeting which ended up taking most of our day for some reason. Tuesday we met with an investigator named sandy. We taught her the restoration and she prayed with us... It was a lesson right out of The District basically :) things are slow with her because she has a lot of health problems, but I think she has a lot of potential.

We'll my friends.. I think that's everything!!

Love you!
Sister Toone
