Dear Family and Friends,
Hope all is well! Sorry I wasn't able to email y'all last week!
We had a good Thanksgiving last week. President Nimmer invited us over to eat Thanksgiving with his family. I missed being home though! We also were fed at the Gulley's house (members in the branch). It seems weird that its Christmas season now! Greenville isn't that decked out, but maybe that's just cause its still November.
We had two investigators attend church today. D-- and S-- are 19 and we met them on Saturday. They seemed to enjoy church and are planning on coming back. We've been able to teach lessons to other investigators, but its hard to actually get people to keep commitments in this area.People will listen to us talk, but they don't want to do much more than that.
We were able to re-establish contact with our former investigator A-- last week. We went over on Saturday and she invited us over for dinner with her family that night. It was kind of a belated-Thanksgiving dinner thing. It was good to be able to see and talk to her again.
The weather has been super up-and-down lately. Last night when we were finishing up it was 34 degrees outside, and right now its 75! Alabama weather is kind of different.
Our Stake (the Montgomery Stake) has their giant Christmas activity this week. Every year, the saints here put on an "Inter-faith Nativity" where people from all over the region bring different nativity sets and have them on display. They also have music programs going on. Its Wednesday to Sunday from 1-8 each day. It's a lot of time and effort, but its a great opportunity to expose other people to the church. Supposedly a lot of non-LDS are involved in it.
We will have an opportunity to go to the temple again in a couple weeks. We'll also be invited to the mission home for a holiday luncheon with the mission president and his wife.
Things are going well! Love you all!
