Week 92
*"What people write to me is always beneficial and meaningful!"
*A TON happened this week!
*Were invited (along with another companionship) to an American family's house for Thanksgiving, "so we got to have two Thanksgivings, haha, don't worry, I'm not sad when you tell me you set a place for me at dinner, haha."
*"I always have a prayer in my heart, whether it's asking for motivation to talk to someone, asking to know who to talk to or what to say/ask. OR praying for my companion when he's teaching a lesson."
*Not much personal study this week--way too busy, and the studying was planning for lessons.
*The Book of Mormon question and what was learned will be revealed next week.
*The Davis's decided to host a family home evening for some investigators/members. "We brought a friend and a less active member, it went really well and I love that the Davis's did that!"
*Tuesday-"E.Grover and I had the opportunity to go with and translate for President and Sister Davis and the Bassetts (the humanitarian couple), at an American Protestant church. The purpose was to see if the volunteers could do service there. The pastor is such a nice man and the church is doing some amazing things. They take in so many Armenian kids who are living on the streets, and give them education, clothing, food, and a place to sleep. They do all of this even thought their church is pretty small. Going there and seeing all of the kids and what they have to go through was so humbling, just like when E. Nahle and I went to visit all of the Syrian kids and deliver hygiene kits to them."
*Tuesday night- A newer volunteer passed out three times in the same day and was sent home because of that. "He flew into Istanbul Wednesday. E. Grover and I spent the whole day with him and sent him home the next morning. It was pretty rough for him, but he still had a great spirit. Hopefully he'll get to return in a few months."
*Went with E. Johnson to Gaziantep "Antep" "On Saturday right after we flew in, we went to the familiar village E. Grover and I had visited before to teach a lady who has a dunk date! She only has one or two more lessons left and we are so excited for her. We also taught two more people who have a ton of potential. We introduced the "Light the World" campaign and I hope you, dad and Alli do that, it's such a cool idea."
*Also spent a lot of time with E. Grover translating "Light the World" into Turkish so that the members could participate with the rest of the world.
*Love and always in prayers
