Howdy Ya'll!

First things first... HOLY FETCH THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!! talk about a comeback haha. I wish I could have been home to witness all the happened but hey what can I do right? Shout out to Caden Hardcastle, I'm sure you went wild pal.. I was thinking about you all day when I found out haha!

Wow this week was pretty solid! hard to believe that we are already at the start of a new month! before you know it, it will be Christmas time haha. this is my last week of being trained so I wont have my next P-day until next Wednesday since it is the end of the transfer! I'm ready to be done being known as a trainee and cant wait to get to meet my new comp!

Now that the darkness is hear it makes working a little harder and kinda sketchy but hey with god anything is possible and as long as we have faith we kind find those that he is preparing for us! this week we put two people on date which was super awesome! we will be having two baptisms on November 26th. I'm super excited and cant wait to see Keith and Ray enter the waters of baptism, its going to be super great. they both have such great faith and are really growing in the gospel. I love the opportunity we have as missionaries to help people take the steps to living the gospel!!

My first Halloween was pretty crazy, there was children everywhere, I felt like I was driving around in Disney land lol. now that the holidays are here all of the members want to feed us and are more willing to do stuff for us which is super nice because we stay full and we don't go poor:) this last week we carved pumpkins and wow I have never felt so uncoordinated in my life haha. but hey it actually turned out somewhat ok;)

For my spiritual thought I want to talk about faith and the importance of it. In Alma chapter 32:26 we read; Now, as I said concerning faith—that it was not a perfect knowledge—even so it is with my words. Ye cannot know of their surety at first, unto perfection, any more than faith is a perfect knowledge. we know that when we have faith in Jesus Christ that we are able to know who he was. we know that he loves us and that he has a plan for us and what he expects of us while we are here on the earth. when we have faith in Jesus Christ it leads us to repentance and it helps us to change our self through him. Faith can strengthen us spiritually and can comfort us in our hardest trials. I know this because I have experienced this my self. though times can get hard, when we have faith that Christ will make our burdens light, we are able to make it through! I love Jesus Christ and all that he does for us. remember to keep faith and do all you can to follow Christ this week. I love you all!!
