Thanksgiving was nice. It sort of was a day off (and not) for us because we've been encouraged not to worry about knocking doors or contacting on Thanksgiving because of people visiting family. We ate lunch and dinner while visiting members' homes.
The weather is frigid but not snowy yet at all. It has rained, however, so far this week, it's been rather clear. This morning, it's perhaps 40's. The wind and the wetness contributes to making it feel more cold than it actually is.
Grandma's package hasn't yet arrived. I'll be expecting it. The issue concerning the letter sending has been the fact that the mail men here don't pick up mail from the mail boxes-only leaves them (defeats the purpose of having a flag... :( ). We have to either deliver it to a mail carrier or to the post office (even the mail carrier at the post office has graffitti on it). I'll try to drop my letter off today or tomorrow.
This previous week has been the most productive. We achieved three new investigators! All three appear to be IDEAL future baptisms. We're still trying to resolve everything with one investigator. We asked if we would follow Christ's example and be baptized with the right authority from God. He's not sure. Pray for him.
When we had visited another investigatorr, he was quite hospitable and kind but told us that he stopped reading (and he was making significant progress before) the Book of Mormon when he told us that he didn't agree with Nephi slicing off his brother's own head. We explained to him that Nephi killed Laban, not Laman; and read with him the chapter. We also explained the reason why much more clearer. He's reassured and is progressing again.
Love,
Elder Roberts
