Break-In #2-Check!

Hey there!

This week was sweet. We had lots of really good things happen for us. And one not so great thing. :) So I don't remember the specifics about everything we did but it was good. We were able to meet with almost all of our investigators, which hasn't happened in a really long time. That was awesome. We met with Jolenny, who is the girl with a baptismal date for Christmas, and met with all but one of our other investigators at least once. They are all doing pretty well. We got 2 new investigators this week too, which is always great. One of them is a cambodian lady that we met while tracting about a month ago that told us to come back later. Well, we were finally able to get in to teach her this week. We got there, and she let us in (her husband wasn't super interested) so we (or I, rather :) ) started talking with her about her previous Christian experiences. She got up randomly and came back in the room with 2 big bowls of bahbah, which is cambodian rice soup that is super yummy. I told her that I wanted her to teach me how to cook cambodian food and she said she would. But the visit was great - we talked about the restoration and invited her to church, and guess what? She actually came! Wahoo!!! She really liked it too. I didn't have to translate for her, either cause she knows english pretty well, which is funny cause when we met with her we spoke in Khmer basically the whole time so Elder Pierson had no idea what was going on. haha. She said that she'd be back next week too. She invited us over for Thanksgiving dinner, cambodian style, but we are already booked so we had to push it to Friday. She's super awesome though. Her name is Sophan.

Also at church were 3 of our other investigators. 2 of them participated in the primary program (which was great, as always!) so it's good to see that they are being involved, even if they don't go every week. The one other one that wasn't in the primary program is a friend to one of our members, who just came to church with her. She's awesome Tabatha's friend, Danielle. She is living with Tabatha because Tabatha has such a kind heart and does really nice things like that all the time, like buying AWESOME Christmas gifts for the Elders. So, she invited Danielle to church and she came! We will be over there tonight so we'll have a chance to talk to her about how she enjoyed it.

So that's basically what happened this week. It's not as cool in email form, but when we taught like we did this week, and when people actually come to church like they did, things feel like they are going pretty dang good! It always feels like there's way more to talk about too.

Oh yeah, and there was a little event that helped spice up the week. When we walked out to our car this morning, our back window was smashed in, and the doors were unlocked, and both mine and Elder Dawe's GPS's were stolen. Again. Dang. Sorry Bro. Karr. We had them in the console, so you couldn't see them from outside, but I guess they saw the mark from where you hook it to the window, and figured they would be inside. The robbers were probably ecstatic to see 2 of them in there. Don't really know why we kept both in there though. haha. Oh well. Nothing we can do about it now.

And finally, I just want to let everyone know how cool it is that I'll be the best man for Justin and Gwen's wedding 6 days after I come home! I'm pretty excited for that. Sounds like it's going to be pretty fun. I still think it's weird that he's even engaged. haha. But yeah, that's cool.

Happy Thanksgiving! I love you all very much. I'm thankful for my family, my friends, the Church, my mission, my investigators, and everything else! Ok, bye! Love ya!

Love,
Elder Hammer!!
