anyways, i can let you know about interesting things than the weather.
i just been a handful of days since i last wrote, because our pday was moved due to the holidays.
sister
langi and i stopped by the walmart of course on pday cause its our only
day to stock up on milk and well to our surprise we learned black
friday now starts on thursday! on thanksgiving! what ever happened to
having a peaceful day reminiscing about the wonderful things we have
been given and being grateful for them... not hey lets make a huge list
of things we want to spend money on and stamped people while we are
doing it. cant we at least just wait until the day AFTER thanksgiving to
start doing all that? we are in the last days. the world is twisted.

we
have a very pleasant thanksgiving dinner at the griffitts home :] lots
of the traditional food and pie of course. i even had a chance to play
ben, a stellar 14 year old kid, in a game of chess. he killed me. BUT it
was fun. and he reminded me of terrill a bunch of times over so i
enjoyed it that much more. board games are just such a must for good
holiday fun.
we went to a tongan family gathering. i felt like
such a palangi. much of the food was great and the people were all so
friendly! we had a few great gospel discussions with some non-members
there too.
we had an amazing testimony meeting sunday. our
mission president, president lewis just happened to swing by our church,
never had him attend our meeting before. but it was neat to have him
there and to introduce him to dave wilson. he testified to dave that
what we are teaching him is true and that he would find much more joy if
he were to do what we are asking him. hes so bold. love that man.
anyway testimony meeting was super great. so many testimonies were given
about missionary work and many converts to the church shared their
experience about how they found the true church and were so grateful for
how much it had blessed their lives! it was a perfect answer to our
prayers and fasting for missionary work to keep on progressing in the
lodi 1st ward. we are so blessed.
we got permission to go to the the temple with the
pishos'! they will both be doing baptisms for their parents! big
blessing and we are so excited :] we are shooting for december 14th, the
same day damien will be baptized. it will be one great day!
the work is great. sister langi borrowed tommys ukulele and we are ready to go caroling :]
the season is great because it is the season of christ.
loves much,
sister oliphant
