so this past week was a great week. Saturday we had our trunk-or-treat thing and we had so many non members and less actives show up! it is good to have those ward activities like that, we also had a few non members come out and play flag football with us. it was awesome! thank you for sending my cleats i forgot how amazing i was! lol NOT!!!

but at the trunk or treat thing we all dressed up in old school suit coats and then we decorated our trunk, it was really fun i liked this Halloween a lot better than last years. i took pictures so you can see when i send this sd card home.

yesterday we had an appt with an inactive couple and he is an RM, well we were there talking and i asked him where he served and he said that he served in Washington DC and i knew his age and figured it was about the same time that Reese served so i was like did you by chance know an Elder Edler and he was like ya i guess they didn't serve together but lived in the same apartment! at first i was like does this guy really know him or is he just saying this ya know? and then he was like yeah he would always talk about tractors and fields and i started laughing and said YOU DO KNOW HIM!!! so tell Reese that Elder Shaefermyer (sp) says hi! it's sad that a returned missionary has gone completely in-active, i hate seeing people do that.

right after that appt we had another one with the Hurley family and they are in-active as well. they are native american and have 8 almost 9 kids, she is due on the 8th! :) but anyways we had an awesome lesson the spirit was so strong and the dad totally took charge and was saying what they need to work on as a family and how they need to re-dedicate themselves. it was probably the most spiritual lesson i had in this area. they have a few kids that haven't been baptized so we are trying to work with the dad so that he will be able to baptize them. as soon as my comp and i got in the car we were yelling and saying that was so awesome! this is why i love the mission so much, because i can see the change that the Gospel can bring to people in their lives if they let it.

we have had a few appts that were just spanish speaking and i feel like i do nothing in those because i dont! haha i just sit there and try to stay awake, i was going to try and learn spanish but i gave up on that quick! ha i need to get going though cuz my time is up!

i cant wait to get my package and the letters from y'all! keep strong at studying and saying your prayers! i love you and miss you!

love Randy
