Oct.25th

Hi,
It looks like I wrote last on thur.morning last week so not a lot has happened. Von helped the Cub Scouts thur make small tool boxes and stilts the boys had a good time. Their are only 4 boys but we have invited 2 more boys from family's that we are working with so they would be a good addition. Fri we visited members all day but out of 7 we only got in the door of 2.
We had one couple over for dinner at our apartment on fri night and that was fun. Sat we went to 4 homes and only found2 home and found out one had moved.
We had a baptism sat. at 6:00 so we were at the church getting the water ready so it would not be cold and Von even watched some of the BYU game on the iPad
Sunday night we had a part member family come over for ice cream and cookies. She has been a member for a few years and he has had the lessons at least 3 times. They have two cute boys one two and the other four she is doing home school with them and they are good kids. The mission leader in our branch and his wife came over to so that was good. This week on wed. night is the fall social so we have been taking around invitations and cookies. Fri.they have a lunch bunch for sisters that want to get together for lunch so we will invite to that while we are out.
This week at church one of the sistes we saw during the week came she has not been here since we have come so that made us feel good.
The branch president ask one of the older sisters to start a empty nesters and told her I would help her so we are starting that on the 2nd mon of each month. I think the key is to get as many coming to something where they can meet the members. It is also a way for part member families to come and not fill that it is just church.
We are doing well just trying not to get down on our selves. This is the Lords work and he will help us. We love y all
