Sorry I don't have a lot of time this week - maybe like 5 minutes. I don't feel like I have a ton to say anyways. I am glad to hear you all had a fun safe Thanksgiving! I guess it wasn't too weird being away since I really haven't been home in about 2 years for Thanksgiving...but that's besides the point, right? :)
I love you all lots and lots. I promise to write more next week. We had fun eating good food and talking to lots of people! It was weird being in a totally American style home. I was having a mini crisis trying to figure out what side of the world I was actually on. But it was all enjoyable nonetheless.
It doesn't feel like December yet. It feels like...October. It is still warm, but somehow today I have managed to be fine wearing a sweater. Just another manifestation that my first winter home will be absolutely miserable. :P
Wise words for this week: It has to get harder before it can start to get better. This week inviting was really hard. We had rejection after rejection and we are still struggling to find solid people in line for baptism and even investigators in general. But we were obedient. We went the full 2 hours a day as directed. We didn't see immediate results, but we know that the Lord blessed us for our efforts. The Lord knows when we are obedient, and although the blessings may not immediately follow, that is when we show the Lord who we really are. We can show to Him that we really are willing to do all He asks of us. That is the trial of our faith, and we receive no witness until after that trial. The Lord will bless us, just do all you can to remain faithful until the end!
Love you!
Sister Norrell
