Well both of us are staying in
Heather Ridge this transfer. It’s looking like a cold winter on a bike is ahead
of us. I've learned the cold can really destroy your energy. We were huffing
and puffing all day on Wednesday. It was freezing to say the least. We had
another slow week. But overall our average is starting to climb. We hope we can
become a thriving area here pretty soon. I have faith we can.
The ward is starting to help
quite a bunch. The ward mission leader is trying to get an elder or high priest
to come with us for an hour or two every day! So that will be great to have
someone who has a car to drive us around and give us at least a little break in
the day. Also, the ward council has updated the "15 names list" of
people in the ward they want us to regularly meet with. Hopefully that will yield
some lessons. I've said it and I will say it again; this work cannot go on
without the help of ward members in every aspect of missionary work. And this
ward is responding wonderfully to that invitation and I'm very grateful.
It seems like people here want
to talk about two things, politics and the Denver Broncos. I live in Broncos
Country, and I probably hear the names Romney, Obama, and Peyton Manning
more than Joseph Smith or Jesus Christ. Ha-ha.
No updates really on the people
we are teaching. But we did go to the ward's "trunk or treat" where
everyone just opens up their trunk and kids in their costumes go trick or
treating in the church parking lot. I'm hitting myself that I didn't bring my
camera because the kids looked so adorable I thought I’d die. One little girl
dressed up as a bouquet of pink roses by wearing a green skin suit with some
plastic wrap on her shoulders with pink paper roses on her head and shoulder.
One baby kid dressed up as an Ewok from Star Wars. Some nonmembers showed up so
it was really good!
Well that’s all the news I
have for today. Thanks for the Halloween package!
Elder Bringhurst
