It is Guy Fawkes day here in England :) If you don't know what it is, you should go look it up online because it will probably be a better description than I could type in the next few minutes. Anyway we get to stay the night in the flat and enjoy the warmth and peace of our home! It should be good fun. Unfortunately we will miss out on the bonfires and fireworks though.
This is a funny little story: on Friday, we had the wonderful opportunity to serve. We stopped a young lady named Ying as she was walking. She had some heavy groceries, so we offered to help her carry then. Ying asked, “Are you here to help people?” Our answer was an enthusiastic “Yes!” We were able to carry her bags and talk to her. She was going to look at some new housing and asked if we could also help with that. We were able to go with her to talk with the rental agency to figure out the logistics. It was clear that she appreciated the help, and she even agreed to meet us next Friday. I am grateful for the opportunity to be like the Savior and go about doing good.
As for the photos, here are the descriptions:
1. Halloween! We got some candy. It was sour gummies, but they were also false teeth so we put them in to celebrate :)
2. We went out to eat, and I tried some chicken feet (per invitation of the birthday boy). They weren't bad tasting, yet they were not very flavorful either. They were basically just chewy and not much taste to them.
3. The group we went out to eat with today. From left to right: Cathy (one of the elders' investigators), Tatianna (member), Elder Hare, Elder Cai (the birthday boy--he turned the BIG 2-1), and Sister Loh. It was a good celebration and we had a fun time together.
I think the rest of everything is same old, same old. Life is good :) Glad to hear everyone is safe and wasn't too affected by hurricane Sandy. Have a good week and enjoy the elections.
Love, Becca
