Pre-Thanksgiving update

Hi Mom!
So, I don't have much time, my comp is already done, and we have to eat our Thanksgiving feast soon! All of the missionaries in the zone are here so it is going to be fun. I talked to the mission presidents wife and she says with the symptoms I probably have a first or second degree sprain. So, I guess we'll see. Oh, and guess what, my comp has just as bad eyes as me! It is fun to walk around and need to read a sign and we have to be like right next to it to read it. Luckily, her eye doctor didn't write down 20/20 vision and she has glasses. I put them on and there is just a whole other world that I am missing out on! So, just to let you know, we were going up in numbers, when we should have gone down. I need -1 or -1.5. Just random little side note!

So, this week, we were supposed to have a baptism, right? Well, sadly, she got lost and didn't make it. So, a little boy whose mother joined the church last year got baptized. He turned 8 in April and him and his 12 year old sister come to church by themselves. The ward didn't think he should get baptized if his mom wasn't active, but then they decided that it is okay! So, that was stressful, but so amazing at the same time. We have a baptism with Robert on Saturday, he'll get confirmed, then move to Vancouver on the 2nd of December. His testimony is getting stronger and stronger. And, his story proves that member work is the best! He met someone through facebook and wanted to know more! His first Sunday, he asked the Bishop about wearing garments and if it is comfortable or not. He is so excited and knows that the church is true! And, Sabine who was supposed to get baptized on Saturday will get baptized on the 5th. It was interesting, because the ward doesn't really get involved with missionary work, but they love Sabine, so they took it into their hands and re-set the date with her. So, that is everything that is going on with our investigators.

We are going to sing some awesome Christmas german songs at an old people home so that will be fun. We have tons of activities and things for the Holidays so I hope that people will let us talk to them with the spirit of Christmas being here. Sadly, or maybe it is a good thing, it is only beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the stores. This whole past week I didn't need to wear my boots because it was so warm. Yesterday I didn't even need a jacket! But, the colder months are coming... Anyway, it feels like California weather, it has been like 10-15 for the past week. (You can figure out the conversion because it hurts my head to do that...). Anyway, I gotta go help one of the elders make the turkey feast! Have a good week. And tell EVERYONE that I love them! I want to write, but this week is busy. I think of them often and am so thankful for their support!
Mit Liebe!Sister Turner
