Week of Thanksgiving. New companion and staying in Norman!

Hey everyone!!!  Write to me!!  I love you all!!!   sidney.snowden@myldsmail.net

This week on days of my life….

Transfers were on wed. Hna. Pine is my new comp! She is great! Her spanish is awesome and we are gonna see muchos milagros! estoy muy animado! 

……..But we didn't really get in with investigators, kinda a slow week.  We spent it mostly sayin good bye with hna. Meldrum, (she is in SLC now so go hit her up homie pies!) and introducing Hna. Pine to peeps! 

We had a Dia de gracias party Friday and Hna. Pine and I, the only non-latinos around (she is native american so this is our holiday!) We didn't get any turkey! Everyone ate it before us! haha dang it…

 But we had pecan pie. OH MY GOODNESS never had I had such a yummy thing in my life!

We went tracking in the rain for about 2 hours, got soaked and that was super funny, we prayed and shared a scripture with a family.  We talked to a lady who's son was just baptized on the Military Base here, so that was cool.  We finally got in with someone who lives in a Guatemalan man cave, luckily it was the dama of the house, so she invited us back and it was good! 

Cool story, we had a potential, ********. Every time we tried he would blow us off, so wed. (hna. pine's first day with me) we tried him, and he invited us over for a thanksgiving meal this upcoming sunday! So that was way cool! 

Thats really all I have this week, saw some cool little milagros, and met some really nice people. 

*********** is doing incredible! Taught him Word of wisdom, he said he already hates alcohol, drugs, coffee, that stuff so that was probably the easiest Word of wisdom lesson I will ever have. 

 Bap. Date for 13 of deciembre. keep praying for him! HES IS SO READY!!

but Love you all and I hope you have a happy thanksgivin! 

- te quierro!

First Snow in Oklahoma

Hey everyone!!!  Write me!!  I miss you all and would love to hear from you!!    Sidney.Snowden@myldsmail.net

So this week was good, Went on exchanges, I lead out the area cause I “gots" to know how! I didn't teach anyone, because they all cancelled on us, but we got a lot of potentials and referrals. It was a really good experience to know that I actually can do this mission work. Its really not that hard, you just gotta talk to people and visit them all day.  What is hard is doing it in spanish and finding the courage TO go do it. But I don't need to rely so much on my companion to lead, I know how so why not help out and work 50-50 not 90-10. This isn't Hitch.

But no new investigators. ******  is doing good, he's been coming to church, we have been able to work with him a lot and help him gain a testimony of the restoration, its been really great!

******* is our Inv. with a baptism date, Dec.13 and he is SO ready! We meet with him every night in the weekend cause he isn't working, and he is so excited! But he just about cried when he had to say good bye to Hna. Meldrum. He is such a sweetheart. He told us how much we have helped him, and how he see us as his sisters. He will do anything for us. He is so awesome and I am excited to see his growth continue!

We are "Snowden" Its snowed Sunday! Luckily I got my package full of sweaters and coats Saturday night when we came home! That was perfectly timed and now I am toasty warm! ;-) thanks momma! 

But Oklahoma is ridiculous!!!! it snowed maybe 1-2 inches and EVERYTHING closed down. No school, no stores, no NADA. Hence why I am emailing tuesday and not monday. Pansies. haha!

Transfers are tomorrow! Hna. Pine is coming down to Norman to work with me, Im excited to work with her, but sad Hna. Meldrum is leaving.  She has been a great Mom out here, but now I need to learn how to do things for my self like I said before. So staying In norman and probably will be here until the holidays are over! (cross your fingers/ say a prayer!)

Her homecoming is this Sunday!  She is so cute!

I love life here!!

Bueno hablo pablo.

This week a discovered Honey Roasted Pecans. They are my new favorite. They go above my Almonds. Just sayin....

I also kept having dreams that I came home and taught Dance, but I was a horrid teacher and SJ hated me. So SJ dont hate me, and Ive decided the first movie I am going to watch when I come home in Center Stage. I miss dance haha

BUT I LOVE LIFE HERE!

Funny: We painted a members bathroom. I dropped the phone in the paint and I kept my mouth silent, instead of saying the words I wanted to say. Go me!  I am growing as a person! haha, But I dropped it in the paint, grabbed it, stared at it for a minute because I was in shock (while trying to keep my mouth shut, and I successfully did!)  then ran to the kitchen and started cleaning the phone.  It works just fine, just looks a bit more decorated then everyone elses!

Teaching: I went ingles for a day on exchanges, and DANG, you white folk ask the deep questions. it was very different form spanish land. But we talked to this lady who was asking us about every odd question in the world, then she told us how she could see spirits, and told us they were always relatives to the person she talks to.  So, If I am related to a Martha please let me know. Because she said a Martha was in the room and none of us ever knew of a Martha.

Spiritual : it is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and Goddesses. To remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which... you would be strongly tempted to worship...there are no ordinary people.- CS Lewis.

Would the God you and I know plant the vision and desire for Godhood within a man's soul and then frustrate him in his ability to attain it? What do you think?
