Snow. Christmas is coming. Miracles!


Hey everyone! Start that Christmas music. It's coming before you know it!
This week, a lot happened.
Monday night we drove 4 hours to Shawano Wisconsin for Zone conference. We were prepared with Salt and Vinegar pringles and Teddy Grahams for the road. Stayed with the Shawano sisters. My two favorite! Sister Plante (my sister out here. Sister Martin trained both of us!) and Sister Pearson! My second companion! We had a great time reflecting on good ole Stevens Point!
Wednesday was the Ward halloween party. We decided to be clever and be Elders for Halloween! It was kept on the dl and we arrived! We were a bit worried about being chastized by the Elders but they were dressed up too. Men in Black (just add glasses). It was way fun and so many less active members and non members were there!
I will share with you just four of the miracles of the week.
1. We received a referral from our friend Aubrey (14) to go see her friend Liz. Liz has cerebral palsy and is the kindest person ever! We talked with her for 45 minutes and her heart is so warm. She is very open to the gospel. Her parents were so nice and inviting. Her dad let us right in! We will teach Liz on Wednesday with Aubrey. :)
The last three were all yesterday!
2. Teresa and Joe came to church again! (Geniusness of it is they don't have a car yet and we arranged for Sister Ontto who is less active to bring them. She's always happy to help!)
After church teresa asked me how to pay fast offerings. uhhhhh okay! So I showed her how its done. Then later that night she texted "We were just reading in 1 nephi and he keeps saying 'Yea' What does that mean?" Simple question, but they're reading!!!!
3. Patricia. She is our "golden investigator" according to Sister Salani. But she really is amazing and super prepared. Wants the gospel so bad but struggles with feelings of worthiness. We haven't seen her in 2 1/2 weeks because she's been sick but we dropped by yesterday and read with her inthe Book of Mormon and set a time for Wednesday! She also mentioned casually her willingness to keep the law of tithing and fasting/fast offerings. What is it with these investigators that volunteer this willingness when we haven't even taught them that yet? So good!
Well, another small miracle. I taught my self how to frenchbraid. Finally got it down. Makes life so much better. Well, love you all. Hope you had a  great halloween. by the pictures it looks like you did!
Love, Sister Roylance
