Tuesday we had District Council in the morning, and then we prepared for our Hot chocolate stand! It didn't take too long and we got everything gathered and set up by 2:15. We then had the stand running till about 4:30. Unfortunately it was kinda dead in the park and we only talked to 20-30 people. We were really hoping for more foot traffic but, this was kinda our trial run, to see how we can improve it. While we were at the stand I got a call from the Laie Sisters and they called us to send us a referral they got! One of the sisters was Sister Leato, from my MTC district! It was super awesome to talk with her a little again and see she is still a baller missionary! Shortly after the call we had to leave early and give a blessing to one of the members close by. We thought we were going to a dinner after, but they didn't remember about us, so when we called them to confirm they said naw... and then our Book of Mormon referral texted us her address and she lived quite a ways in to another area so we referred like you are supposed too. So our night went from, busy and full of appointments, to nothing... so we made the best of it, and grabbed some grub. We took care of a few personal needs, and then did some Facebook Proselytizing to finish off the night.
Wednesday we were able to visit that referral that the Sisters gave us, and he was super cool. He didn't really want to meet weekly because he has a lot of bible studies he goes to, but when we asked he we could help him serve, he invited us to help him at a volunteer event that night! After we talked to him we got our tires replaced on our car, because the tires were so bald! They literally had no tread on the back right tire 
. After we got the tires changed we headed straight to the Mew Bethel church where the service was. It was a super dope service because we made lots of good friends with friends of other Faith's, as well as the people we were serving! We will be doing this service a lot more from now on! After service we headed to the church and had a great lesson with a 17 year old that has been taking the lessons for years. He said this is the first time he has really opened up about his true concerns and feelings! And at the end, he said he didn't want us to think he wasn't still interested. He told he still wants to meet but that we now know what is holding him back. Really awesome day. God is good!
Thanksgiving we played Turkeybowl (Football) with the Ward Members in the morning, which was really fun! We then balled up, played games and called family after we got all cleaned up. A member, the Gauthier's fed us a great Thanksgiving dinner and I got to sit in their sauna chair and it was nice. I wanted to just pass out.
Love y'all talk to you next week
