Hi Mom!!

 

Thank you for your tracting advice! I will remember that. The fall colors are even better this week. We're rushed for time right now, but I'll send you some pictures next time.

 

Wow, I'm so impressed with Cecilia! I remember trying out for all-state choir and not getting in. :-) I'm so happy that she's enjoying that and doing so well with that. I'm doing choir again  now, too! Sister Carter and I and the other 2 Chardon sisters are all singing with an inter-religious choir that sings the Messiah every year! It is so wonderful, I'm so grateful to be doing it.

And I heard about DaNece's audition! And tell Jocelyn I wish her all the best for her play! I'm so proud of her, too.

 

We had a great week! I have a good missionary story for you...  A few weeks ago, Sister Carter and I were doing our daily planning, and we both felt pulled to tract this one street in Chardon called Grant Street. We didn't get to it until about a week later, though, and when we got there, it only had five houses. So we tracted those five, and nothing happened. But then the next week, we were driving down that same street, and I noticed a house on the end that we hadn't seen the other time. So, I  mentioned it to Sister Carter and we decided to come back and tract it eventually... And then, this week on Tuesday, we were driving past Grant Street, and all of a sudden Sister Carter just turned and pulled into this house and said, "Let's tract it right now!" So we did, and  nobody was home, but as we were walking away, a truck pulled up and this man got out and said "Hey, sisters! I'm an elder! I'm Brother Bob." It turns out he is from Ashtabula and hasn't been active in the church for awhile, but he has been living in Chardon for the last few months and was just thinking about how he wanted to come to church again. I am quite sure he is the one we were supposed to find on Grant Street. It was a good miracle!

 

Our investigator Tina is also making good progress. Oh, we set a baptismal date with her! It's for February and I really think it will happen. We went over the qualifications for baptism with her yesterday, and she is serious about getting ready. I'm so impressed with her!

 

Well, we have to go, sorry this was on the short side. Our car is in the shop all week long and now we're sharing with another set of sisters, so P-day schedule is tricky.

 

I love you, though! Keep writing me long emails, I love to read them!

 

Love,

Katherine

 

P.S. Have I told you about Pioneer School? I will have to next time.
