Hey Family,


Yes I like working on houses. It's cool to see the project after we're done with it and then to see the joy that the people whose house it is have for our help. Glad everyone had a fun Halloween. Abby's costume sounds scary, and James's sounds.... oriental. We had a trunk or treat party here on Wed. It was too windy to actually have it in the parking lot (REALLY windy, couple tornados here and there) so we just had everyone grab a room and the kids went around the church. There were like 1\3 non-members there, which was an awesome missionary oppurtunity. We now have one solid inv. from it (setting a date on the next lesson) and a potential family.

Jon and Jessica's lesson turned out different than we expected. First off, only Jon was there. He let us right in though, without even asking how we got his address and started talking to us. Turns out he has been prepared his whole life to hear the Gospel (even though he didn't know it). We went through the whole Restoration with him and set a date for Dec. 4! He even put on his calandar - Dec 4, Baptism! For real!- because he was baptized into another church as a kid, but now recognizes that they didn't have the proper priesthood. He's awesome; he even said a perfect prayer and asked that he would get an answer to whether or not the B of M is true. We still haven't been able to meet with Jessica yet.

John, Wendy, Dominique and Brooke are doing good. None of them came to church on Sun,...... Something must have happened, o well. The girls did come to our first weekly 'Family Sports night' at the highschool, which was fun.

We found out (name left out) is going to be in Jail till next Christmas and on probation for another 3 years so his new date is going to have to be in 2014 at least. We are going to set up an appointment to see him. He told (name left out) in a letter that he stills prays and can't wait for him to baptize him (and now (name left out) will be able to confirm him too) and really would like a B of M and maybe some for the jail library. So Sat we went to the jail and asked one of the gaurds if they could give him one we brought and put the other 4 in the library, she was glad too.

Tell James congratulations for sticking out cross crountry and Happy Birthday again.

Tell Abby her poem was awesome, I can't believe she wrote that. I'm pretty sure it was better than anything I could do. I thought it was so good I read it to Elder Harper.

Tell Matthew he ROCKS.

Ya the weather here is getting pretty chilly. We've had to start scraping the ice off the windshield in the mornings. And thus starts the long cold winter of WI (yay).

To answer Dads Q: Some were ressurrected right after Christ, some sporatically throughout history (Peter, James, Moroni), all the righteous not yet born will be at the 'First Ressurrection' (beginning of Millenium), those during the Millenium who die but will be ressurrected in 'the twinkling of an eye', all the rest (wicked) at the 'Second Ressurrection' (end of Milenium). I think. And thanks for the football updates :)

Have a great week,

Love
