another cold week in New Hampshire

Hello Everyone-


This week was an interesting one. On Wednesday morning we had to take our car into the shop, because it was making horrific sounds. We had to get a ride to district meeting. BUT no one could take us home... we didn't know what we were going to do. Luckily Pres. and Sister Wilkey were at our district meeting, so they took us home. Oh, what a special treat that was to spend that extra time with them. They gave us some great ideas of things we can do for our area, and it was just good. I really have the best mission president (and his wife) ever!!!!!!!!

Bro. Marsh accepted another baptism date. Dec. 15th!!!! (hopefully I don't get transferred this time, or else, I will leave the day before his baptism...... :S)

We have been doing a lot of finding.... well looking. We haven't found anyone new to teach.... But the man, Jonathan, that I have written about the last two weeks is really interested. We went to teach him last night, but ended up just answering a lot of his questions. He loves the idea of baptism, and is already willing to give things up, and live the way Christ has commanded us to! It's really exciting, when people are willing to change after just the first visit!

We got news this week that we are now allowed to use a GPS... only problem is we have to provide our own. So mom, if you aren't using yours anymore, I would be more than happy to use it. :)

We had stake conference yesterday. It was weird to go to stake conference and see 10 other missionary companionships plus 2 Sr. couples..... and that was only half the stake. Some of the elders had to travel almost 3 hours to get to stake conference. I definitely took for granted the amount of members we had back home!

Thanksgiving is this week. We are having district meeting that morning, and then eating with some members some time that day.... don't know when yet. It will be weird having thanksgiving away from the family, but we will make the best of it. It's funny, because in Switzerland they don't have thanksgiving, and so Sister Gaggini is like, what is the point of this holiday?? What do you do??? Um... you eat and are grateful for things. haha.

Well thanks for all the letters I got this week!!! It was a nice surprise!!! :)

We are trying to stay warm, and have fun while doing it. We do a lot of tracting, and not a lot of teaching right now, so that is why my e-mails have been kind of boring. sorry!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Love, Sister Rankin
