WEEK 10 Thanksgiving

Well, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! This week we had 2 p-days so that was fun!  We went door knocking and found an 89 year old Sister and are now teaching her so that is super cool!  We rode the bus to a lesson with the Sisters, while we were on the bus a man sat by us and started asking us all of these questions about our church. He said he had read the Book Of Mormon a couple of times and really wanted to understand it so we answered his questions and got his number to give to the Campus branch missionaries. So that was super awesome. He also invited us to his church its crazy how many people invite us to their church. Which as missionaries we aren't allowed to go to other churches.  We had Thanksgiving and another P-day so we went to the church and played basketball with the KZOO1 and K2 elders and then we played card games which was so much fun! After that the KZOO1 sisters came over and brought us sisters pie and sparkling cider. Then we headed to the KUB the old white church and played charades with all the Kalamazoo missionaries the KUB branch president and wife and some of the members of their branch and ate pie. It was so much fun! Then we went to the Siebers house at 5 for dinner. She is such a good cook! We had lots of yummy food. After that we went to the Bruggers and helped them put up and decorate their Christmas tree. So that was a ton of fun! You know you are in for a long winter when everyone in Michigan sees you in your coats and warm stuff and laughs and says this is nothing yet! And they are all in little jackets!  We went door knocking and a Lutheran lady let us in her house and gave us hot apple cider and we talked to her a little bit. She pulled out a binder she had and on the front of one of the pages it said Mormon and then one of the questions was what to do when you meet a Mormon? It was so funny!  But she invited us to an ornament exchange at her church and sent us off with a huge loaf of German bread and told us if we were in the area to come back and she would give us a hot drink and that we could also use her bathroom anytime. She was super sweet. We visited lots of Less actives and had lessons with them. We went and taught abagale and her kids. We went to church and then visited some more Less actives.  We also went to the ER and saw Debbie one of our recent converts she is less active because she has cancer and is super sick. She has already outlived the time they gave her by a lot. But we think she is going to pass away soon. :( We went to the Roushs for dinner and that was super good as always. Her recipes are all off of Mel's so she is my kind of cook! haha Well love you all and hope you had a great Thanksgiving :) LOVE Sister Gittins
