Elder Noah Hoskins Hanson West Virginia Charleston Mission : Week 65 - October 30, 2017

Hey y'all!! First of all, Happy Halloween tomorrow! I honestly cannot believe it's already Halloween...next Halloween i'll be home. That's kind of weird to think about so i'm not going to! From what I've heard, Halloween in Morgantown is freaking NUTS! So we're most likely gonna have to go in early and do some planning or something productive. The college kids here have no problem partying whatsoever soooooo yeah it's gonna be a party but not a good kind of party. Oh whale. Also it's soooo cold here! It's not supposed to get any higher than like 38 degrees today and basically the rest of the week. Lol. Pray for me and my ability to get cold easy.

Also, we had a trunk or treat activity on Saturday for our ward party! It was so fun actually. It was fun seeing all the different costumes and stuff. There was an activity at the trunk or treat called "The Harry Potter Room". Needless to say, I was hyped. And you bet your bottom dollar I got a Harry Potter wand from that room. So did Elder Prince. Elder Prince was nice enough to let me go into the room even though it was definitely for like 5 year olds. It's ok though. He's a homie.

UPDATE ON INVESTIGATORS:

JD & Danielle. I can't remember if I've already talked about them but they're a couple of people from a family that we're teaching! They care a lot about their family and have always had a lot of questions about religion. They're awesome! Danielle came to the trunk or treat with 2 of her kids, Noah and Malachi! Pray for them because they have a lot of things they'll need to change in order to be baptized. They're doing great though!

Aaron. So Aaron is a 12 year old whose dad is a returning member. Remember Aaron Wolfe? The guy who signed the stop smoking workshop paper? Yeah we're teaching his son now! His son is very smart and very interested in the church! He's progressing pretty well. We just need to get him to church! Pray that he'll be able to make it to church so that he can be that much closer to baptism!

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK:

So this challenge is pretty specific. The challenge this week is to pray specifically to Heavenly Father for an opportunity to help someone who might be struggling. Then sit there for a bit and wait for an impression of WHO specifically you can help out. Because Heavenly Father knows who needs help and who could use YOU and YOUR example.

FUNNY MOMENT:

So yesterday, a member was telling us about how when he was younger, he would throw water balloons at people on the side of the road while he was driving. There was one specific story when he said "I threw the water balloon in the middle of a group of college students and the guy I hit got super angry and THREW his phone on the ground. It was the most expensive water balloon shot ever!!" Hahahahaha! I love the members here!

Anyways, love y'all! Stay safe and have a great Halloween!! :)
