Santa Ran

Dear Family and Friends,

We had a pretty good week last week. We were able to find 3 new people to teach/try to teach and at least two of them seem pretty promising. One is from a part member family, and one we just started talking to while he was out on the street. We taught an entire Lesson One and he pretty much set up the return appointment. So we'll see how that all turns out.

Saturday we had the Santa Run. The Santa Run is when President and Sister Perry (well, and the Craners--an office couple, the Biglers--another ofice couple, and President Barnes) come around to the various zones and bring us our Christmas Packages complete with stickers from the Mission Office which say "Don't you dare open this until Christmas." Where is the trust? The Santa Run also included the opportunity to watch (gasp!) a movie. Oooh, ahhh. So we watched "The Chronicles of Narnia" and maybe it's just because the only other things I watch are church films, but it was pretty gripping. It was interesting to muse on a few other scriptural parallels I had not noticed before as well.

That is about it. We are trying to stay busy this week, and it looks like we should succeed. We have a baptism for a husband and wife this weekend and that is exciting. I don't know when I'll be emailing next week. It probably won't be until Thursday or Friday as transfers are on Thursday. I still don't quite have it figured out. Sister Kawasaki keeps telling people that I am leaving, which sort of ruffles my feathers, but we'll see.

Love,
Sister L. Sorensen
