After that we had ward correlation and then we went and taught Arlene. She is having a hard time right know, but she is reading the Book of Mormon. She is trying really hard to understand it.

Friday: We did our weekly planning and then went and helped Sister Holquiest from the ward with some service. She has been sick so we helped her clean her house. It was a lot of fun. After that we went and brought cookies to a former investigator Susan. We were able to talk to her and her mom about the Book of Mormon and the lesson went great. The spirit was very strong and testified of what we were saying. At the end of the lesson, they both agreed to read the Book of Mormon.

Then we had to be back in our apartment at 6. We weren't able to be out on Halloween. We studied. It was fun.

Sunday: We had a great Sabbath day. We talked about letting our light shine before God and others. We also talked about how we 

receive revelation. After church we had a interfaith fireside. It had just started here in Lapeer/Oxford. Different churches get together and meet at their church and discuss their beliefs. It was great. This one was Meet your Mormon neighbors. It was at our church. We had a lot of people show up. It was very fun. People asked questions and the Bishop answered them. We got to meet a lot of different people.
