Sister Van Buskirk: The Traphouse

So not much happened this week! We did a lot of finding, we actually spent a good two hours tracting. Most of our finding is done while we run around our area like chickens with our heads chopped off! We did talk to some solid people that I'm really excited about!

Halloween was this week. I kind of imagined Halloween to be a different kind of scary than it actually ended up being. Tuesday morning we get up, go to district meeting like normal. Then we do some finding and have coordination. We have dinner with the Taber's and then are inside by 6pm. Probably around 7:30, Sister Neuffer and I are sitting on the couch. I think we were calling people trying to set stuff up. Then, Sister Neuffer goes, "hey! I just saw a mouse...." Great... We just sat on the couch for the rest of the night and we definitely saw at least two mice... The next morning we went and got mouse traps as soon as we woke up. We caught two so far but we saw another one this morning. We covered one hole and went and got more traps today. These mice are not going to stay! Stay tuned for next week's update on how many mice we have caught!

Tom is doing great! He comes to church every week even though we haven't had a lesson with him in about 3 weeks. We just try and stay in contact over texting and see him at church. He told us that he is going to Florida in a couple weeks but he's staying until mid-February... So I suggested we could contact the missionaries in Florida for him to meet with and he said, "I was already thinking about asking you to do that. I was also going to try and find the church that's close by. You can find anything on the internet." Yes Tom Yes! But why do you have to go all the way to Florida for 4 months! But that's okay because the Florida missionaries are so lucky.

Funny story: We were tracting and we go up to knock on this door and a woman looks out the window right before we knocked. I waved at her and she just looked at me like I was a weirdo and turned around. After we knocked (their door was open and we could see right through their screen door) a lady walked down the hall. We knocked again and we could hear voices. We knocked one more time and someone yelled, "No one is home" Great. I love tracting.

I know my Heavenly Father loves me. I know He loves all of you. I know that because I have prayerfully studied the Book of Mormon. His love is expressed in the words of His prophets. Read the Book of Mormon. You will find peace there.

Lots of Love!
