Dear family and friends,
Happy birthday to Bryce, Keri, and Alexandria!!!
Hi! So heads up: we are not going to have p.day next week until Wednesday, so no letter until then!
I don't have much time, so I am just gonna send my letter I wrote President Alba this week :)
Dear President Alba,
Ah man! My whole email I just wrote to you deleted!! Okay, round 2.
Kia ora!! This week was good!
Sister Ngawharau got sick from Wednesday-Saturday (and very sick Wednesday and Thursday night) but got on some antibiotics to fight an infection the doctor found in her intestines. The food is hard on her stomach, but I am trying to eat healthy and have our dinner's feed us fresher food so her stomach settles a bit.
She is doing AWESOME!! She is an amazing teacher and teaches with simplicity and clarity. She has such a sweet, simple testimony, too. She gets pretty nervous before lessons and contacting, but once she starts, she does great. We get along very well, too. We are ALWAYS laughing and having fun together - the ward also told us Sunday that they love these new "scripture of the night" texts we have been sending out to investigators, less-active members, and active members.
We set a new date for Destiny for December 20th. Her family has been going through so many medical problems lately! Her sister, her mom, and her grandpa all were in the hospital the past 3 weeks and things are finally cooling down enough for us to start solidly teaching her again. Sister Nickolette bought her a set of scriptures and Destiny has been carrying them everywhere :) Her YSA brother is also interested in learning more, now!
We have been receiving many referrals lately, too, and had a "ward blitz" on Wednesday that helped us set up appointments with inactive members we hadn't met before. The work is picking up here in Vacaville! We are trying our hardest to reach the high expectations every day and I feel so happy :)
I love this work!! I know it is true.
Sister Ngawharau led out the area on exchanges this week and did great! Her and Sister Rodriguez were on bike and they had a blast!
Sister Majors and I had a good time, too. We laughed a lot, which was good. Sister Majors was pretty hard on hereelf sonwe set some goals and made plans to help her overcome the negative and think more positively. But she is truly amazing and I love her very much! She is a wonderful sister and servant of the Lord.
I love you President Alba! Thank you for MLC - it was wonderful this week. I learned SO much from both you and Elder Nielson. Thank you for your time and love! Have a happy Thanksgiving!
I love you all! Have a happy week!!! Happy Thanksgiving!
Love,
Sister Nikole Decker
