Life is revving up for the time of the Christmas lights. So exciting, they are going to open the Square an hour later for the entire season, instead of only being later on the weekends. We're so excited for all of the people... even though we've had loads here because of the Thanksgiving holiday. God is amazing; He takes care of everyone so well. Sister Fox and I met the most amazing couple from Costa Rica who came here to ski. It made me think because sometimes we get couples who come here for their honeymoons and they seem to be so focused on themselves that they can't even avoid walking into things... but these two were so considerate and cared for each other so much. I was happy to be around them and talk about everything. God really brings the prepared people when it's a little slower here. They wanted nothing else, but to be with each other forever and to feel God's love with them at all times.
When you meet different types of people you wonder what you need to go and do to be a better person. They are all children of God, but some you would emulate and some you would not. just thinking about how the people became the way they are... to their belief, to their hearts... it makes one start to think why anyone would assume that we are merely determined by our environments. There has to be something else, people who have had similar upbringings can have such different personalities. We are all so individual. Life is so amazing.
Albeit meeting new people is so good, our investigators are having a collectively bad week. They all got the "deadly flu" as one of them put it. I think it's amusing that they all got colds when they are from all over the world... Kenya, Romania, USA, Jamaica... I certainly hope that the telephone is not a conductor because one of them sounded like he just needed to rest for about a week... we hope that he gets the Book of Mormon soon so it can keep him company. Life is fun though and seeing how they learn about God and coming closer to him is the best experience ever.
Have a great week.
