Not a lot happened this week. We're still being blessed like crazy. We have six people on date; Emily December 1st, Shyla December 6th, Vida and Brizette January 3rd, Sharon January 10th, and Katie February 16th.
The only one that is this transfer is Emily, but she's moving on Tuesday right outside of our area. We will still be able to attend her baptism, as we would be considered her main missionaries and she'd just be in the Alderwood 2nd ward, which is in the stake. But her baptism is for some reason scheduled on a Monday (we were on exchanges when she was put on date), so that will probably moved back to the Saturday, which is right after transfers.
Shyla was moved back a week because there is a wedding the 29th of November that will apparently last all day, as the building scheduler said that there would be no time for a baptism because of it. She will be baptized the weekend after transfers, and I'd be able to return if transferred.
But the others, I don't know if I'll be able to attend. Vida and Brizette (mother and daughter from Ghana) might be at the end of next transfer, so I might be able to if transferred.
Sharon and Katie, though, we're sure that they'll move their dates for sooner, so we'll see.
So Sharon, though, that's a cool story. We were getting ready for church yesterday, and the phone rang. We were like, "Who calls the missionaries on a Sunday morning?" but we answered, and this is roughly how the conversation went:
"Hello, this is Sister Mahoni and Sister Miller."
"Hi, this is Sharon."
"... Hi Sharon. How can we help you today?"
"Do you remember me? I was taking out my trash a couple weeks ago, and you gave me a mormon.org card."
"Uhhh..."
"That's okay. What times are your services? I attended (another church that I'm sure is doing their best to come unto Christ in their own ways) last week, and I didn't feel welcomed."
So Sharon came to church with us. She loved it, and wants to bring her kids next week. After church, we showed her the baptismal font, explained baptism, and invited her to be baptized. (:
Also, early this week, we started getting itchy. Our legs and arms are just super itchy. We kind of ignored it for a few days, until it started getting worse, and we starting getting bumps, like mosquito bites or something, but it's too cold for mosquitoes. We were trying to subtly scratch at a family home evening the other day, and telling them this story about how we're itchy, and it must be some kind of bug bite, but not mosquitoes, and they were like, "Ohhh, stop scratching. Those look like spider bites, and the more you scratch, the more the venom spreads."
So that's awesome. They told us that we probably had a spider living in our sheets or blankets or something, and that would explain how we wake up with more bites and don't notice it happening. After emailing and shopping, we are spending our p-day washing all of our bed clothes.
Lot you all lots and lots!
