Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello Family.
Happy Thanksgiving. I will be excited to hear that it is celebrated because here that holiday is far past gone. I am so grateful for all of you. There is so much that the Lord has blessed me and Sister Henderson with. We know that it is such a blessing to be a part of the Lord's work. We met a girl 2 sundays ago and met with a woman named Pam. She has 2 little kids and we went to go talk to her on the street. The great thing was that when we met with her she had a chance to really listen to what we were saying she has a baptismal date for Dec. 20. We are so excited for it. I know that it will be a great experience for her. She is sweet! She has had a lot of hard things but I know that this will do wonders for her family. we have met a lot of others this week that we are excited about. We got our transfer calls last night. And.... I am staying here to see the work progress. I will be staying with sister Henderson who is one of my best friends and also getting Sister Sullivan back. So we will be in a 3 here in portage. We will be able to accomplish so much. And I know that it will bless this area to have 3 of us accomplishing everything. I love the gospel. I love that Heavenly Father knows our needs and gives us according to them. I love the members here. And the ones that are soon to be one. It has been an amazing week. We have seen one miracle after the next. I think the Lord is someone who is so kind and loving and that we really are suppose to find joy here. It should be a great transfer. We are excited that SIster Sullivan is coming to serve here. Yesterday we went to a less-actives house and we did some service. Well, it was hilarious because as we were leaving her dog bolted out the door. So we have the 3 of us trying to catch this reindeer of a dog, it took us probably 5 minutes running after this dog until we got it. We were laughing pretty hard because it was so fast. And she got tricked by sister Henderson. She was pretty grateful
though. We also did service for another lady who typically we knock and walk in. Well we had set up this time to do service. So we knocked walked in and she was asleep. Well we promised we would help her so we did her dishes and swept the floor and cleaned off this table. She slept the whole time... talk about secret service hehe. The phone even rang but still to no prevail did she wake up so we left a scripture on her table and left not even saying one word to her. hehe. It was great because this member has been pretty sick so it was probably good for her. We are teaching a lady from Sao Paulo brazil English. She is so sweet. We are teaching her what things are, Pronunciation, sentences, and everything else imaginable. But she really opened up to us, and even though there is a language barrier we understand each other and feel her appreciation to us for our help just humbled me so much to think how wonderful she really is and how much we can be angels in others lives by the actions we do. I loved it. So at this time of year I am grateful for the countries we live in, the gospel that has blessed our family, the scriptures and living prophet we have so we can find answers to our questions, and the chance I have to be in the service of our loving Father in Heaven. I love you all. take care of yourselves! And I will write again soon!
Love, Sister North
