Hi family!!!

Well......where do i even begin. Its been quite an eventful week. Jocelyn is out of the hospital and doing better. We finally were able to teach her last Saturday and she came to church on Sunday. She looks alot better. I guess this all happened because the many many medicines she had been taking for both her physical and mental problems caused her body to just kind of shut down in a way....Sad. She was hearing voices again but all is well. They went away....hopefully...

We also were able to teach Bob again. Twice actually. Our second appointment with him was crazy!!!! We brought Sister Billiard along this time....another talkaholic unfortunately. How can people talk so much????? Its definately a talent thats for sure!!! Bob decided to invite a "friend" to come over as well.....a female "friend". heehee who knew Bob was dating??? Well it turned out that Sister Billiard and this female "friend" of Bob's, Mary Kay, knew each other! Sister Billiard has been around Norwalk for quite some time. She grew up here, graduated high school (same year as Bob even just different states) and adventually moved back with Brother Billiard at some point to raise their two kids. Mary Kay has been working at the local Walmart for a long long time and apparently Brother and Sister Billiard have been crossing paths with her for years!!! Anyways...the fellowship from Sister Billiard was awesome and she was able to share her conversion story with them. It was just really hard at times to take control of the conversation....heehee
Last night we were able to meet with Bob again this time with Brother and Sister Perdue. It went well! We talked about how God is his Father and that he can grow closer to him through prayer. He is so open to everything and even said he would work on having personal prayers. The next step will be to get him to be comfortable praying with us!!! Im excited for Bob!!!
Unfortunately I wont be around to see where it will go with him.....yes sad sad news. Im getting transferred :(
Im really sad to leave Norwalk especially to leave Sister Everson. I only got to serve with her for 6 weeks!! No fair!!!! She will actually be training a brand new missionary!!!! So that means my time as a full proselyting missionary is over.....back to Kirtland. Im so scared!!!!!! Its going to be like my first day all over again!!! Man!!!
Well thats kind of my week in a nut shell....sorry i don't have alot of time today. We were only given from 10-12 to email, pack and clean and then tomorrow is transfers. Thursday we have a all day Thanksgiving P-day....not sure where I will be spending it but Im sure there will be lots of yummy food and hopefully time to write letters and sleep.....i need some sleep.....:)
I love you family!!!!! I hope you all have a fabulous thanksgiving!!! I will be thinking about you!!!

Love,
Sister Houston
