Lesson with Gerry: Thursday night, we met back up with Gerry, the person we dropped the Bible off for last week. The lesson was in his tiny trailer with no electricity or anything, and it was him, us, and a big dog. As we started to teach, the dog started to whine and bark SO much it was distracting Gerry from the lesson. This went on for about 10 min, and then I decided to say a silent prayer that the Holy Ghost would come in and touch Gerrys heart as we taught, and all distractions would leave. And I kid you not, immediately, the Holy Ghost entered, the dog fell asleep, and we taught Gerry a very profound, and spirit-filled lesson.

Church tour with our new friends Jolee and Madi: Jolee and Madi are two high school girls that we found through Facebook. They attend a local community church, but have been exploring other churches. Once the leaders of their community church found out they were interested in our church, they exposed these two girls with absolutely every kind of Anti about the church. So we had a call lesson with them and they asked us questions about almost every false ideals of our church. We answered them correctly, and taught them the correct principles, and they agreed to come take a tour of our church building.

The Church tour went really well, they thought our building was pretty cool. But me and Elder Walcer had a prompting to show them the Meet The Mormons movie after the tour was over. They were ok to watch it so we did. The spirit was SO STRONG during the movie it was crazy. They felt the spirit too. And then we bore our testimonies and the spirit was even stronger. After the tour, these girls said they would come to church this week, and they don't really want to go back to their community church.

The Householders: The Householders are sick. They are members who own a bed and breakfast here in Port Alberni, and are from Utah! They were on vacation for the last month or so, so they now back here in Port Alberni! They have been so nice and generous to us this week! They fed us not once, but 3 times, and one was for Thanksgiving! In return we raked a TON of leaves on their massive property. If you thought raking leaves was bad, just add a scoop of prickly chestnuts with every haul. But the Householders are so nice and we have grown pretty close to them in just one week!

Today, I am here in Vancouver to visit the Temple with my Zone! Its been so much fun to see all the other missionaries, and I also will be in Victoria on an Exchange with Elder Peñúñuri my Zone Leader! So I will be with Elder Achal and Elder Canals again for that one night! Its pretty much how it was back in Kamloops haha. I'm excited for the Temple & Victoria! Its gonna be an interesting week!

Hope yall are doing well! Happy late Thanksgiving!

-Elder Biesinger
