hey there family!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
it's kinda wierd because it doesn't really seem like thanksgiving. just because we are still just doing missionary work and stuff. it's good though :) my comp and i have a few different places to eat tomorrow! haha tomorrow will be our p-day, but our mission president still wanted us to do shopping, laundry, email today before 12. i think some missionaries are going to meet up in the morning to play volleyball/basketball at the church, then we'll head out to stuff our faces. i look forward to it. it's interesting though because all the hispanic people here celebrate thanksgiving late in the day! haha we had all our invitations for either 6 or 7! only one family invited us at noon, so we'll get thanksgiving lunch, and dinner :)
i hope you all love and enjoy thanksgiving together. it's a fun holiday. you get to eat, and eat, be with family, and think about all the blessings that you have in your life. i hope you are all always remembering the things that the Lord has blessed our family with.
i'll miss your pies mom! but i won't miss out on the feeling of exploding! because hispanic people love to feed us haha. and sometimes we eat twice in a row. whew, it's hard work. but the love my companion and i for being able to eat their food haha.
well dad, you had asked about the golden woman we found. we've been struggling to get into contact with her, because of her work schedule, it's crazy. but anyway we talked with her daughter yesterday and we're going to stop by their house this sunday before church. hopefully things go well! things have been pretty... like a rollercoaster! we have been working hard and have seen the Spirit work with people. and we've also seen times where we lose contact with people! and then we find someone new waiting for us. so it's up and down and then back up again. i love it though, because it makes me try harder to focus on the fact that this is the LORDS work and not mine. i need to follow what the spirit teaches me and let things work on the Lords time instead of my own.
we recently got into contact with William. we had a come-back appointment to teach him. but when we arrived, we found out he wasn't at home. so we got our bikes and were about to head off, when my companion realized his tire was flat. so i took out my pump and started to fill it with air. it's a hand-pump so it takes a while to fill a tire up! but just when i was about done, guess who came walking up?? William! coincidence? i think not. haha he apologized and let us come in so we could teach him. he had EXCELLENT questions! and his understanding of what we taught was incredible. he enjoyed what we had to teach him and we look forward to going back friday. he said he would be baptized when he gets his answer on things. the only problem is that he works every sunday right now. but when i mentioned that hopefully we could work out a way to get him sundays off, he had no problem with it. i'm excited to see where he goes.
we're still working with lazaro. he's progressing, i guess i just wish he was moving a little faster! haha but it's okay. the important thing is that he feels ready and committed. he went to a "Turkey Bowl" with the ward last saturday and really liked that.
i am so grateful for all of you. i love you all so much. we are so blessed to have the gospel in our lives and to know all the things that we must do to be happy here and in the life to come. we are so blessed for the sound understanding of the gospel that others don't have. everyday i'm so very grateful to be able to have the testimony i do. it's undescribable.
i look forward to talking to you all next week!
love,
