Happy Thanksgiving

November 20, 2017

Heloooooo!!! This week was pretty good. Not much happened though so it went super slow. Trish has been out of town the past couple weeks so we have only been able to see her once for a quick visit. She is still reading though so that's good! Hopefully we will see her progress more soon! There is this bread stuff we got to try this week. It is called Lefsa. We helped a former investigator make it one day and then Delores fed it to us for dinner one night! It's kinda just like a glorified tortilla. We met a guy named Amos this week who bible bashed us pretty bad.. He had a huge family so hopefully someday they will be baptized!! We got a referral from a member forever ago that we finally got to contact this week. Unfortunately she wasn't interested but she gave us some super yummy cinnamon bread that I've been eating all weekend:) It warmed up a bit at the beginning of the week and so there was lots of slush, then the temperature dropped again and everything froze, making it REALLY slick. The boots that I have been wearing don't have super great traction so I fell a lot this week. Only a couple were pretty bad, and I survived with only a few minor injuries. We were outside for most of the day on Saturday and it was FREEZING!! We went back to our apartment for dinner and both had windburn pretty bad. We tried to take a picture but there was fog on my camera from being out in the cold so it wasn't great quality. Deer season is finally over.. so now there are dead deer everywhere. We saw a lot this week either hanging from trees, cut up on people's porches or garages. or in people's kitchens. One guy had just a head hanging in his garage.. that was pretty gross! We started a Jesus Christ study as a mission this week and it has been really cool! I have really loved learning more about the Savior, just in time to kick off the Christmas season!!
One of my favorite talks from general conference was Elder Rasband's.. "If we act in faith, one step at a time, we will be guided by the Lord's hand. By divine design He is in the small details of our lives as well as the major milestone." I know this to be true and I know that Heavenly Father is guiding us every step of the way. There's a power that can cause things to happen that need to happen!!! I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving:)
