Thanksgiving

December 2, 2013

Hey family!

 

This week was really great! Lots of good stuff happened!

 

We had some really great lessons with our investigators this week! the spirit truly guided us this week! one thing I've been trying to focus on is the number or quality lessons and daily contact instead of quantity...there are a lot missionaries who focus too much on the numbers and looking good with how many they teach lessons that they forget the why we teach. so that has been going good for us!

 

for thanksgiving 2 members invited us over and one of our investigators did as well! it was all really good! and in the mean time when we weren't eating we went through different ward members and investigators to pass out thank you cards! that was really fun to do! I felt really good doing that.

 

then on Saturday the ward had a thanksgiving dinner and we had a lot of our investigators come!!!! it was great!!! and a member who I had just gotten to know this past week who they are a great family!!! she brought me chicken and gluten free spaghetti to eat since there was turkey! it was so nice!!!! honestly having celiac out here has been a huge blessing being able to connect with people! same with my other infirmities! so I see them as blessings!

 

at church we had 2 investigators come! we were so excited!!!! one was her first time since we've been teaching her! she has progressed soo much! the only down side it that she is going back to el Salvador for the holiday season and we are going to see if we baptize her before she goes or pray nothing bad happens while she is gone!!

 

also yesterday we helped out with 3 different blessings! we've been giving a lot of blessings lately! which is so great that we get to use the priesthood to bless the lives of others!!!

 

so now we won't be getting the ipads until January because the missionary department has had some delays... but I'm ok with that! haha!

 

in those pictures I don't know if it was an optical illusion or what but Michael looks huge haha! especially in the one when ya'll are in front of the fence haha!

 

we are working really hard, and I feel like we are so close to getting some more baptisms! just if we keep pushing I know that our work will get paid off!

 

I sure love you all!!!! hope everything goes great for you!!!

Con amor,
