This past week has been so good! Thanksgiving was so much
fun! We had a dinner at the church that the sweet senior couple Elder and
Sister Smith (mostly Sister Smith) put together for everyone that didn't have
family here and nowhere to go! We had a beautiful turkey and ham and so many
yummy desserts! Our friend Juliana and her cute children came and our friend
Mark came too! After that we went to member's homes to share gratitude messages
and guess what? Our friend/investigator Mark followed us in his car and came to
all of our appointments with us! It was awesome! We were able to introduce him
to so many amazing people in our ward and it was such a lovely day! I love
missionary holidays!
We had a really good lesson with our friend Sergio this past
week and he came to church again and loved it! We were able to watch the
Restoration video in Spanish during 3rd hour and it was so great! We are just
loving the work here and feel so grateful to be here! We had another amazing
lesson last night with our friends Miguel and Martin with our cute member Sis
Patterson. Miguel is SO tall! I've never met a Hispanic who is so tall! They
are the nicest guys but they're leaving in a few weeks to go back to Mexico.
That's one of the hardest things here is that so many of the people we teach
are only here temporarily and it's hard to say bye to them! I'm grateful for their
kindness and the time we have to get to know them and share the gospel.
I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving and appreciated the
time you had with friends and family to remember what you are grateful
for!
It's finally Christmas season!!! I'm going to post one of my
favorite Christmas talks that I hope you find time to read! I hope we will
start preparing now to remember the real reason we celebrate and can feel the
love of our Savior and our Heavenly Father during this special time.
