good afternoon
well my thanksgiving, well lets just say I’m glad I’m still walking. haha wow we almost had 5 "food" appointments set for the day. we played football for 2 hours with other missionaries and members/investigators in the snow - not much and nothing stuck but it was snow - before we left the house to play we got a call from a member asking us to come over and eat - we had time and didn't want to say no so we set it.

after playing we were driving home and we got another call from another member who wanted us to come eat - we didn't have time so he said if anything cancelled go to his house - so we ended up with 4 set appointments; luckily for us 1 cancelled and it was our last one so we said no more appointments. so 3 meals of turkey then the food from their country. some of it was good and other not as much. my comp and i drove home after our 2nd meal to make ourselves throw up so we could fit more food for our 3rd appointment (we hadn't cancelled our last one yet) and it didn't work but i think it made more room none the less. we were able to eat without worry at the last appointment and able to enjoy it as well.
whats funny is twice at 2 different appointments a member talked about how the missionaries beforehand however long ago it was, set up more than 3 dinner appointments and we tried to keep from laughing - it worked with one and not the other. it was all good and fun though.
I’m glad you enjoyed your birthday. I’m glad everyone liked the card. sounds like it went well.
so i know who holly is but like you said, not very well. I’m glad she was still able to make the wedding happen and get well in time.
haha black Friday - crazy crazy crazy! i don’t' know why but i guess if you get the deals its worth it right? it snowed Thursday and everyday since then its not snowed and its been about normal, maybe a little more chilly but feels the same. i'm glad the house is all decorated now. I’m not worried about decorations or a tree - its just more stuff to carry around in suitcases for another year or so. thank you for the offer.
so ya we had 4 set for the day but only went to 3; i tried to make myself throw up and nothing came so i guess i wasn't full enough to get rid of anything. i don't know how my body does it. the weather snowed for a 2 or so hours on Thursday and that was it. nothing stuck. it's really felt about the same the whole week temperature wise.
we went to visit an investigator and she had a friend with her. our invest. ended up having to do something which left us with her friend but before leticia (our invest.) left she told her friend to listen to us about the BoM. we found a new investigator from that visit. it was cool. i was going to tell you last week about an appointment we had 2 weeks ago where we showed up late to a members home.

the start of the lesson wasn’t the best feeling since we were an hour late but at the end they asked us to give some blessings. my comp gave one and i gave one and the third person asked me to give him the blessing. so i gave 2 blessings, in Spanish, and it was my first time every to give a blessing. i don't remember much of what i said just i know i wasn't saying whatever i wanted. i felt a difference in my mindset and i felt the words be put in my mind for me. i know i almost didn't want to say anything b/c it might've been said in one of the other blessings but i said it anyway. it was a cool experience and i know that really, when we are worthy, we are guided.
this church is crazy but its true, which is why its crazy. once your in the church and you know its true i don’t know how someone can leave it. it drives me nuts but Satan is powerful and he knows our weaknesses just as well as Christ knows our pains. we are in a literal battle between righteousness and evil and the temporal things are making a stand. if we are not prepared, if our minds are not set, satan will attack us in a way we are not expecting and that could throw us down hill so far and so fast we wouldn't know what happened.
enough preaching from me, sorry i went off on a tangent. so we had a baptism yesterday! i'll send home a picture. this girl, marisol, came to us saying she wanted to be baptized! it was fun and good b/c her older siblings were baptized, a few months ago but her mom wasn’t. her uncle and his parents were also baptized a few months ago yet they haven gone a little inactive but marisol is going to bring them back - she loves the church and wants to go every Sunday.
we have transfers on Tuesday - i don't know until sunday night/monday morning if I’m staying or if I’m going but i'll let you know next week. if i stay i might be driving..... :) so i had a thought about a movie soundtrack, the prince of Egypt. have you seen the movie or listened to the soundtrack? I’ve heard its good music and that the mormon tab. choir actually did most of the songs.... could i possibly get that as well, if you feel its appropriate? and what is the best way to pay my tithing, if i receive money from people??
i love you all and thank you so much for everything! have a great week!
