I can't believe it, i opened my call this week last year! Time flies. I will miss you all lots on Thanksgiving, that sounds like it will be so much fun! Don't worry i will be taken care of-- probably a little too well. We are going to a members house who has the missionaries over every year then we have a Thanksgiving party with the ward on Saturday. We aren't going grocery shopping this week, except for milk. :) And we ate papusas, my FAVORITE last night and i am still full, its disgusting. Thank you SO much for the package!! Thanksgiving and half way! So cute and creative as always. We LOVE the mix! So yummy. And those suckers= to die for. You guys are the best. I really have been so blessed with such an amazing family (not because of packages haha) for so many different reasons. You guys are my happy and i am so grateful for each and every one of you.
This week was great! We had mega zone conference on Wednesday and it was perfect. Especially for my half way day. It just made me realize what an amazing experience i am living and that i want to make sure i give my all every day and let this change me for the rest of my life and continue living righeously after. Missions really do change people! The gospel and love of God and Christ is so powerful. We were able to meet a new investigator, (J). She is GOLDEN. She is from Mexico, she has a husband and a 14 year old son. She is so smart and already knows quite a bit. She came to church yesterday and loved it! I am so excited to contiue teaching her. We also had another investigator at church, (A) who is 12. i hope we can teach her more because the gospel is so important growing up at that age! Then you have the moments when you go to look someone up from a teaching record they say the person doesn't live there but then invite you to come back. Those are rare but precious! We had the primary program yesterday, oh my SO cute. You should hear it in Spanish its adorable. Little children are such good examples to me.
Missionary moment of the week: we were leaving this building from trying to find someone and i got on the elevator to go down and next thing i know the elevator is closing and Sister Franklin is on the other side leaning over fixing her boot. I tried to stick my foot in so that it wouldn't close but it just kept goin!! The way we looked at each other was priceless. I was like "uh oh my no wait i can't leave you ah!" So i'm chillin in the elevator trying to open the door and not push the emergancy button at the same time! Finally i get it open and Sister Franklin is just cracking up then i start laughing so hard with her! Ah, only if you've been a missionary will you know how we felt haha. Its going to be so weird to not be with someone 24/7 when i get home.
Mom asked me some questions that i will answer for all of you...Yes we walk, ride buses and trains everywhere! There is no other option. The cold here is deathly, it goes right through you. It is hard to find spanish people here, yes. But they're floatin around here somewhere! Hopefully the english classes we are teaching will bring more.
I love you all so very much!! Have a very happy thanksgiving!!!
