Ho-ho-ho man, that was fast!

🎅🏿🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!
That being said, hello! It's been a crazy week filled with happy, sad,
funny, and just plain nice moments. I can't believe it's been a year
since last Christmas! It's freaking me out! But anyway, here was my
week:

Monday I spent the morning with Elder Moore and Elder Jorgensen, since
my companion got his turn to go to the temple. Both of them (Elders
Moore and Jorgensen) got the transfer call, so they were packing and
such. Then we went to the mall with Salazar and Spencer, mainly to
just meet up. Then we picked up Peterson and went to Steak N' Shake
one last time together. Our waitress was sad to hear they were
leaving. Then we all left for the church building to meet the sisters.
They didn't end up coming for a few hours, so we played chair soccer
with the other guys. Then they came and we all played chair soccer.
Their ride ended up being super late too, and since they couldn't be
alone in the church building, we had to wait with them for a while. We
played baseball with a hacky sack and a flip flop and other assorted
boredom games and then they just agreed to wait outside. That was
about  it for our day. Oh! Elder Jorgensen got this game from his mom.
It was a bunch of chocolate dipped caramels with fancy flavors that
you had to guess. I didn't do great (66%) but hey, free fancy candy.
My kind of game. :P

Tuesday was about the same. We were on bike week, and we realized when
we tried to bike to the other guys for a ride that our bikes were
still at the R's house. So we stayed closer to home. We helped
the other guys clean their apartment in prep for the new people. We
had the theory that it would be sisters, based on our counts, so we
had to clean extra hard. We had dinner at the H's and then
went to go see some people. We met a really cool family and taught
them, then we went to go see A. and L. They got a new dog,
who was extremely happy to see us.

Wednesday was transfers, and as usual there were surprises! So, here
is our new district: Elder Peterson and I in East, Elder Salazar and
Elder Spencer in South, Sister Brown and Sister Bennett (woo she's
over here now!) in Horn Lake and Sister Reed and Sister Madsen in the
NEW South area. So, Memphis North is now closed, and we are the only
Spanish from here to Jackson, TN. Elder Jorgensen is opening that area
with Elder Meza. Elder Moore went to Russellville with.... the OTHER
Elder Moore! My son is now with Elder Peterson's son, and both of them
have the exact same name. It's great. So that happened. Also, since
some areas closed, we got a car! So, with that, we immediately
proceeded to ransack the now abandoned North apartment. Elder
Jorgensen had left a lot of the food his family sent him since he
didn't have room. Now ours. They also have really good mattresses.
Also ours. Good office chairs too. Ours. In essence, we are now
stocked for the month with some really good stuff. Thanks guys! :P
After we finished our pillaging, we went teaching. We got to go see
the O. family with Sister Hunt and Abel, one of the youth in the
branch. It was really good!

Thursday we continued the Sacking of the Northern Territory. We got a
lot of good stuff from there. Then we started integrating the plan
Elder Peterson had come up with. You see, we have about 700 of last
year's Christmas pass along cards that they didn't end up using (who
knows why) and we decided that since they had the same website on the
back, they were still good. So we set the goal of giving out all of
them before Christmas. I'm not sure what we got ourselves into, but so
far so good! No, we haven't given out as much as we thought, but we
have met some pretty cool people doing it!  It was also a good day
because it got cold and I could wear my coat. :)

Friday was really cool! We got together as a zone to go spend the day
working for Toys for Tots! It was a blast. Totally doing that next
year. We were there for 5 hours sorting toys and "shopping" for the
people that were coming the next day. It was exhausting, but great.
After that we did more Christmas blitzing and found more people. Then
Elder Heaton and Elder Doty came over from Little Rock for a sealing
the next day and spent the night with us.

Saturday was more service. We helped out a member's family clean out
their house. They'd  had a small chicken fire (that's not autocorrect,
they accidentally left one cooking for about 6 hours and it
incinerated) and it had smelled like it for weeks. So, we got a deep
clean organized and took everything out, washed the walls and
everything, and put it back. And that was all before noon! Then we
dropped Elder Heaton off at the temple so he could go. I talked with
B. from Jonesboro in the waiting room (SO weird, I
Skyped for Christmas at their place LAST year 0.o). Then we got taken
out to eat by one of the families from Little Rock. The ex-elder
Ramirez came too! It was nice to see him again and get an update on
all the missionaries. Then we went out teaching for about half an hour
with the zone leaders before heading down to the church for our
interviews with President Wakolo. It went really well! I always like
meeting with him. We found out when we got there that they were having
a farewell party for J.T., who is going on a mission to
Kennewick Washington in a couple weeks. President Wakolo stayed for a
while and ate with his family, which was pretty cool!

Oh haha so funny conversation when he was talking to the entire district:
Elder Spencer: yeah, we've been eating a lot of tamales lately.
Pres: Oh, that is really good. It's not an avocado, but it's close, right?
Everybody: .....uhh.... What?
Pres: Isn't it green, you mash it up.......?
Everybody: oh, guacamole, President. That's actually avocado too.
President: Ah, I see. Well. (Points to Sister Madsen) What is a... Tamale?

Haha it was great. We are slowly converting him though.

Sunday was pretty good too! I gave a talk with about an hour of prep
for it since someone got sick. Haha that was an interesting
experience. It was alright though. We were there for a while planning
for the week, but later that night we went out with President Perez to
go see the P. family. It was pretty good. I really hope they come
to church this week though.

Well, hope y'all have a fantastic Christmas! I'll see a few of you
friday, but as for the rest of you, I hope you have a good one!
Remember the Savior and everything He did.
It's cheesy but He is the reason for the season. All of the seasons,
really. And everything else haha! Bye! Love you lots!

Pics: Didn't take too many this week, but here is a picture of the
sealing, with the Little Rock people!

I picked out my gravesite today

Hey everyone! Transfer calls happened today and.... I'M STAYING!!!
Looks like I will be dying in Memphis! I'm super excited. Elder
Peterson is staying here too, so it's gonna be a great transfer!

Monday was a ton of fun! We practiced our stuff for the talent show,
which went ok. It's hard to practice much when you're a missionary, so
it went about as good as you'd expect. Then we headed down to
Southaven, Mississippi as a district and went bowling. It was a ton of
fun! One of the sisters' recent converts showed up, too. I don't think
any of us got higher than 122 (I didn't break 100) but it was still
really fun. Then we went to the Tanger Outlet mall, to do a bit of
"looking at stuff I don't have money for" shopping. Then we went to
Family Home Evening at the D's house. It was great, we had a really
good lesson and then played Uno. I got family flashbacks :P

Tuesday we set about to do some secret service for the R.
family. Unfortunately, they ended up not being home, so we had to move
it to another day. We couldn't find a lot of people outside until
later that night, but we did manage to see some people! We had a
really cool lesson with this couple, L. and L., about the power
of the Book of Mormon. They had read what we had left them, which was
great, but they didn't really see why it was important. I guess when
we had taught them about it, they were under the impression that it
was just selections taken from the Bible. Soooo we fixed that one.
It's actually a really common misconception people have. The Book of
Mormon is a completely separate book from the Bible. Two histories,
two civilizations, so completely different records. However, they
teach the same gospel. It's like taking two different algebra books.
The examples and problems will be different. The order may be
different. But the principles are the same. You learn math from both
of them. It's the same idea with the Book of Mormon and the Bible.
Reading both only strengthens your knowledge and testimony of the
principles of he gospel of Christ. It's that simple.

Wednesday we managed to do the service for the R. family! They
still don't know for sure who did it though, so shhh :P Then we did a
lot of walking to find some new people. And we found some too! It was
great, and we got some exercise. We also saw the Pinto family. We
really want to see them progress, but there is so much works against
them. Guess that means Satan really doesn't want them in church, so we
will work harder on them :)

Thursday was the Christmas Zone Conference! We got there about an hour
late because we went and helped a less active member change the tire
on her truck. Not the easiest thing to do in a suit, let me tell you.
:P It was a great meeting though. It was Elder Wells' LAST MEETING!
That's crazy! I remember him from my second transfer! We had a gift
exchange, made from stuff we had around the apartment. I struck gold,
and got a Nerf gun. Then we did the talent show, which was crazy.
Everything went well, barely. It was still good though. We have some
talented people in the mission! Then we got to watch a movie, the one
time a year we get to. We watched the Cokeville Miracle, about a
terrorist attack at an elementary school where no one died, and all
the miracles that went with it. It was a pretty good movie. It was
pretty intense for the people who hadn't seen a movie in like two
years, like me :P That was about all we had time for. We went to the
chapel and helped clean up from the branch making 400 tamales for the
Christmas party Friday, which got me pretty stoked.

Friday was sweet! We went to our first appointment and they weren't
home, so we talked to the neighbors who were outside and had a good
lesson with them. We gave each of the 7 of them a Book of Mormon,
which meant we were out of books. So, we went back home, got some and
did a lot of planning for the next week/transfer. Then we went down to
the Christmas party! It was advertised to start at 6:30, so everyone
would be there by seven. That was the "secret" start time. So
naturally, everyone showed up around 7:45. It was still a good program
though. They had singing, piñatas, Santa, and a lot of tamales. I got
like a dozen. They're in the freezer right now :P

Saturday went ok. We weren't able to do much teaching, mainly just
walking around. No one was home, except for those who were sick. We
got some district Christmas shopping done while waiting for the other
guys to pick us up for dinner (I got everyone funny Christmas socks,
they're fantastic) and then we went to the B. house for dinner.
It was pretty good, and it's always fun at their house! We had a bit
of a jam session at his request, and everyone just had fun. We are
going over again Christmas Eve. Aww yeah.

Sunday even less got done. Church was awesome though! We were in a
meeting before church and we got a call from a random number. Turns
out it was a less active who hadn't been to church in years! He ran
into Peterson and Butler a few months back and got our number, then
called to get a ride to church. So that was cool! Also another cool
thing, R. got baptized! R. is the husband of this family the sisters
have been teaching. He is the last one to get baptized! He's a stud.
So yeah, that happened. Then we took pictures with our Christmas socks
(which they loved woo) and went home. Since we were on bike week, the
other elders drove us down to our appointments. None of them were here
for them to drop us, though, and then it started dumping rain. So that
kinda ruined it. But it was a good day looking back!

Hope you guys have a great week! AHH CHRISTMAS IS SO CLOSE!!!
Pics: the district with our funny socks! Aww we are awesome.

Christmas socks

Saying bye to Sister Aase and Elder Ernst! Also saying hi to Sister Tester!

Oh, Christmas tree...

Hey y'all! It was a pretty good week out here in Memphis! Busy, though. 
Monday was pretty good! I had my doctors appointment, which went
really well, a lot better than I thought it would be. Then I stopped
in the Little Rock building to go see my peeps there. Diaz, his new
companion Elder Anaya (who I wish I could serve with, he's awesome),
Sister Bennett and Sister Hudson, and all the rest of the gang. It was
great! Then we drove back to Memphis and went to see the R
family. That went super well, we got to talk with everyone.

Tuesday we had our standard district meeting and then we did a lot of
singing practice. We have a pretty full schedule: Thursday is a "find
the lost sheep" activity in the branch, which The district and I are
singing at, then Saturday we have a stake/citywide nativity event,
which all the zone is singing at, and THEN the zone conference talent
show, which we are both singing and dancing in. I am doing a solo in
each of them, but it's the same song so it isn't as bad. So we did
that, and then had some lunch at Gallo Giro. Then we went and saw the
L girls and their dad and read in the Book of Mormon with them.
Then we saw the P family and taught two of the  sons the
Restoration. It went really well, and they accepted it!

Wednesday was a little slower. We had a lot of stuff fall through.
J had another problem come up, so now he won't be here for a week.
We did manage to see the P, and that went well. We committed them
to come to the activity Thursday, which will be great! Then during
dinner we set up our Christmas tree. I attached a picture. We figured
since it was fake, it would need some help smelling like a tree. Plus,
pine scented car fresheners weren't that expensive. :P


Thursday was spent getting ready for the branch activity that night.
Elder Doty and Elder Heaton were here again, and we went out teaching
with them for a bit too. The activity went pretty well. The idea was
this: A lot of the less active members in the branch are from
Honduras, so President P organized an activity centered around
them. One of the missionaries from here, Elder T, is serving in
the Honduras Tegulcigalpa Mission, so he got the branch he was serving
in together and we had a Skype testimony meeting with them.
Afterwards, we had some dinner together. It was good. The best part
was that the P family came! They really loved the activity, and
the members fellowshipped them a lot.

Friday we went to downtown Memphis to the courthouse, so Elder
Peterson could work out his speeding ticket. It was pretty crazy, but
thanks to a member who is a lawyer we got everything dismissed.
Apparently, due to the mistakes made on the ticket (the car owner was
"the Baptist church" and they got his name and address wrong) it could
not be assumed that any information on the ticket was true. So he got
off clean. Since we were down there and it was our lunch hour, we
stopped on Beale Street, one of the main historical streets. It was
pretty cool. 

We contacted an exchange student from Brazil too. She was
cool! She lives in Massachusetts though, so Bailey, keep an eye out
for that referral :P After that, we got a call from Bro. L asking
us to help him by doing some translating at he hospital for him. His
dad had been in there for a week, and they were going to work out the
outpatient treatment for him. That took a looooong time, and so we got
out just in time for dinner at the Rs, which was good. Then we
went over to visit the Ds, and got to have a good talk with them.


Saturday was also spent getting ready for a Christmas thing. The stake
does an annual Nativity festival, with a lot of other churches
involved and stuff. Our zone was asked to perform some Christmas songs
that night. We were planning to do some teaching and then go down, but
I got called in to translate for a baptismal interview, so we went
down south, only to find that she had moved it last minute to 5 p.m. We
didn't have the miles to go back, so we just got some extra practice
time. The performance went well. Not many people were there, but it
was still good.

Sunday was eh. I had caught a cold the night before, so I was pretty
out of it and couldn't do much. We did get to watch the Christmas
devotional, which was nice. We watched it at the R house with
the Rs, and it was really great. They had a friend over, and she
watched it too! Woo! We also helped them decorate their Christmas
tree, which was fun.

So that was my week! We still have a lot to do this week, so hopefully
it all works out well! I love all of you guys a lot!
Here's the tree haha

Thanks

Hello from Little Rock! I had another doctor's appointment so I came
down last night with Elder Heaton and Elder Doty. Anyway, this week
was so incredible. Since it was the week of Thanksgiving, I decided to
choose one thing a day to be especially  thankful for.

Monday we didn't do anything at all. Just sat around, emailed, and
went to Steak N' Shake. After that we had a pretty good day though! We
saw a really sweet old couple, A and O. They have been
investigating the church for a looooong time now, but due to some
complications they have had trouble getting a living situation
together to be baptized. (Family note: A reminds me a lot of
Evelyn. She's super cool.) We read in the Book of Mormon with her,
which she reads a lot and has really marked up. After her, we saw the
L family. They are super cool, but they hadn't been to church in a
few weeks, so we went to find out why. It turns out both of them had
been sick and had car trouble, so they had been unable to come. I had
the privilege to give them both blessings. It is something I really
love about being a missionary, having the priesthood authority to
bless people. I love being able to help people, and on top of that I
really feel the Spirit guiding me. So, Tuesday I was grateful for the
priesthood.

Tuesday we had district meeting. It went really well, and we learned a
lot about how we aren't just missionaries, but we need to be friends
too. That's one of my weaknesses as a missionary: As much Spanish as I
know, small talk kills me. I can't really even do it in English, let
alone Spanish. It's just awkward for me. So that is something I want
to work on the next few months. After some cinnamon rolls (we had 3
TUBES of cinnamon rolls in the refrigerator at home, and Peterson
never told me!) we went and saw the L girls. I met their dad,
G, officially for the first time. He is a super cool guy. He has
been to church once already and loved it, and is hoping and praying he
can get work off on Sundays so he can keep going. I got to practice my
small talk a bit, and it went better than expected and we had a great
lesson afterwards with him. Then we went out teaching with Bro. D
and his son E to go see some people. We managed to get in with
the G family and talked to the wife. I actually was the first
one to find her when I was with Elder Heaton in the summer. I didn't
think it would amount to much, but apparently she reads regularly and
is super interested! I'm grateful for missionaries being diligent and
following up. We are working on the rest of her family. Anyway, we had
a good lesson with her and then had dinner at the Hs. It was
super fun, as usual. Sister H made a ton of homemade
tortillas, and I ended up in a face making contest with one of T's,
the youngest, friends on Snapchat. T kept posting and sending
random pictures of the missionaries, and since I was next to her I
ended up having to mimick one of her friend's expressions every time
she replied. So now one of her friends thinks we're hilarious.
Hopefully we can share the gospel with her sometime!

Wednesday we couldn't catch many people at home. We did manage to
teach A again, and read Alma 32 with her. She really
understands a lot. She will make a great member someday. I am
extremely grateful for the Book of Mormon. She told us that she is not
only learning spiritual things, but she is improving greatly in her
reading ability! She taught herself to read some time ago, and the
Book of Mormon helps expand her vocabulary according to her. It is
such a powerful book. It changes people in so many ways, and all for
the better. It's great.

Thursday was great. First we went to the Ds and ate with them. They
told us to invite people, so we invited the Cs, a less active
family we felt needed more friends. It seemed to go well! The kids
were a bit shy, but E started entertaining them and hey had fun.
Immediately after them we drove to the P house to eat again. We
didn't eat as much, but we were still stuffed. They had some of their
kids and grandkids over, and we entertained them with a magic trick
they had to figure out. It was a lot of fun. We also "got" to sing for
them on the spot, which went better than expected. I am so grateful to
be here in Memphis. I love all the people here, investigators and
members alike. I am grateful they let us come by.

Friday I was grateful for all the wonderful families we visit. First,
we saw the L girls. We came by without telling them, but the whole
family was home and they fed us anyway. We had a really good time
getting to know all of them better as well as reading the scriptures
with them. Then we saw the C kids. They're a bit of a handful
sometimes (the mom rarely comes out) but we still got them to sit
still for a short lesson. Then we helped them collect pecans from the
tree in heir backyard. (Mom, you'd be jealous. Pecan trees are
everywhere here.) After seeing them we went over to the R
house. We had just missed them every day this week, so we were hoping
and praying they still wanted to be baptized this weekend. We came
over and.... THEY DID! We made plans for Sunday morning and practiced
the interview with them, which they passed with flying colors. I am so
proud of them. Then they left with a friend and we had a good talk
with J and he fixed us some turkey and bacon quesadillas about the
size and thickness of a Chipotle burrito. It took him like 10 minutes.
I need to learn that.

Saturday we had a fantastic day. I would say what I was most grateful
for was the missionaries that I serve around. Elder Wells (from
Conway, he goes home in 2 weeks! Ahh!) and Elder Butler came to give
the Girls the baptismal interview. They passed it! They were super
happy about it. After them, we went and tried to find people, but it
was raining so for a while no one opened the door. After a while, we
got in with one guy named J and his son. They are really cool. We
talked with them for a while, and he had some really good questions.
Then we saw the O family and made sure they understood that
coming to church was the most effective way they would be able to know
that this is the true church. Kinda hard to have an opinion about
something you have never experienced :)

Sunday was extremely stressful/awesome/emotional. I was grateful for
everything. We had planned to baptize D and B before church,
but J was sick and T was working. So we had to move it to
afterwards. Then, the L family had lost their car keys, and I was
stressing out like crazy that they wouldn't make it to church on time
to confirm them, and it was not good for me. But, due to a lot of
prayer on all parts, they made it and got confirmed! Church was good
today. It was the Primary program, so all the adorable little niños
got up to bear their testimonies, and it was adorable. Also, Elder
Heaton came with Elder Doty to baptize B as well as to take me to
Little Rock. Then we got asked literally one minute before if we could
teach the Youth class about missionary work. Again, a little
stressful, but it was a really good experience. I got to share my
testimony that missionary work brings a kind of happiness nothing else
does. I mean, it gets hard sometimes. Really hard. But it's worth
every slammed door, every cuss word we are called, every person who
tells me I don't really believe in who I represent, to be able to
participate and be the instrument of God in saving some of His
children. I hope it stuck with them, because it really stuck with me.
So I was grateful for that chance. Then after church D and B
were baptized and confirmed!!! Man, that was a super long time in he
making. I remember when we first really started teaching them. They
have come so far, and I am so proud of them. After that we all had
dinner together and we headed out to Arkansas!

I have a lot to be grateful for. More than anything, I am grateful for
Jesus Christ and for his sacrifice. He has made me who I am today. I
would not be here without Him.
Love you all, and have a great week!

YAY FOR THE COOL PEOPLE!

Hola hola hola! This week was fantastic! So much good stuff happened! Read on!

Monday we did about the same thing we did last Monday, just relaxed
and did some mall walking. After we did some crazy exercise though.
Elder Peterson has the Insanity workout program, and we have been
doing it for the past few days. It was good, but I totally destroyed
my calf muscles. Walking is very painful, which is great since we
walked all this week. But it was still a good P-day. After that, we
got a ride close to the L house, and biked the rest of the way. We
had a great lesson with them about the plan of salvation. I love
teaching it to kids, because they all have super good questions. And
they had great ones! Then we biked back in the rain to meet with the
others, getting soaked in the process. Always a pleasure.

Tuesday we had specialized training in Southaven, Mississippi. That
makes 3 of the 4 states in the mission I have been to now! I just need
Missouri, but it looks like I won't make it. Oh well. It was a super
good meeting! We got a lot of inspiration on what we can do in our
area with the people we have. I didn't take many notes, so I could pay
more attention to the Spirit. So yeah, it was a great meeting.
Afterwards, the Spanish zone leaders drove us all back in the transfer
van (man, I miss that thing) and we got stuck for a while due to the
freaky storm outside. We finally got out to the L house, only to
find the power in the trailer park had gone out and they didn't open
the door. So, we drove back in the crazy rainstorm. It was nuts.

Wednesday it was nice and sunny outside, which made for a good day. We
were with Elder Doty most of the day. Fist, we saw the R kids
and their mom. We had a super good lesson with them about praying to
know if this is all really true. They seem to already know, but not
deep down yet. We are hoping and praying that they do that. I love
those guys a lot. They are just so incredible. After them, we went (I
limped) to go see the P, and we met their uncle and had a near
perfect lesson with him. That guy is golden. He was answering
questions better than anything I had heard from an investigator. We
invited him to be baptized then and there and he said yes! His name is
L. He is soooo cool. After that we walked for a lot more time,
dropped off Doty and saw the Os. We had a sweet lesson with them
too! Sister H came and we had a really good talk with them and read
in the Book of Mormon. Then we walked back to the Rs' since
Sis. R invited us to have some really good pork roast. And it
was really good. We had a long talk with J about some challenges
he's been having and had a one on one with him.

Thursday we started out helping Sis. P around the house, lifting
heavy stuff and cleaning the yard and all that. She fed us some lunch
and gave us a new supply of Panera bread too. Woo! After that we went
home cleaned up, and started walking to the Rs for dinner, which
was delicious. Hey went out with us afterwards to go see the L
girls. We had a good lesson with them and figured out their baptismal
service for Sunday. Then we went to the Rs' house and had a
good lesson with B and D. We have been working super hard
with D to help her get past her concerns about getting baptized.
She has changed a lot, and it's really cool to see her progress.

Friday was pretty crazy. We found out J had to go due to an
emergency and wouldn't be back until Monday. The girls were going to
have him baptize them, so we had to postpone their baptism. The good
side though: D got her answer! She said she's ready to be
baptized! WOOHOO!! So we are super excited for her. Other than that,
we had dinner at the Ds, and read in the Book of Mormon with the
O family. We read 3 Nephi 11, which is one of the most important
parts of the entire book. It begins the ministry of Jesus Christ among
the people in the Americas. For anyone who hasn't read the Book of
Mormon before, read that part. It's sweet. They liked it too!

Saturday was cold. Like, wear-a-jacket-and-gloves-all-day kind of
cold. And it got colder in the afternoon! Our appointments canceled
for the most part, but we did get to see the L girls and finalize
everything for their baptism tomorrow with Bro. B!! It was
awesome! Those two are super cool. Then their sister will be baptized
in a few weeks once she turns eight, which is great too!

Sunday, everything worked out exactly as planned! It was freezing
outside though. Like in the 20s. Time for the coat again! But anyhoo,
C and V were both very excited! The water was a little
cold (the heater and one of the boilers went out, so the building was
pretty cold) but it went great! I haven't known them for more than a
few weeks, but it has been great seeing them progress! For example,
the night before we realized we hadn't taught them the Word of Wisdom
at all, which is usually a pretty big thing. (It talks about the whole
no coffee, tea, alcohol, etc.) Well, when we talked to them, only one
of them actually liked anything on the list, and after giving us a
pretty sad look, brightened up and said they'd drop it! Yeah, they're
the best this week. After church, we saw a couple we had met last
week. It went pretty well, and they will be reading the Book of
Mormon! Then we came over and read the Book of Mormon with the
R kids. They are still ready for this next weekend!

This week is gonna be DOPE!! Hope you have a happy and healthy (yeah
right) Thanksgiving!  Love y'all a bunch!
The L family! The older girl is C and the younger one is
V, with their mom N and two sisters Y and C.
(C has the phone. She is nuts. Also adorable.)
