Week 93... TRANSFERS!!!

Hi Everyone!!

This week wasn't the best as far as missionary work is concerned. There was just a lot of other stuff going on that we had to take care of. I still don't understand how sometimes a whole week just doesn't work out. But hey, that's the way it goes I guess.

We were able to get back in with Ignacio and Trinidad, so that was good! But they have a cousin in town from Mexico. The cousin said she wanted to talk and to learn more, but really she just wanted to bash with us which really was annoying cuz she really had no idea what she was talking about, just throwing around a bunch of nonsense, so that lesson wasn't the best, but afterwards, when we had to go, the members that are helping us fellowship stayed behind to talk to them and be their friend. Afterwards they told us that Trinidad would like to learn more again. So that's good. I think it was in part because after listening to her cousin, our church really just makes sense. We had another lesson with Ignacio after that, but he told his wife to take the cousin out. Then they were both at church, and at a thanksgiving dinner we had on Saturday. So, it was good! It really is cool to see how much of the ward is coming together to help them out and to be baptized. I really do encourage all of you to do what you can to help out the missionaries. Members really are the only way to do missionary work.

I am pretty sure I told you guys about Jessica last week? Unfortunately, she fell off the map. We still have lots of hope that she will come around because she really did show a lot of sincere interest. We will keep trying to find her for sure. Hopefully we can find her. we made a pretty big mission mistake... forgot to get her number.

This scripture is pretty cool. It's in Psalms 100:4-5 "Enter into his gates with Thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations." I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving. Yesterday a talk was given in church, and the speaker said right now all the meanings of the holiday's are falling off to "turkey day" or "bunny day" and he fears that soon Christmas will be "tree day" or something like that. I am going to encourage you what he said to us, as the holiday's are here, remember why the holiday's really exist. It's not just "turkey day" on Thursday, but it is Thanksgiving so give thanks for what you have. Really, do that always, but I guess especially on Thursday :). I challenge you all to from now and Thursday, to offer one prayer a day of thanks giving.

I hope you all have a good week, and a happy Thanksgiving!

Love you lots!
