Early Turkey-Day!

This Saturday my companion and I got invited to an early Thanksgiving! One of the other sister missionaries is going home next week, and since she is from Australia where they don't have Thanksgiving, one of the families in the area decided to have it early this year just for her! (I guess you could say we benefited from her non-American-ness.) Thanksgiving has grown on me over the years. I think I like it almost as much as Christmas. A holiday completely centered around eating and being grateful for all that we have :)

It was another fast week, even though not that much happened. Our two investigators who are getting baptized are progressing steadily, but we haven't had progress with anyone else. But that's okay. People have their agency, and our responsibility is just to invite them to Christ and to participate in the Gospel. If they decide not to accept this message, that is between them and Heavenly Father.

It is getting very windy here. Last night I had a hard time falling asleep because the wind was howling so loudly. And yesterday we had a crazy thunderstorm! It wasn't very long, but as we were leaving a members home and running to our car it was hailing! There was enough hail that the ground almost looked like it was covered in snow!

Here is a picture of my district. This is our last week together before transfers, when three of them will be going home and more of them may be transferred to a different area. They are great! I'm grateful to have served with them for my first transfer.

Love you all!
