THIS WEEKS EMAILS

MIGADA...HE SAYS ITS YUMMY

Hey all!

Well another super fast week flying by, considering thanksgiving is in three days.. nuts. This week we were all over the place, it felt like sometimes we really just didn't have enough time to get everywhere we wanted to. My feet were worn out and so are my shoes, but they're going on strong hah. But that's just the best part of being a missionary isn't it. Going to bed a thinking theres noway I'm gonna be able to get up at 630 tomorrow I'm so tired, and then you just do. Because that's what you do, things that you always thought you couldn't. We are teaching a fair amount of people, all who have something impeding them from being baptized. We are trying to find the best way to help each of them out, not the best teacher but the Spirit is. We did find another family on Saturday that has had recent problems and feels like God is calling them, and that they feel like they are missing him in their lives. We invited them to pray about the message we shared, and we are looking forward to visiting them this week. We´ve got planned to go to the Temple on Saturday! this hopefully Will go through, so if i do, well SAT will be my PDAY, so if you are going to write me, try and drop it before Saturday afternoon please, but we´ll have to see, considering we might not be able to get a spot on the bus. Well i hope everybody has a great week and that everyone can remember their missionaries as they eat turkey, stuffing, home made rolls. Remember that we should be grateful on thanksgiving, and to remember the greatest gift of all, the atonement. I love you all, and am so truly grateful for the opportunity to serve the Lord on a mission, for my family and friends that support me, and the pure fact that i come from an eternally sealed family. This blessing has hit me so hard and true on the mission, and i will forever be grateful for that. i love you all,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

QUE TAL!!!

ISNT MY BRO THE BEST MISSIONARY AND SWEETEST BROTHER IN THE WORLD ;)It is transfer week and guess what...I am heading north again...pretty much the farthest you can get north in the mission. AND... I am getting another AMERICAN. She is brand new (one transfer) she had my “mom” of the mission last transfer but she left to go home so now I get to be with her. Hna Burns (my “mom”) and I got to talk for a few minutes the other night and she was like I really hope you are with my comp now you guys would get along great! I hope she is right ;) I am excited for change, I like change.Of course I am sad to leave but I am excited to get out to a new area. Sometimes the work is harder when you have been in an area for a long time because you become friends with people that don't progress, but you want to go by and visit them and teach them because they always leave an ounce of hope. That has happened with us and the Family Guido. They have found that they really like a lot of what our church does but they don't want to change. The more we teach, the more they like but they are stubborn. But there hearts have been opened to us and they have more of a desire to learn about our religion (they said they have NEVER let missionaries of any kind in their house before). I am sad to leave them but I know that the seed has been planted and it will continue to touch their hearts. This transfer was a toughy, full of ups and downs, mostly in my crazy little mind, but I found a lot of solace in this scripture this Sunday when the transfer was coming to an end:“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: FOR WHEN I AM WEAK, THEN AM I STRONG.”I found a lot of weaknesses this transfer but I have found that through these weakness I can be made strong. We just have to seek the help of our Savior. It is through Him we are made strong. I am grateful for these growing moments, for EVERY moment I have here in the mission.Know that I love you all, even those who don't write (don't worry Paige I will still talk to you when I get back ;) I have never ever been more happy in my life. I know that this is the work of our Lord.

KEEP THE FAITH
