Thanksgiving

Well I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving week! I know I did. This was the first week in close to a year that my area hit the standard of excellence! It was super awesome to see all the progress we've made. We have our Recent Convert from a few weeks ago as well as 3 investigators and several less actives, all of whom are doing super. Love this area.

 We got to do a bunch of painting this week so we had a lot of fun with that. I actually unknowingly had frosted tips all day. oops.  Thanksgiving was pretty great though. We had the car this week so we were able to drive to several Dinners. We were actually only able to make it to 4 dinners but had more options than that. I gained about 10 pounds. And we got sent home with a bunch of turkey and a few pies. And the family asked if we had any home favorites so they made fresh cranberry sauce which was super good. We also got food from a guy that runs a food bank thing so we have soooo much food in our apartment its not even funny.

We had a couple lessons with our Hmong Investigator so at one of those she helped us with our Hmong. We can do introductions now and pray pretty well. Working on bearing my testimony next. Weve had a couple more good Hmong dinners and i really enjoy learning more about their culture.

We got transfer calls on Saturday. That was sad.  Bunch of our zone is leaving and we had all gotten pretty close. My trainer Elder Linam is also leaving so i am going to be split trained (have two trainers in his first area). Hopefully that goes well.

Well I guess thats 1 transfer down 16 to go! wow

With love
