Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!! I know I ate more than my fair share of food that day.
Because of the holiday this past week, we did a lot of drop in visits because no one could schedule with us. We met with one who informed us that dirt grows, and that we are all really smart mold; needless to say that was a funny visit.
J had a baptismal interview this week and pass! Sadly, her brother is sick so we have to move the baptism back two weeks. The cool thing is that she will now be baptized on the same day as the R's! The font is going to be a happening place on December 19!
The R's are going through a little bit of a rough time, but it's really cool to see how as they rely on the gospel they are able to keep chugging along and make the best of everything.
A is doing well also he texted us Saturday night making sure that we had a ride for him and really enjoys coming to church each week. Even though he is not sure about baptism he sure loves the gospel!
It's not an email from me without some fun experiences so here they go: we were volunteering at New Hope, the senior assisted living facility, and you're making ice cream sundaes for the residents. Brian, my favorite old man who is a huge flirt, told me that he "wanted everything on his ice cream cause he likes it sweet, just like me." He then proceeded to wink and kiss my hand. I sure got a kick out of that one!
One night this past week I pierces to Birch's ears! One of her earrings got yanked and slit through her ear and she never pierced them since. We tried going to the mall to get it re-pierced, but they said that she had to get surgery first to fix her ear. We decided, what the heck? Why don't I just pierce it so that's what we did! Parent Trap makes piercing an ear so much easier because, unfortunately for Sister Birch, it took about eight minutes instead of two seconds. I felt a little bad, but I could not stop laughing at the fact that I actually pierced her ears!!! That's one for the books!
Thanksgiving was a lot of fun. Our ward had a Turkey Bowl that we went and played in. It was a load of fun and I didn't stink as much as I normally do at football. I think that was a mission miracle haha. I woke up the next day with a whip lash from getting taken out, but it was totally worth it! For dinner we went to the P's. They are an amazing family with lots of kids and it was a blast! The food was wonderful, and it was nice to be around good company. After we ate we went and placed with the kids in the backyard since the weather was still nice enough to be outside. Even though we played with sticks, had limbo completions, sword fights, and played on swings, I had so much fun. Their little girl A clung onto me for most of the day, and she is probably one of the cutest girls. We ended the night with a round of SkipBo. That was something thanksgiving shouldn't go without, so I was glad to see that we were able to play it.
The new Christmas initiative for the church was released yesterday so now we are shifting to show this to as many people as possible. It's going to be fun this upcoming month caroling and spreading the good word to as many people as possible!
