Goodbye November, Hello December! (Week 11/24-11/29/15)

I'm not kidding you this week flew by! When missionaries used to say
that the day's are long but the weeks are short, they weren't lying.
The days are super long! Well this week was an awesome week! I am so
thankful for this week and for the opportunity that we had to have
Thanksgiving! Not a lot of people were in town this week, but we
tracked into quite a few people who were ready for he gospel!

Monday: we visited with Tesa, who had her baby and started to go into
labor while at church! 😱 that was CRAZY! So we went to the hospital
and visited with her! That as we some! We also took her flowers, and I
did a cute little arrangement with some flowers and gave that and a
note to her. It was so fun to see them!

Tuesday: WE HAD INTERVIEWS WITH PRESIDENT! I just love President
Wilson so much and I am so grateful for him and his obedience. He
makes being a missionary so much easier, because he just allows us to
answer our own questions. He is so awesome! Sister Wilson had surgery
on Monday, so please keep her in your prayers. So far everything is
all good! We also had a lesson with a Gypsy!  Crazy cool! She
thought that Joseph Smith came from Europe!? What? Yeah that's what we
were thinking.. Haha! Anyways Tuesday was an amazing day!

Wednesday: we were suppose to have district meeting but a
companionship wasn't able to make it due to a fever. :( so that got
cancelled. But we went and helped out at Avante again, and helped with
a Festival Fall party! It was so much fun! We made cute cornucopias!
AND THEY WERE EDIBLE! Then After that we had dinner with the McCleves
who took us out to Wendy's! Sooo good! After that we went and visited
with some members and a less active family. Later that night we had a
lesson with Whitney and Alex! We taught them the Restoration again, so
they had a stronger foundation before we got down any deeper.

Thursday!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!- man! That was a crazy day! WE ATE 2
DINNERS! I don't think I have ever felt so fat in my life! Never again
do I want to eat two Thanksgiving dinners in a row! The first dinner
was with the Logan family. And OHHH man was the food delicious! I will
never go back to a oven roasted turkey! ITS ALL ABOUT FRIED AND OR
SMOKED! AMAZING! And the ham was even soooo delicious! Overall
thanksgiving was soooo good!

Friday: we went to this super upper class neighborhood where the homes
are just BEAUTIFUL! They are sooo pretty! But Come to find out
that they are not in our area! WOOPS!! Oh well!  After that we went
and ate dinner and then went over to the Hamptons! We told her that we
would come back tomorrow (Saturday) and rake her leaves! Then we went
knocking again! I LOVE KNOCKING!

Saturday: we first had a lesson with Dianne and Chris Harris and we
shared with them the story called the "Seminary Donut"! And we got
them donuts! It is such an amazing story! It talks about the sacrifice
of our savior and how the price is already paid, but that it's up to
us if we take it or not. It makes me cry every single time! After that
we rushed over to the Hamptons to rake A TON OF LEAVES! Let's just say
we raked so any that I have a huge blister, but it's all good. After
that we helped her with a Mormon.org profile. Then we went to the
Risleys for dinner where we had more turkey dinner! :) we then went
knocking for the rest of the night.

SUNDAY:: OHHH how I seriously love Sunday's! Well we went to church
and had sacrament, then after that we went to dinner with the Wrights
where sister Johnsen and I had THE BEST SALAD EVER! It was made just
for us! It was sooo good! The. We went and tried to visit James,
sister Johnsen's recent convert who has called away, but we try
everything we can to get him back. After that we went knocking. But
during the meeting that we had with James ' brother, I had this strong
urge to leave and to get out of that home. I literally thought that my
heart was going to come out of my chest if we didn't leave!

I just wanted to leave you all with my testimony, that I know that the
Holy Ghost can prompt us to do something, but we have to be willing to
follow it and act upon it! I know that the sacrifice of our Savior has
alread been laid, but it is our chose on whether or not we want to
take it. The choice is yours. But I invite you tot rust in the Lord
that He will guide you and direct your path.
