Week 26 - Happy Thanksgiving

Hello everyone!

So this was probably the longest and slowest weeks of my entire mission...

So this week was thanksgiving break which means all the college students left for home. Campus was a ghost town. We knocked pretty much our whole area and... No one was home, yay! Most of the students here left Sunday and skipped classes on Monday and Tuesday. All of our investigators left last Sunday and have been gone the entire week which really stunk!

I made this sign for Sister Schultz 3 month anniversary

So in order to stay productive this week we did a TON of service!

Which Actually was so much fun!

- So we raked the cemetery leaves for 4 hours one day

Our group that raked leaves

- we helped this old lady out by cleaning her whole house

- we passed out hot chocolate at the zoo for a few hours

Passing out hot chocolate at the Zoo for four hours

- we helped out at the family place by making thanksgiving cards for all of the donors

 - we helped move in this one college student into a different apartment complex.

Yep we did a lot but is was so great!

There is a new Christmas video called Light the World (it's on Mormon.org). It is so good!! Like, I felt the spirt so strongly as I watched it...it gave me goosebumps! The video is all about being Christ like in today's world. Although Christ is not physically on the earth now, we can be like Christ and follow his example and do service for others.

Thanksgiving Day

We went to Bishop Stones for thanksgiving dinner. They are the nicest family ever! We were the Judges for the desserts. There were 13 desserts and we had to eat each one in order to judge correctly! I was so full by the end, but It was a lot of fun:)

So this week wasn't that eventful, but I am so grateful to be a missionary even in the hard and slow weeks like we had. I'm grateful for this wonderful gospel that we have and for my loving savior Jesus Christ! I love you all and hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving!
