Things that will make or break us are the things that we remember most - Dec 2

So this week was a hard one, with everyone leaving early for Thanksgiving we had to figure out other things to do, and we did. Here they get an entire week of for Thanksgiving, and so a lot of people leave early in the week. Thankfully we had our appointment for dinner on Thanksgiving, I am not sure how one of the elders didn't go into a food coma but when into an work out frenzy.

We did do quite a bit of service. The days leading up to Thanksgiving didn't feel like Thanksgiving possibly be because I wasn't home away from school, but the day after felt like the day after Thanksgiving because we helped a member who has cancer put up her Christmas tree and decorate a bit, which is what I would of been doing if I was home. Anyways it has been really cool as we have got to get to know the members and show them that we care about them and that we need their help. One of the ward missionaries said something that made me think. She said that part of the reason that she lets us come over as often as we can is so that her son will have the desire to go on a mission and that while he is serving she knows that he will be taken care of because she is taking care of someones sons and/or daughters. That made me realize that not only the success I have out here come from the members help and what I do but it also matters what is being done at home because those are blessings that go both ways.

Anyways here some of the pictures I have taken in the last two weeks or so.

The first is two of the elders in my district Elder White and Elder Madsen. I went to high school with Elder Madsen and graduated with his older brother, oh and they are in Brad and Jeff's home ward. Elder White is from southern Arizona. They are both awesome elders to work with . Elder White is in Covington and Elder Madsen is in Mandeville.

The second is the fuzzy socks that I bought because of how cold my feet were getting at night and in the morning.

Third is a birthday card that we did for Elder White and Elder Ciana (our new distirct leader) They loved it...and yes there are Twilight stickers around Elder White's name. He is one of the few guys I've met who liked them, and Elder Ciana got super heroes ( he likes the Hulk)

 the Fourth is them with the card.

Fifth is what the stairs looked like while we were cleaning our living room and rearranging it.
and last is the Christmas tree all decorated.(I've changed a few things on it since I took this picture.)

Well I love y'all lots and lots have a good week
