Thanksgiving Week

This week was one that was defiantly out of the ordinary. It started with all the snow which, by the way, is all gone now. Phew! Thank goodness. Then it escalated it school being cancelled, us getting permission to leave the mission boundaries for thanksgiving dinner, and ending the week with a new investigator who was a self referral. YAY!

Thanksgiving was really tasty. We went to our bishops house in Redmond which is right outside our mission and in the hands of the Everett Mission. Sister Jenkins made this amazing stuffing. Mmmm... she gave us two gallon bags to take home and they are already gone. It was that good. So I've basically eaten left overs since Thursday evening. As far as missionary work it was pretty slow this week due to school canceled and being in a singles ward over Thanksgiving. This new week of school will be a blast though for a couple reasons. 1) We had a self referral come to Church this Sunday. Her name is Brittney and we have a lesson with her this evening at 6:00 @ the institute and then at 7:00 for FHE we are making blankets with the ward to give to the children's hospital. I don't have the entire story on Brittney yet but we shall find out tonight!

The only negative thing that happened this week was pushing back Henry's baptismal date due to weather and family circumstances. He is a really sincere guy. He just graduated in architecture and is currently searching for a job. He is only 22 years old. WOW! In Utah, no one graduates till they are older because half the state leaves on LDS missions.

I'm excited to see what the University 2nd ward does this next week. Thanks for the support from home.

Enjoy the holidays. :)
