more than just OK: December 1st, 2014

How was your Thanksgiving week? Was it full of gratitude? did you see miracles happen? How was dinner at Chuck a rama? you can still leave there super full right? did they have foods that were more Oklahoma that you don't see much of in Utah? My thanksgiving was really good, but it didn’t feel like thanksgiving. It just felt like another day to me. :{ kinda sad. But we did go over to a members house, (the Hancock’s) and then Fashionette and her family showed up there, and the Hancocks took them in, fed them thanksgiving dinner and we played games. It was AWESOME!! The thanksgiving food was the same here as it was in Utah, oh and I ate stuffing AND caramel yams :} oh ya, branching out haha. We didn’t actually end up going to Golden Coral. Instead we went to Bro Davis’s (the member feeding us) ex-wife’s house for thanksgiving dinner haha…. We were the only white people and there were about 30 people there haha.

when does the caroling begin? will you do it in each area more than once? The caroling begins toni’ight! (like Shawn Spencer would say it haha) at least that’s the plan :} we will see if the elders are really gonna do it with us haha

when will you & Bueno do your musical # in church and what will you sing? a hymn, a Christmas song? and in both of your wards? I hope not for both wards, but I haven’t really given it any thought hahah so I don’t really know what song.

did you tract/appointments on black Friday? We actually just went and visited more members and less-actives, then had an appointment with Kyla :}

how was church yesterday? did Kyla, robert or fashionette & faith come? or were they all still traveling? Non of them came to church yesterday :{ sad I know. But we visited all of them and taught Fashionette and her husband the Restoration and they both LOVED it. They want to be baptized but want to wait and pray about a date, so as of right now they don’t have baptismal dates, but they want to go to the temple!! Yippee!! Oh and Kyla and Robert didn’t come cuz Robert’s sister was in town for thanksgiving and she wasn’t watching her kids and her youngest child got a hold of a knife. Kyla went over to take the Knife away and stepped on another knife a child threw to the floor and sliced her foot open, then went to the ER and missed church…. So so sad :{

what is your favorite thing about your area? Our investigators, less-actives, and members. They are all so awesome! And most of them treat us like we are part of their family, which is good cuz we love being loved.

What do you admire most about sis Duersch? do you know all about each other now? Yup haha even the stuff no one wants to know haha :} I love her personality. She is crazy and spastic but entertaining and fun :}

Is this the first Christmas in the mission field for both of you? Why yes, yes it is.

What did you learn about yourself this week? That I need to have more patience with the people around me, mostly those I teach haha

What did you learn about the gospel? Well I actually gave a talk in Sacrament meeting yesterday on Relying on the Holy Ghost and that was amazing to learn more about. I mean, I know about the Holy Ghost, but it was amazing all the insight I got. :}

have you guys seen the new "He is the Gift" video? if not go watch it! it is amazing!
