Transfers!!!

Hola everybody!

This week was so good! People were home because Thanksgiving break so we taught so many lessons! A total of 31 and we normal teach 15-20! So it was super fun because teaching is the best part of being a missionary and we got to finally see so many amazing people that we've been trying by for weeks.

Thanksgiving with Hermana Chavez <3

Thanksgiving was a wild success! We had a lunch and then a dinner so we planned perfectly and didn't gain 537 1/2 pounds. And the food was delicious. Mexican style stuffing is really good. And we got to go around during the day and visit some of the little old ladies here and bring them some holiday cheer. 

Holidays as a missionary are super weird because we're still working and it doesn't really fully feel like a holiday, but also they're the best because you just get to serve people all day, all the time!

Oh, and transfer news!.................

Hermana Moss (my MTC companion) is leaving at the mid transfer in two weeks (which is weird, that's when I would have been leaving too...) so we've been partying extra hard before she goes!

I'm still here! Hermana Smurthwaite and I are staying in Ascarate so unless they change something in the mid transfers we have coming up in two weeks (so that all the missionaries going home will be home for Christmas) I'll be here until January! I feel like I've been in this area like my whole entire life, but this ward is absolutely incredible and so supportive of us missionaries so there's no better place to spend like half of my mission in! We have lots of exciting things coming up here in the month of December so I'm so excited to see how this transfer goes!

Zone Conference last week!

Also it got really cold all of a sudden. It's supposedly maybe going to snow tomorrow! Wish us luck, hopefully I'll survive with my California blood!

Love you all, have a great week!

PS

Watch the Christmas video this year from the church, it's SOOO GOOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!

It's all about service and things we can do each day to be more like Christ and serve those around us! You can find it on  www.mormon.org
