So another week flew under my radar until one random thursday Elder Howard said, Happy Thanksgiving! I had no idea that it was thanksgiving this week, doesnt even seem like it! It is so wierd, thinking that everyone back home was eating turkey, potatoes, gravy, deviled eggs, ham, all that good stuff and I ate tuna fish snadwich with Elder Crooks! I went on a exchange on Thursday. I had absolutely no idea, I cant believe that in less than a month it will be x-mas! I dont believe it, it is soooooo HOT here! Just starting to warm up! Wow I seriously sweart buckets when we go out tracking in the mornings! Wow! So work here is progressing very well, President Dil has no asked us to do a task that going to take a lot of time, looking for less active members! There are like 600-650 people that have been baptized here in and olny about 300 come to church. So we need to go find this people and try to revive their spiritual minds! I a pretty excited cause I like teaching less actives, they are fun! We had a experience with one of our investigators this week, she read the joseph smith brochure and then had a dream, in which she read a chapter in Isiah and she said she knew that it was true! It is amazing how often these people have dreams with visons or revelations, Sunday that is what priesthood was all about, personal revelation, and it was very interesting to hear everyones story about their dreams and stuff. The work is good, is so hot, and I love it! The people are what makes the mission, I dont care where they live, how much they got, these people are happy! That is one lesson that I want to take from this, I can be dirt poor, live in a mud hut next to the lake in which my house floods every now and then, with no hope for a good job or food, but as long as I have the Truth, the real truth, the gospel and I follow it, I can be soo happy! I am really grateful for that, they are teaching me alot more than I am teaching them! Only in and through the gospel can we have true happiness and joy! Well thats all for now, have a good week and remember who you are!
love
