Thanksgiving is over! And November almost is too! And even the year is almost over! What!!!

This week wasn't too bad, not too shabby at all. Things went okay this week. We kind of wish we would have found more people to teach this week, but we have December in front of us and the new Christmas initiative! So we can find a whole lot of people this next month! #lighttheworld! Check it out on Mormon.org. This year the initiative is all about service. On the website there is a calendar that has some acts of service for each day of the month. There are a lot of good ideas so get out there and serve this Christmas season! It'll be a blast. 

Anyway, I honestly can't really remember much before Thursday, probably because not too much happened, but thanksgiving was great! We got up and we were able to go to a tri-ward Turkey bowl. It was a blast! I haven't played football like that for a good little while. I forgot how much I love that game. I was happy with the fact that I wasn't too extremely out of shape either. I kept up pretty well and had some good plays. And, I didn't get hurt either. I was a little sore afterward, but it wasn't too bad. 

We then were invited to a recent convert/investigator family that the Huntersville Elders are working with. We went and had thanksgiving lunch with them and that was fun. After that we had two other dinners lined up but both of them canceled, which was probably a good thing because we were still pretty full from our lunch. 

For dinner we went to the Heilperns. They are a crazy family! They had most of their kids there for thanksgiving and it was crazy. Elder Richins and I just sat there and listened to the conversation. It was very entertaining. We went home stuffed. 

The next morning we got up and pulled out the Christmas decorations that we have in the apartment and put them up. I'm super stoked for Christmas. 

We taught the Juarez family a couple times this week. I don't know what to do with them. The two older boys that got baptized say they aren't ready to receive the Aaronic priesthood, whatever that means, the girls are just kind of brats, the younger boys want to be baptized but don't want to do anything for it, and the mom is just overwhelmed with it all. It's kind of a tough situation. 

Sunday was pretty good. We had an early appointment with a Bible referral. We got there, gave him his Bible, and a Book of Mormon and taught him the Restoration. We asked him to pray to know it's true and he blurted out, "It is true." We set up a return appointment for next Sunday so we'll see how that goes. 

We then went to Ward council. President and Sister Alexander gave a training on how the Ward council can work with the missionaries. They then gave talks in sacrament meeting. Elder Richins gave a talk too. We then had dinner with a fun family to end the week. 

This morning we went to the Huntersville apartment and played Risk with the Elders. I destroyed all three of them in less than two hours, the perfect game of Risk:  short, and I won😆. Well, anyway, that's the week! Hope y'all have a great one!
