Being grateful to be a missionary

Pre-Thanksgiving in Texas

My week was great. The Evans family invited us over to dinner for Thanksgiving day and there is going to be a lot of food and dessert. There is a couple about in there 70's that we tracted into really nice old couple. They invited us over for lunch for thanksgiving they are really nice people and they love us to come over. they don't go to any church right know but they have asked a few questions about us and our religion. On Thanksgiving day we get to have all day P-day. Because they do not want us to go tracting or anything like that but spend time with members or stay in our apartments. Oh yeah yesterday the Elder's quorom had a turkey fry and it was so good. I love fried turkey. This past week we have been trying to contact all the less acttives and former investigators. we did some service for a member helping him to get all the nails of the wood that he had.

Transfers soon

My companion goes home in two weeks, he is having a pretty hard time but he will make it through. Yeah transfers are on December 5. you can probably send it after transfers if i do get transfered or you can send it to the mission office and they can forward it to me. Oh yeah since my companion is leaving and I am probably going to train a new missionary I will need a GPS and it is so helpful, should I get it or what, I most likely will need it sometime during my mission. we don't have that much investigators so we are trying to find some more investigators to teach.

Investigators and new ones to come

Shannon Lewis said that the Bilble is all that she needs right know and Bruce our other investigator has been stressed because he is trying to find a job and he applied for some jobs and is just waiting for the call and so he has not had the time to read the Book of Mormon. We are working with them and trying to tell them how the Book of Mormon will bless there lives. On saturday our bishop dropped us off at an appointment with and former investigator. while we were walking to her house a black guy stopped us and said you saw all of these cars and did not stop by my shop and teach the word. we said we will be back after we go see this former investigator that we had an appointment with. the former investigator was not there so we went over to his barber shop and talked about the Book of Mormon and pretty much taught the first lesson. they were asking questions and seemed pretty interested. the only thing that they say they don't understand is why couldn't blacks have the priesthood back then?
