HAPPY REALLY LATE THANKSGIVING AND ya.

So for this email the week was pretty standard in terms of the work. Lots of visiting lots of knocking, with some walking thrown in. The highlight was definately Thanksgiving and the majority of the letter this week will be about that.

But before that lets talk about some of the other fun stuff. So we live about 30 minutes or so away from a town called monticello. We have several members there and a few of our investigators. It is difficult for us to make it out there because of our milage limit but this last week we have been able to make it out several times. All good stuff.

We have also been busy with the less actives as usual. But they are being as cooperative as mules. Frustrating but we are still working on them. As a side note please keep Sister Figueroa in your prayers she has been having a lot of family issues so keep her in mind.

This week we also had to prepare three talks because this tuesday we will be having Elder Nash of the Seventy come and visit us this week.

With him coming we are going down today to lafayette to sleep over there that way we can leave early in the morning and it will be easier on our miles. We are also celebrating elder Scribners birthday today which will be fun.

So now onto thursday the big day. Fear not about our dinner because we actually had two thanksgiving dinners. First dinner was with the Tinchers who are the best. We ate with a small portion of their family with the whole traditional meal turkey, yams, potatoes, cornbread, pumkin pie, rolls, a lot more pies and you get the idea. Brother Tincher is very funny because he looks like and acts alot like brother wiley and its pretty funny. He calls me the communist. And sister tincher is like another grandma she is so funny and lovely. The food was excellent and we had a lot of fun.

The next dinner we had was with the Ortiz. They are a less active family and we ate turkey, rice, pork shoulder, and the various other traditional thanksgiving food. We also watched joseph smith prophet of the restoration. Then after we finished eating we helped brother ortiz dump some garbage out into a dump which helped a lot to because we were stuffed and going to fall asleep. After that we left and went to visit sister dool and spent the night watching mormon messages and videos. It was fun. We were told that Thurdsday was going to be another p-day for us and we were told not to track which make sense because no one would really be in the mood to talk.

But that is the week and what has been going on. A very good thanksgiving plenty of food and alot of leftovers.

I hope it was good and great for the rest of you. Plenty of food and rolls. WE ARE GOING INTO THE CHRISTMAS SEASON!!!! YAY!!!!
