Semana Cuarenta y Ocho (Stolen Cars, Fireside Mayhem, and Thanksgiving Feasts..... Or simply another week in Texas!)

Hello my peoples!

First off just some updates, we recieved our transfer emails last night AND........ I'm staying as a Zone Leader in Allen!! In fact I'm staying with my companion, Elder Richards, and everything, so that's good. Not too much of a surprise, but hey, you never know with transfers!

Thanksgiving was good this week! Besides feeling under the weather, we had a couple dinner appointments, so saying we were full would be an understatment........ Plus it was my first time having steak for Thanksgiving! I guess there's a first time for everything haha It

Now that Thanksgiving is over, we're in full Christmas swing here in Texas! (And that's one thing I'll give Texans credit for, they do enjoy their Christmas season!) (Even if there's no snow.......)

It's crazy to think that I hit 11 months on Wednesday....... I had a weird moment the other night. I was sitting at a missionary/investigator fireside and I was looking around at all these new missionaries, and it dawned on me that almost half of the missionaries I've known in the mission are now home....... If that's not whack I don't know what is.

Speaking of the fireside here's a funny story for ya'll! We're teaching this girl named Kat in the YSA that we hope to see baptized in December, and we invited her to attend this fireside with us. Unfortunately we forgot that not everyone outside of the church knows what a fireside is......... She may or may not have showed up 
expecting an actual BONEFIRE! Whoops........ We were dying!  

Also in other news......... Our car got stolen! Well perhaps a little explanation........ Since our car got sent to another area, we've been on bike waiting for another car from the mission office. Well it turns out that the mission had the car and was about to install the church's tracking system for us, but before that could happen the car was STOLEN! I'm serious........ stolen straight out of the parking lot in down town Dallas. What does this mean for us? Our biking situation is probably a little more permanent.    

So ya....... Just wanted to close with my testimony. Christ was born, lived, and died, and I know that he now lives. Without that knowledge we would have no hope. Christ is hope. In the grand scheme of things he asks so little from us. Have faith in him, repent, be baptized, recieve the Holy Ghost, and endure to the end. THAT'S IT! How selfish of us to withhold our knowledge of the gospel from those around us. I would hope and each of us is praying daily for opportunities to share the gospel. This church is true. You got a problem with that. Read. Pray. Repeat. You will recieve an answer. I promise.
