Making a Native American flute
The next few days we have been working with part member families and trying to see if the spouse or family is interested in taking the discussions. It has actually been really successful. We picked up two new investigators from it. One of the investigators is the boyfriend of my first baptism here on the mission. His name is Kaleb. It was so much fun teaching him because his answer to almost everything was, "Wow, this all makes so much sense." It is so awesome! The next one is named Jayme and she is the fiance of a recent convert who is looking to have Jesus Christ in their relationship and he said that there is no other church that he will attend because he has been involved with the spirit too strong and he WILL NOT go anywhere else. Go Clifton!!
Thanksgiving with Elder Munns
Our Thanksgiving was super awesome! We started the day off with having pancakes at a members house and then going to play some football with the ward. It is was cool because there is a member here who grew up in Pocatello so it is way fun to talk to him. At noon we went to the Drury's home to help them cook Thanksgiving dinner. This family feeds us every Thursday and they pride themselves on their cooking so the food was incredible even though I helped make some of it.
Dinner with the Drury family
One of our investigator's name is Rady. She is from Bolivia and she has been coming to church and taking missionary lessons for the past year and a half! The only thing holding her back is her husband who is Lutheran. She is the sweetest lady ever. We also have been doing work with two part member families. We picked up 2 more investigators from them. Jasmine, my first baptism of my mission has now introduced her boyfriend to the church and we taught the first lesson to him and he loved it. The common answer for him was, "This just makes sense to me." You can't imagine how pumped I was for that! We have been working with a guy named Joe and he loves the church and he wants to become a member so bad but he is getting held up by drugs. I never thought that I would care about someone so much who was hooked on drugs. The amount of love that I actually have in me surprised me. It is so awesome. I love it out here in Oklahoma.
The only thing that I can think of for a Christmas present is a guitar. I really don't know why but I have been wanting to learn how to play one really really bad. I was thinking maybe I should just wait until after the mission too. There really isn't anything that I need out here. I have been taken care of pretty well. (It is amazing to me to see the change in our missionary in just 4 short months!)
Sincerely giving thanks not only helps us recognize our blessings, but it also unlocks the doors of heaven and helps us feel God's love.
