#sharethegift

1. He is the gift! you all should know about it if not look it up! #sharethegift! http://www.mormon.org/christmas 
its is super good and super powerful and helps us all remember what the real reason for Christmas is!

2. Turkey bowl! nothing like some good football to start off your Thanksgiving day! It was super good had a few touchdowns! Just wished it was rugby instead! 

3. Thanksgiving dinner number 1!! w]We had dinner at the Atwoods It was crazy! 3 types of turkey, smoked, deep fried and then just baked! Everything was super good! I love food! haha but that was way good but we headed straight to dinner number 2

4. Dinner 2 at the Amares. There were only 6 of us and they had a full turkey and a full ham.... so lots of food! Brother Amare made the turkey and was very adamant about the herbs he put on the turkey. I think he just likes the word herbs cause he said it 100 times! It drove sister Amare crazy but it was a little funny! After dinner we gave  one of their kids a blessing and then sister Amare talked about what she was grateful for and she talked about her conversion and her opportunity to be sealed to her family

5. Sister Amare's condensed conversion story- She was like the meanest investigator ever, if you were 1 minute late she would lock the door and not let you come. She was super cynical about her approach and was trying to disprove it, however something kept drawing her back to it! So she kept going back. finally after some concerns were discovered blessings given she opened up and was just on fire after that. Her husband not so much, he threatened to divorce her if she got baptized! But faith won! A few weeks later he was baptized also and then a lttle down the road they were sealed! Happy day!!! 

6. Bishop Nimmer game the lesson this week. He talked about the 80/20 diet and how some people think you can eat good 80% of the time and eat bad the other 20% of the time. he related it to the gospel and asked us all to think about if we are 80/20 members of the church. Do we do good 80% of the time and sin only 20%. It's a good average but is it what the lord expects of us? 

7. Bishop Nimmer baptized his daughter after church! It was super good and super powerful! the spirit was there. I love attending baptisms! 

8. After church we also had a linger longer! I love food, like stated earlier! But boy they had some banana pudding... yeah it was awesome! There was a tub full and was gone when I went back for seconds..:( 

9.  We found two new investigators this week which was super good! Don Abbit and Issac Huston so hopefully they progress! They both have super good potential but i guess we will see right! But we biked like 100 miles this week! Which wasn't bad when I was back in pace but we haven't biked at all here so i almost died! 

10. Last is Chris Avera! haha he is a less active and he's a little crazy. He thinks he's a ninia and also that he will be in the zombie apocalypse! Yeah he's a little out there but it makes visits fun right! what's life with out a little crazy?

love you all
