Well, the big thing this week of course was Thanksgiving, so I'll talk about that. For Thanksgiving we had a dinner
set up with a family at 2. But, like the day before, our Mission President
told us that there is a meeting that we had to go to, on Thanksgiving
at the same time. So we had to cancel our dinner with the family. We
ended up going to the Mission President's home for Thanksgiving. Basically,
if you didn't have a Thanksgiving dinner, you went to the mission home
for it. We got there and there are a few other missionaries and a whole
ton of food. The missionaries from my last ward were actually there too
so we talked as if it was like a reunion while some of the other
missionaries sat there, haha, but it's all good. We all still had a good
time. My last companion and President Tew got into a joke battle,
basically, at one point. To me President Tew won, haha. I had heard all
of Elder Anderson's jokes so they weren't even funny to me, haha, but
President did have some good ones. So that was pretty funny. At the end
of the dinner, President Tew looks at the remaining food and just said " Well, we made more food than you could eat, I guess that means we win "
with a smug look and a chuckle at the end. So we as missionaries got
back up and tried to eat more. But alas, we were beaten and full, haha ,so
yes he won.
Other than that, the week was pretty
normal except when we went to this one less actives house. They had some
candy on the table so me and my companion asked if we could have a
piece. She was like sure, you know you can just have it all. Then she
pulled out like 5 huge bags of candy. Now we have a giant bowl of
candy sitting in our apartment and it will probably still have candy in
it till like, the end of January or beyond, who knows.
We are still working hard on the work. We had dinner with a guy in
our ward who went to north Carolina on his mission and actually had Elder Holland come to his mission and throw down some hard core Spirit on
them. Ha, it was cool.
Things are good here, and I'm really grateful for the Thanksgiving packages. Thanks.
May the Bpirit be with you... always.
Love, Elder Richards
