The Thanksgiving Exodus


So this week was super fun and we had a lot of cool miracles. Because
of thanksgiving every single person that lives in Manhattan decided to
pack their bags and hit the road. It was kinda weird how quiet and
silent it was in this town. Everyday pretty much felt like a Sunday
afternoon in Provo. It was strange. However despite not having anyone
in town we were able to see some super awesome miracles!

We got this call from a doctor in Utah that hosted a couple from China
and they had taken them to the temple a few times. So we stopped by
and gave them a temple magazine and a Book of Mormon and set up a
church tour. They came to the church tour and we showed them around.
They thought it was all pretty cool but they didn't believe in God so
it was hard. Then we got to the baptismal font and we had invited them
to baptism and they weren't super enthusiastic about it. But then we
remembered they really loved the temples so we talked about how
baptism is the first step into the temple. And then we talked about
eternal marriage and they completely changed. They said that they
really loved the idea of eternal marriage and how there is life after
death. I'm so grateful to know that there is such thing as eternal
marriage and how blessed I am to have that knowledge!

Thanksgiving was awesome! We started by having our elders quorum
president come to the church and bring us and the sisters hot
chocolate and donuts and he brought his kid that is a non member and
we talked about baptism and he loves the gospel! So we are going to
try and get him baptized on Christmas Eve! #NocheBlanca. Then we went
to our second councilors house and had some awesome food! Best turkey
gravy I've ever had! So good!

Love you all! Hope you had the best thanksgiving ever!

Some wierd weather is Upon us in Manhattan! It's raining, but it's like 32 degrees so it gets frozen, so it's not snow on the trees it's ice.




Elder jones went home yesterday. Love that guy! Changed my life.




Our thanksgiving food. Super good.




Our district thanksgiving picture, the middle elders were late so they weren't in the food picture. Shame on them
