Thanksgiving

Hey family!

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope that all of you have a wonderful time. I am not sure what I will be doing but I might have lunch with President or something. It just so happens that my companions birthday is also this week so I am sure that we will do something special. Lindsay, you should go build a snowman. Just sayin. jaja

This week was great! We have been traveling around doing interviews with President and his wife and we have been training on how to focus teaching towards commitment. My testimony on the importance of personal commitment has grown so much as I have been "committed" to applying all of the principles that we are teaching the missionaries into my own teaching. From studying Preach My Gospel we learn that Conversión is commitment and that and that our level of commitment to the gospel reflects our level of conversion. It has also been great creating better bonds of friendship with all of the missionaries. Are mission is extremely united and everyone is working really hard. 

Well Alan the son of Chundo and Bernardita is getting baptized next week and we are all stoked for it. They are so great. we actually missed an appointment with them this week becuase we were traveling and they told us that they had held there own scripture study by themselves. Bernardita studies everyday without fail and Chundo is stopping smoking. We also found an amazing new investigator named Teresa but she doesn´t live in our Sector so we passed her to the other office Elders. 

Today we went to the zoo. I sent Dad a pretty cool picture so you should all go and see it. The zoo was very interesting because there were no guard rails so you could go and touch the animals if you wanted to. It was one big petting zoo...except it wasn´t that big and you could pet lions and tigers and bears oh my I actually did pet a lion two tigers and a giant bear it was sick. Tell about what is going on? How is life for everyone? I love all of you have a great week!
