This week was hard!

I am glad to hear that thanksgiving went great. Sounds like you all had a blast and did a lot of fun things. Seattle actually sounds fun this time haha. Maybe you should plan for it again next year, when i get home haha. Wheres all the pictures?

Well this week here was hard, we ended up cutting our last investigators, so we are down to the floor working on scratch now. We havent found really anybody good yet and the weather was in the 100s all week. We were out in the street all day every day and i felt like i was burning in the sun. its dry here like utah, so when its hot the sun just goes straight at you and it feels like we were in the oven. We did have a weird experience the other day, we contacted a lady in front of her house, she was a reference from a member, she was giving us a few excuses on why not to let us in, my companion was making the contact, i got tired of just standing there and started to talk about family and how Jesus has been helping her family that were members, and then i offered a prayer, during the prayer she started to cry and then after, she accepted very quickly that we return to share a message with her.

Anyways not mcuh more i going on, we might finally move our apartment i think tuesday or wednesday. Anyway,I love and miss you,
