Hello everyone and happy Thanksgiving! This week has been pretty crazy. We had 2 different exchanges as well as zone conference so its been exhausting but rewarding!
For our Zone Conference, Elder Valenzuela from the Quorum of the 70 came and spoke to us. He had a lot of really good stuff to say and we figured out a lot of the things that we need to do to continue to see more and more miracles.
The ward also had an activity and the entire focus of the activity was to try to invite nonmembers and get them to come and meet the missionaries and the members and there was a really good turnout! Our friend Ethan even came and he met a bunch of members. He has been doing really well.
On our exchange on Saturday we had a pretty wild lesson with this guy named Andy. He brought himself to the missionaries and the first time he met, he thought he was a prophet. The next time he talked about some of his crazy revelations and his list of things that God is telling him. So we had a lesson and it was pretty fun. This guy loved to talk and tell his stories and the whole lesson was an emotional roller coaster. He would go from crying because of the spirit to talking about some random thing that happened when he was 5 and it was just all over the place. There was a member on that lesson and I found out that he is my 2nd cousin on my mom's side! So shoutout to Brother Burton.
So besides that it was a pretty standard week, but I've been trying to be more grateful. This week is Thanksgiving and so I wanted to invite you all to give a prayer this week and don't ask for anything. Just give thanks. You can give thanks for the people I your life, or the experiences you've had or whatever you want. But I know that God will bless you with gratitude the more you show it. Have a great week everyone!
