Week 56: No Fear

So the Lord's blessings are real. Just so y'all know.

The highlight of this week was finding three new investigators.  One is named Victor, who we teach in English and is just super ready to change his life and super open, it's so awesome.  The other two are a couple from Brazil that we taught for the first time last night, they are really cool too.  It's crazy, I helped teach and participated in a large part of the small talk of the lesson too, despite that it was in Portuguese. I should have been frightened, as I didn't even get a MTC to learn how to teach in Portuguese!  I only know a few words and yet I was right in the thick of it, the Gift of Tongues is real.

Beyond that we did a lot of contacting in Orem for Portuguese people, had some brigadeiro in a dinner which was freaking awesome, did some service for the lovely Minond family that owns the Chilean Pantrucas restaurant, and in general had a great time.  Elder Harris is hilarious and we are almost literally laughing all the time; we have a list of funny things he's said already going. 

Yes, this week's been great! I'm super excited for Thanksgiving too. Thank you so much for the Thanksgiving package haha, Elder Harris was laughing so hard that I got the Thanksgiving decorations and stuff, I had just been ranting to him about how much I hate when people celebrate Christmas way too early and run over Thanksgiving, we were laughing so hard! Plus the Thanksgiving music CD you sent is awesome, and Elder Harris is grateful that he doesn't have to listen to the same MoTab "Great Thanksgiving" album over and over again anymore (Pilgrim dirges and whatnot haha).

 We're going for Thanksgiving dinner at our Ward Mission Leader's house, the Mathews. They are super cool, plus we're gonna have a bunch of former Provo Missionaries there, like Elder Contreras who I served with in Goshen with Elder Rios! I'm super excited, plus turkey bowl will be super fun, it should help me get super hungry, since the more I eat the more grateful I am, right haha? Happy Thanksgiving for now though y'all!
