Happy Thanksgiving!
It was a fantastic week. Thanksgiving was great, the turkey bowl was super fun and the dinners were quite filling and fun-filled. We picked up a new investigator, and the ones we already have are doing super well. Elder Harris is speedily becoming one of my favorite companions, from hilarious happenings (including a very opinionated lady from Spain) to deep talks on everything from philosophy to people problems, and notably a talk on the history of Languages. I will be with Elder Harris until the December 18th when he finishes his mission, so I will not be with him on Christmas.
I saw my old companion, Elder Contreras again, he came down to visit for Thanksgiving!
He was one of my first companions in Goshen with Elder Rios, and he's doing well at BYU Idaho.
Guess what my ward mission leader's son's name is?
Leandro and Sara, two of our new Brazilian investigators, are progressing amazingly, and are super fun to be around. We had dinner with them after our last lesson, and I taught them to say "y'all" and "howdy", as the denounced tootsie rolls were tasting terrible.
We had a really spiritual lesson with an investigator named Alex that should be baptized this month. He has been facing some real trials, and we gave him a blessing that was quite powerful. I also got to trek down to Goshen for the Baptism of Milena where I was asked to be a witness. It was quite fun to see everyone again.
This coming week is gonna be super busy, we're going hammer the area with the new Christmas video/cards the Church has come out with, and we're gonna carol too. Super exciting!
