I’m really excited for
Thanksgiving! We got invited to a few people’s homes. We are playing football
with the stake in the morning and then there are a couple people who are having
late Thanksgiving meals on like Saturday that invited us. We even had a Thanksgiving
meal last night! ahhh it’s so good!
I can’t believe it’s
already week 5 of the transfer! It’s going way fast. Today we are going up with
some other missionaries to Lake Arrowhead to go visit around the village and
look at all the shops and just have a relaxing pday. It’s been kind of funny
because Elder H and I have been trying to work on our Spanish. I can now pray
in Spanish. Not well. But it’s getting there! haha I’m going to keep
practicing. It will be useful if I can learn Spanish.
There’s another Kevin
Graf??? woah!
Well this week was
pretty good! We had a couple really awesome experiences. One was when I was
tracting with Elder N. We go up to our first door and Elder N knocks. Nothing. He
knocks again. Nothing. He knocks one last time and waits and then goes to put a
card on the door and all of a sudden somebody knocks from the other side. It
took us by surprise but I thought it was funny so I knocked back in a little
beat. Then he knocked again. After that we just waited for a minute and a
younger guy opened the door and was like "hey you didn’t finish the
beat." We all laughed and then started to share a little about our
message. He told us he is a big believer in Jesus and asked if we had any
reading material so without hesitation Elder N asked him if he had heard of the
Book of Mormon. We then explained what it was and asked him to read Moroni’s
promise and then got his info to come back. We bore our testimonies to him and
Elder N stuck a pass along card in the Book of Mormon on 2 Nephi 33 and asked
him to read it and he asked if we were thirsty, got us some water and while we
drank the water he stood there and read the chapter. After he finished he said
he really liked what he had read and wanted us to come back. It was sooooo neat
and the Spirit was sooo strong. After that a little ways up the street
there were a couple of kids trying to get a couple of balls out of a tree we
asked if they wanted help. Turns out they had a basketball, a soccer ball and 3
footballs all stuck in this big ol tree. So Elder N got one football
out and the basketball out and then Elders H and P showed up and Elder H
got one of the other footballs out and was working on the soccer ball and I
was trying to get the highest football. Finally we were going to just give
up and go but we both gave them one more shot. I threw the basketball up and
hit the football out! But that’s not all. The basketball came back down,
bounced twice and swooshed into the basketball hoop! Haha that couldn’t be
repeated if I tried the rest of my life!
Not too much else was
really neat this week. We did get to go with our ward down to Redlands temple
and set up the manger scene they have out and that was super fun. Sadly I
forgot my camera but when we go back to the temple to help clean it in a couple
weeks I’ll take some pictures. Well that was pretty much the highlights from
our week! Love you tons!
