I hope you all ate a lot of food! This past week has been great! Much better than last week!
Tuesday November 26
We had service at the food bank! It was a fun day! We didn't have to sort frozen meat that day! I was really excited about that! It was the last day of service before transfers! It was a crazy day! Then afterwords we all went out to eat together as a district!
Wednesday November 27
Wednesday was full of contacting and last minute grocery shopping for Thanksgiving! We went and picked up plants and cute little bags for our Thanksgiving dinner appointments. Walmart was a mad house! Holy Moly, I do not want to go to Walmart again on Thanksgiving week.
Thursday November 28
Thanksgiving day!
We spent four hours helping cook Thanksgiving dinner at a members house! Holy Moly it was a lot of food and pies! We helped make fifteen pies. It was crazy! All kinds of pie too! I am really proud of my cherry pie crust! (I will have a picture at the bottom of the email!) From that four hours of experience, I'm practically a professional baker now. I specialize in pecan pie, lemon meringue pie, cherry, and pumpkin. We then went over to another members house and ate some dinner and called our families! It was a busy Thanksgiving! But super fun! I learned that making pies isn't that hard, but they take a long time to cook!
Friday November 29
We had Zone Council! A lot of new missionaries are in our Zone this transfer! It was fun getting to know everyone and set goals for this transfer! We also had a music practice for a Christmas concert that we missionaries are putting on! Let's hope it is good! We don't have that much time devoted to practicing!
One more day till the end of the month and we managed to save about 100 miles to go out and visit people that live really far away. We spent sixty miles yesterday contacting people that live about forty-ish minutes from our house! It was so fun! Two of our contacts live by a place called Hueco Tanks. It's a state historic park! I think you can camp, rock climb, and other outdoorsy things. We took photos by the huge rock obviously! What else would we have done? Lol
Saturday November 30
Last day of the month!
Another day fun of contacting and finding! We still had sixty miles to kill! We tried to plan our day super unorganized mile wise. We thought we did a good job of it too, until we checked the mileage halfway through the day. We had only gone ten miles and it felt like we had been driving all day. We decided to continue to our schedule. After dinner we didn't have any lessons or appointments to be at. We decided to get to know our area a little bit better and use our miles! We drove all over the place and stopped for all the people we saw (so we could talk with them!) It was a crazy fun two days, especially when you have the miles to do whatever you want!
Sunday December 1
Happy Fast Sunday.
Church was great! We had an investigator show up and better yet she was fasting! We talked about fasting in our last lesson and it was super cool to see her implementing it into her life! More contacting and finding! We had a few lessons today as well! Sunday was a great day! We were in the right places at the right times! At dinner we held a members pet snake! It was so cool! I had never held a snake before in my life! By the end of the night it became my good friend!
Scripture of the week
3 Nephi 12:14-16
Verily, verily, I say unto you, I give unto you to be the light of this people. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.
Behold, do men light a candle and put it under a bushel? Nay, but on a candlestick, and it giveth light to all that are in the house;
Therefore let your light so shine before this people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Since it is December now, the "#LightTheWorld Initiative" has started! I picked these scriptures in 3 Nephi because during this month, we are asked to shine our light a little brighter! "#LightTheWorld" is something that is so simple and gives us an opportunity to share our light with others! Anyone and everyone can do it! You can find the calendar for the service prompts at www.ChurchofJesusChrist.org
Join in and be example of Jesus Christ and help others feel the true meaning of Christmas!
I invite you all to participate in #LightTheWorld! Share it with your friends and family! Let them know the reason for the season!
Have the best week ever! Remember who you are and stay hydrated! And #LightTheWorld this Christmas season!
Love,
Susanna Tracy
