Food and Football!!

Hey everyone! I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving, because I sure did! This week was really a blur, I can remember Thanksgiving pretty well and a few other activities during the week, but other than that I'm clueless. Anyway here's how the week went!

We had I think 1 or 2 lessons with Ariana this week! She's getting more and more excited about baptism every time we see her. Her and her family actually came to church this week too! It was so good to see them there, they're actually really committed to coming back for good, and I am so happy about that.

We had a lesson with Daniel on Tuesday. We have been kinda going out of order with the lessons based on his needs, and so our first lesson with him was on the plan of salvation. This one was on the restoration. He seemed to understand it all and didn't ask too many questions. He's opening up more and more, so that's a good sign. We really hope to have him commit to baptism soon!

On Thanksgiving morning we played football with our recent convert's Dad, Derrick Blundell and his ward. It was super fun! Lots of youth and also dads out there ballin' out. It was pretty competitive, and of course my team won. It was a great game though, and it was freezing cold. Then for our first meal we went and ate with the Blundells! It was so good to share another meal with them, especially on the holiday. They're doing so good and remain active! Joelynn already has a calling as a Sunday school teacher. Our next appointment was with the Jacobsen family in a different ward. Lots of family, friends, and food! It was a good time. Then later that night we went over to our stake presidents house, President Macrum for some pie. Overall really good day! I was reminded how thankful I am for the amazing members that have taken care of me the past 20 months on my mission. I'll never forget that!

Saturday morning we woke up, looked outside, and it was ALL WHITE. It had snowed so much that night I think I cried. I hate snow. I hate cold. Anyway, the main reason I was sad was because at 10am that day we had an Elders vs Youth football game with one of our wards. We thought it'd be canceled, but nope they were playing regardless. So I did something I never thought I'd do, and that's play football in snow! It was actually so fun. I would rather play in snow than without snow actually. I could do without the cold weather though... Anyway, check out the photos below!

That's really all I have this week. It was definitely one I'll remember! I love you all, have an amazing week!
