Mission scripture

"Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever." Alma 26:12

ITS DECEMBER!

Where has the time gone?? Its already December?? What the freak?! Cray cray!
 
So Thanksgiving was so fatning. I mean fantastic! ;p we had two meals and oh my gosh...one is good enough for me!!! I felt like I wanted to go balemic for a sec...thats how full i was :p I'm such an idiot, I filled my plate full both times to the max! My comp laughed at me lol i was so mad at myself but had to eat it. It was veryyyy weird not being with the family thats for sure! Both places I walked in.... Where are the kids?? It was like silent...man I am looking forward to next thanksgiving thats for sure! Never thought I would but I miss hearing my loud obnoxious 12 nieces and nephews...including Jasmine ;) haha jk! But it was cool getting to experince the difference! I was definitely greatful for my family that day! :)
 
oh and by the way, Im glad we do our sweet potatoes normal. Marshmellowed/brown sugar'd...GROSS!
 
Oh and one of my friends from Denton, Beth, came to Arlington and took us out for dinner. I was sooo happy!! I've got friends that love me ;) thats who that is in the picture! Random, i know!
 
We had a good week this week though, considering EVERYONE'S gone to home for the holidays! YSA...gotta love it! We FINALLY got ahold of a less active on Thanksgiving and he told us that he wants to start coming back and his goal is to go on a mission, his names Anthony. We came back and had a lesson on the Restoration and he just cried! The Spirit was so strong, he completely felt it all! Seriously, experiences like these make every bit of this gosple worth it! There is absolutely no way we could do this work without our Heavenly Father. He does it all! Its awesome!
 
He also brought his friend to church on Sunday, Sebastian, and we taught him that night. It was sooo good! He has had a hard life and his parents are the worst example so now he's living with Anthony. We taught him the Plan of Salvation and he accepted it so well. He felt the spirit so strongly. I LOVE THE GOSPEL!!! 
 
So this week I also got to drive. It was so weird! I miss it! Larissa, your gona freak when you get back in the car...no more buggies for you ;) haha maybe you can ride your llama's around...TINA ;)
 
Ohh!!! So this is terrible...your gona make so much fun of me but...I said y'all in a sentance and once it popped out Sister Edwards was like YOU SAID IT!!! Nooo.... :/ Texas is gettin' on me! Shoot! Speaking of which, we found a mansion. Its huge, Mom and Dad, come buy one ;) it can be our new cabin!!
 
One more thing on the Christmas list: I need gloves...its so cold!
 
And thanks for the TG package, we havent eaten it yet...were still fat from Thanksgiving day ;) but no worries, we'll get to it!
 
Have a goood week!
