Thanksgiving in Nephi

Hello everyone!

It has been a fun filled thanksgiving week in Nephi, Utah. I myself was stuffed like a thanksgiving turkey 3 times over the course of thanksgiving and even more throughout the week with leftovers and such. I would say that I am about ready to hibernate but there is no time for hibernation in the Lord's work. We played in the turkey bowl tourney for Juab county. There was 8 teams and I was on the championship winning team and made the championship winning touchdown catch just like I hope megatron did for the Lions on thanksgiving.

We went to sing at the retirement home and it was such a special experience. They were so appreciative that we would take an hour out of our day to go and spend time with them. Elder Lazarus played the piano and I sang. We had a good time. 

The weather has been unexpectedly warm this week. the promise of snow and cold is ever present though. They say it is supposed to storm pretty good starting Tuesday and that we will get our fair share of the Utah cold. I simply can not believe that it is almost Christmas. It is crazy to think of how fast my time is flying by here. This transfer ends this week. It went by way too fast. From talking with President I think that Elder Lazarus and I will stay together here for another transfer. 

We are still working on finding people to teach. It has been pretty slow as of late but there are some promising signs that the work is picking back up. We had an unbaptized 10 year-old come to church for the first time this week. His mom was completely against the church ever since I have been here and something happened and her heart was finally softened. Miracles are happening.

I want all of you to know of the great testimony that I have of this work. Our God is still a God of miracles and if we take the time to see that then we will know how big of a role that is hand plays in our life. I hope that all of you had an amazing thanksgiving. I love you all!
