Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!
There is a girl that is in our ward that married a guy from here and she is from Ogden I think. Anyway they wanted to have a dinner with us that night with our investigator Carlos, so we are going over there. Speaking of Carlos, he is the one that I found my first day here, and guess what...he came to church on Sunday!!! We haven´t been able to go over and have a lesson with him since then, but we are hoping to today, and we are really hoping that he liked church. He had a question that he didn't want to tell us yet hoping that it would be answered at church, so I am hoping that it was.
THANK YOU for all of the letters from the family dinner! I love them! I am working on getting everyone in the family written but just haven´t yet. I have partial letters written. I did how ever get a letter sent off to Karm this week finally, and one to Michele (who is Trinity´s Mom) she wrote me in the Provo MTC and I finally got one sent off to her.
I do have to say I talked to an Hermano in the ward that is excited to help me find some rocks. Rock hounding continues in Guatemala! Solo on p-days when we have time, but still! You should look up the Jade factory in Antigua, I guess they have a huge one! I only saw all of the little shops that sold the already done jewelry or figurines and such.
Happy Birthday to Papa and Avery and Kelly! I thought about you all on your birthday´s and we sang to you in Spanish and I had a sucker or chewed a piece of gum in the house for celebration:-) They have fabulous suckers here called yogurt suckers! They are like blow pops but instead of gum inside it is a starburst type thing! Also they have all kinds of chips!!! I love trying them, and have found some that are like willy wonka have a whole meal in a piece of gum, but it´s in a chip. It is so weird but great.
I got a letter from Gram and Papa this last week, and also Hna y Hno Harrison and Tamera and Daeneese and a Dear Elder from Brother Schmidt! It sounds like we are all kind of experiencing the same struggles and such. I am so amazed still with how hard it can be and how much work it takes to really know the Gospel, and it is still a life long process, but how easy it is to forget. I just heard that Hostess shut down, that is sad because as gross as this is I´ve been wanting a twinkie!
Preach My Gospel is such an amazing book and teaches us the basics in a simple way, read it and study it. But most importantly read the scriptures as a family and pray before and after. I know only through prayer that I am understanding the Book of Mormon more than I ever have. I still don´t completely understand it all the time, but I love reading it! Well here is just a few pictures, I didn´t get many this week. I hope you know how much I love all of you and I am so grateful to all of you! Have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!!! Love you all!
SLY,
Hermana Wilcox
