Mom,
Sorry i didnt write last week. The libraries were closed, and then we just didnt have any time after that.
Thanksgiving at the Doolans will be fun and im sure filled with laughter. We will be spending it with 2 families who have a traditionaly exciting feast. The Tardiffs and Grujoskies say it is painfully delicious.
Have they made wedding announcments yet? im still waiting for mine. I still havnt seen a very good picture of this dude that my sister is being sealed to.
How is Natalie? Is she going to Texas for Grandma's feast too? How is grandma by the way?
This are good here. Very busy. We have a baptism this sunday which we are very excited for. Last week president had surgery on his ear, and so we were given charge for 3 days. It sounds cooler than it was. Not much really happened.
The work is really picking up. We are seeing sooo many miracles. Its amazing. Sometimes we take for granted the phrase "ask and ye shall recieve", but its soo true. Its a great thing. We were able to tour around the mission this week and talk to missionaries in a lot of areas. It was a testimony to me of how much some missionaries give up to go serve a mission, and how the Lord blesses them for it.
transfers are comming up, and we will be starting them Next week. Its weird to think that next transfer is my last. I cant believe it. its sad.
However, these weeks have been the best, and im working at applying all that im learning. I hope to share it with others and perpetuate the "lessons learned" (as the military calls it). I love you and miss you. ttyl!
