Thanksgiving was 100% uneventful for me. For "Thanksgiving dinner" we ate salchicha with fried egg (its like hot dog but mushier). Our pensionista makes it a lot because my companion really likes it. It is pretty yummy. I think everyone forgot it was Thanksgiving. I celebrated by making a list of things I am grateful for in my journal and we tried to find apple pie but there was none. It made me super grateful for family and for the chance we have to reunite with our families and give thanks.
This week we probably walked a million miles because we contacted a lot. Contacting is pretty much trying to let people know who we are and we try to share a little bit of what we believe in (usually by knocking on doors or going to parks or stopping people on the street) Hermana Baez and I had a goal to contact 20 people every day. The elders made fun of us because I guess they think its a lofty goal. But I am happy to say that we met our goal every single day this week. It makes me happy to meet new people and share with them a little bit of my testimony of Jesus Christ and the light that we have. We almost had a Bible Bash with a Jehovahs witness, a man told us that Moroni is reincarnated and living in India and also that he has direct contact with extraterrestials, and several people closed the door in our face. But it was fun.
I read a scripture this morning in Alma 20:4 that says "I know, in the strength of the Lord thou canst do all things" I am glad that I have Heavenly Father on my "team" and that my parents and friends and family are all rooting for me. I can feel your love even though I am far away. Have a great week!
